Hi? Iron Man 500?

Umm.... So since there isn't really a Tony Stark community out there and I really really need some input on this. Help, guys?

I just read Invincible Iron Man #500 and apparently it's gone into reprint and everyone is really pleased with it. Umm, what did you think of it? Did you think he got Tony was right in what he would or would not do? Do you know anything about Fraction's future plans with Tony and what are your opinions about them?

Because I just read the issue, and... I can't get over it. I don't want to lead witness or whatever in the post so I'll put my opinions in the comments, but please, I really really need to get this off my chest. Thanks.

Even though I'd stopped paying for this title several months back, I caved and actually bought this one because I thought "It's an anniversary issue, surely they'll make some effort at awesome this time." Ahahaha. No. There is very, very little about that issue that didn't completely gross me out, from the art to Fraction's continued hamfisted bungling of the Tony/Pepper concept (not my favorite pairing to begin with, but it can be done well. He is not doing it well) to the fact that this title has become nothing more than "what failure can we whump him with next?" fic.
