Hi? Iron Man 500?

[fictivore.livejournal.com]

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.

Yes, so much! I want someone to rant with! ;___; It's like, I'm all for Peter Tony interaction because them pre-CW was one the best new things in comics, Tony needs as much more family as he can get and so does Peter. But in this issue, none of the 'help' Peter gave is anything that Tony should have needed! Yes, I can take Peter advising Tony on emotional matters (even though, wow, guy sold his marriage to the devil!) but none of the technical help was anything but obvious! Tony is a fucking once-in-a-millenium GENIUS! He doesn't need to be told how to track down components or that OMG! You can totally leave a backdoor in your tech! And yeah, make it Spider, okay?! WHAT.

And because people are apparently liking and buying this shit. This is what we're gonna keep getting! Ugh! I never thought I would ever even think this, but I just hope whoever the next writer is decides to go the way of X-Men and simply ignore everything Fraction has written. I want the Knaupfs back, dammit! They had such beautiful beautiful plans for Tony when they got cancelled, now it's not even funny reading about them. They got him, so much!
