Official Iron Man thread

You are so French.

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

I would imagine the Iron Man comic will get more exposure from the movie.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Which is probably a big reason the Mandarin has made his way back.

 

[PhotoJones]

Yeah, I don't see the classic version of the Mandarin being the one used for the movie. This current Mandarin is probably a lot closer to what the movie version will be like.

 

[Anubis]

I like that they put the rings in his spine.

 

[PhotoJones]

Yeah. If the Mandarin wasn't badass enough, the pierced spine definitely puts him up there.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Nah, I actually have laundry done every two days minimum.

But I just can't stand wearing the same five sets of clothing time and time again. Even if I buy similar designs, it's still better than nothing new at all.

Not having to wash your tiny wardrobe every two days'll save you a lot of time and water, too.

Are they the same character or two different people?

 

[PhotoJones]

Same character.

You make it sound like it's -me- who does the washing. XD

Anyways, like PJ said, it's the same character, it's just this new one seems a bit more badass, as it's a sort of going back to roots.

Where he did something like this before, creating a financial empire, and sort of pulled the plug on Tony in his part of the world, while turning a superhero (Psylocke) into his thrall. But of course, he sorta had the Hand as well. I guess his future Extremis army is it's replacement?

Because God knows the Hand is abso-f'ing-useless.

 

[PhotoJones]

Like I mentioned before, I don't know if he's more of a badass, but he is a lot more interesting. He's kind of suave, isn't it? He cleans up well.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

That's one of the biggest differences.

While he's done it before (the looking all professional thing), he seems to really mean it this time.

'Cause usually, he's in some gaudy green dress thing, spewing some sort of crap.

This incarnation of the Mandarin seems to be focusing on his actual ability to manipulate and outthink things, like he was known to in the past (primarily with the Inhumans).

They seem to do all right against the New Avengers every ten minutes.

That's because Bendis is a *****e.

"Oh, indeed." - Omar, The Wire

 

[PhotoJones]

It seems like you keep rubbing it in my face that I haven't watched that show yet.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

They seem to do all right against the New Avengers every ten minutes.

That's mainly because the New Avengers sort of suck.

 

[PhotoJones]

Nah, it's because Bendis sucks.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

And he's taking the New Avengers down with him.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

It seems like you keep rubbing it in my face that I haven't watched that show yet.

No, this time it was just because I like the way Omar talks and it fit with the conversation.

But you should watch it.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

What is this show I hear about? o.o

 

[PhotoJones]

No, this time it was just because I like the way Omar talks and it fit with the conversation.

But you should watch it.

I know, dammit!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

What is this show I hear about? o.o

The Wire. It's a super-awesome cop show that's frequently been called the best show on television by numerous critics and lots of its viewers. I'm still undecided between it and Dexter, but it's definitely way up near the top of my list if not actually at the top.

Preview for #24.

The Knaufs continue to work their magic doing morally gray unlike anyone else.Corrupt politicians and government officials,corporations with secret agendas,superhuman psychiatrists,and Tony Stark reduced to his old armor without Extremis and eating at a truck stop.

Why aren't you reading this book?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm waiting for the next jumping-on point.

 

[GNR]

You might as well jump on #21,this is a long running story arc.

Dude come on,out of all the 80 books you read a month,you're not reading this?
