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.

Oh, I'm not saying she's a bad person! I just can't understand where she's coming from right now in canon. It's not like Tony only just suddenly developed the need to keep things from people (which considering the amount of times he's been betrayed, doesn't seem too obnoxious) or decide things for them...

I can't really understand her reasons for getting angry (or even sleeping with Tony, but okay, with the whole dying thing... *shrugs*) But okay, having goodbye sex and then getting angry at it not turning out to be goodbye? I still don't get it, but I can sort of say that well, emotional upheaval so okay.

But continuing to remain angry and then demanding stuff because of it? Sorry, I'm not getting it... Especially since he's supposed to be one of her best friends/family for over a decade now... :/

Eh, I'm guessing the reactor and the suit are kind of symbolic of regaining her old life. Also, remember while it's been ages for us, it's been a much shorter time in-canon.

Hmmm, true... How long do you think *has* it been since the brain-delete in IIM? I'm sure the timelines aren't running the same way across the titles, right?

Oh man, I have no idea. lol, I don't even read the comic now so can't even ballpark, sorry!

My impression is that within IIM, it's really only been about 3 months at most. I could be completely wrong, though. I think they mentioned they only had 6 weeks to design and build the Resilient car before the expo thing.

Ooh, thanks! Though with comic-book rates of recovery, idk... I mean, realistically considering the amount of trauma all super-heroes go through within '1 year' of stories let alone '10 years' in comics, they *should* be shuddering wrecks in psychiatric wards... ¬_¬;

So basically, just like TV.
