Eh, resurrections don't really matter. In a year, nobody will care.

Death means absolutely nothing anymore in comics. This decade has seen more deaths and rebirths than anything else. Captain America, Spiderman, Jean Grey, Colossus, Thor, Ms Marvel, The Punisher, and Hawkeye have all died within like the last 5 years only to come back shortly after. And thats just Marvel. Deaths have become such a cheap gimmick its pathetic.

I actually forgot about that story until you mentioned It. Damn, Spider-man had a HELL of a decade.

Sorry to remind you dude.

He's had a hell of 20 years really. The 90's weren't all that great either IMO.

Iron Man/Thor on Free Comic Book Day? My two favourite Marvel heroes in a crossover, I won't complain.

Watcher World Premiere: Invincible Iron Man #22

It's Thursday and that means it's time for the Weekly Watcher World Premiere! This week, enjoy a sneak peek at INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #22 by writer Matt Fraction and artist Salvador Larroca.

 

[Raiden]

So Stark now has that thing over his chest like in the movie?

 

[kguillou]

^I'll let it slide cuz Fraction's doing an awesome job on this book. I really hope they somehow give Tony back his extremis powers, i thought that was one of the cooler aspects of ironman's revamp.

 

[Anubis]

He's always had that thing in his chest in one form or another.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Not always, but most of the time. He keeps taking it out only to get it back because it's like a signature part of his secret ID. Just like Blake got his limp back recently because when people think of Blake, they think "lame doctor alter-ego of Thor," not "young, happenin' doctor alter-ego of Thor." Hence, Tony "he'll die without his tech!" Stark.

This may be true.

Though, at least someone wants to see Stark go head to head against Count Nefaria sans the armor.


However, I'm glad I wasn't the only person who is unhappy about Blake getting his lame leg back.

 

[Anubis]

I didn't even notice.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm not unhappy about it. I didn't really think it was necessary, but it's not a big deal either way.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

I think it sucks. But I really more or less saw it as another stint of people writing what they believe Thor to be, over what he really is. =/

You know, like when he guest stars in a book, and he displays an intelligence where you wonder if the government gives the Avengers tax credits for hiring him, and wonder where his helmet is.

 

[kguillou]

Wait a minute tho, wasnt Tony healed of his heart condition a long time ago tho? Or am i mistaken?

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Yep.

 

[Anubis]

He got a robot heart made out of his armor that became sentient once....but that was three status quo changes ago.

 

[kguillou]

Ah regression, what would we do without you? Oh well, its not a big deal but still.

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

They replaced his robo-clone heart with a real heart.

Dude by all accounts should've died of heart conditions long ago.

He has, bar NONE, the worst heart problems ever.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

It's because of the Extremis. The Extremis basically destroys the body and remakes it all bio-mechanical or whatever it's called.

And the Skrull virus ****ed it up.

So Tony has to go a bit old school again.
