Future of Iron Man

[valtyr]

An interview with Matt Fraction about the future of Iron Man is here


"I kind of consider Peter Parker to be the moral center of the Marvel Universe, and I consider Tony to be the most morally flexible, the most morally unhinged hero in the Marvel Universe."

Well.

Some talk about Fear Itself.

"Tony has a big role, and it’s an important role, but he’s not just the guy next to Captain America."

Well, shoot. I like when Tony is next to Cap.

And Pepper:

"She is critical to the book, and my plans therein. Pepper going forward is a big deal."

Awesome. :)

What do you guys think? Excited about Fear Itself? Looking forward to upcoming storylines in IIM?

"I kind of consider Peter Parker to be the moral center of the Marvel Universe, and I consider Tony to be the most morally flexible, the most morally unhinged hero in the Marvel Universe."

Uhhhh. I'm the first to admit that Tony has problems, but the most morally unhinged hero? I mean, even if you separate out the anti-heroes, like Punisher and Deadpool, there are definitely worse than Tony. :| (I mean, look at Wolverine. At least Tony wasn't the one advocating offing a kid just because his mom was dangerous.)

With that and the not just standing next to Cap thing, I am somehow even warier of this new event. tbh, whenever I hear "comic book event" now, my hair stands on end. Marvel or DC. I just have this visceral "oh god nooo" reaction. I have never liked a single one, and I am hopeful that this will be the c-c-c-combo breaker, but yeah. I am wary as hell.

At least we'll get some awesome Pepper? Hopefully?

This pretty much sums up my thoughts. I get what comedian Kathy Griffin describes as a 'pre-diarrhea feeling' from this.
