But really, its all leading up, hopefully to a clash between mandarin and stark, if IM's rogues gallery doesnt kill mandarin first. Im glad those guys finally got some characterization, other than being stuck in the background of fighting scenes. But, the book paints tony as being a drunk, egotistical douche for the last 40 years of his existence in comics and fraction is bascially pulling the reboot switch because of that whole mind wipe thing from most wanted. But yeah i like this more humbled stark.

^ is all I'm saying.

Sucks that you hate it Jason, but when last I checked Fraction wasn't the man responsible for the character direction of Iron Man in Civil War and Secret Invasion. He's being a good writer and dealing with the ramifications those events created and worked them into a way Tony can be reborn in the modern age.

I don't want retelling or continuation of OLD Iron Man stories, we get enough of that with other Marvel lines like X-men and Avengers. I want new stories with new character development that is relevant to modern society and how these characters would fit in it.

Of course Tony's suit is doing more in a book like Avengers...its a flagship title that DEMANDS action and guarantees it. With all the characters involved in those type of books its set up to showcase their abilities more than the character half the time. Solo books are supposed to develop the character and that's what Fraction's book is doing. I believe he's doing a tremendous job given what he had to work with after all of Marvel's events.

All I'm doing is offering a positive opinion to counter yours for those lurkers or fellow Arkers who may be discouraged from this book any further because they continue to read the bashing you give it. I almost avoided it because I respect your critique on comics, I still do, I just didn't happen to share the disgust with this series that you have. Just a difference of opinion is all.
