According to the FreepWatch thread in D&D, lunatic right-wing message board Free Republic has just found out about our All-New Iron Man.

(That link takes you to the D&D post, not Free Republic. I'm not a monster, after all.)

The most notable thing is that it's Aaron Kuder's first job since Greg Pak's Action Comics. He's amazing.

I knew a guy in high school who had a massive Afro that he was able to cram underneath an ordinary baseball cap. Hair is surprisingly compressible.

See also: women who can grab a pencil and turn their waist-length hair into a three-inch knot on the back of their heads.

I guarantee Bendis has like 3 helmet hair jokes already written.

Possibly followed up by a riff on the 'Stark steps out of the armour and is wearing an Armani suit' with Riri having perfect hair and a designer pantsuit/gown on.

I guess that my problem with Captain Hydra was that it took them less than an issue to reveal the mystery (despite being super obvious) instead of playing a bit more with expectations and misdirection.
Also is this the second time in less than 10 years of Cap totally for real suffering some terrible fate? Seems a bit overdone.

To be honest (hero) is suffering (terrible fate) has been the status quo for a lot of heroes for a long while now.

Yeah but I mean, a very definitive fate, like how Cap got shot dead at the end of Civil War (with uh, a magical consciousness trapping bullet or something like that if I remember correctly?) that the marketing people try to sell as something THAT CHANGES THINGS FOREVER IN ALL BOOKS

EDIT: magical bullet that had him phase in and out of time and space

Yeah but they say that all the time, like how Peter was going to be for-reals dead and Doctor Octopus was the new Spider-Man or whatnot or how Thor's currently Unworthy or Cyclops is dead or... well, you get the idea.

You really think it would have been BETTER to let everyone stew and yell for 3/6/12 months before explaining what was up?

If they did that everyone would be POSITIVE their own protests turned the tide and made them back down from what was certainly their plan to make him a real Nazi forever.

I'd bet that there's already a fair chunk of "activists" that believe their protests caused them to write an explanation and rush it to print the next month to stem the "massive" backlash.

I have seen this multiple times and it's hilarious.

One person is protesting by donating the cost of the comic to a Holocaust related charity every month, which if anything seems like something Marvel should be happy being responsible for...

Bleeding Cool is reporting on some more Marvel Now titles yet to be announced based on some promo posters that can be ordered.

quote:

Solo by Paco Diaz we might have presumed from the Divided We Stand promotions -Diamond code JUL161101.

The other two are Infamous Iron Man, by Alex Maleev – presumably Victor Von Doom in the role? Diamond code JUL161099

And Doctor Strange And The Sorcerors Supreme by Rafael Albuquerque – looks like we have a new team book alongside the movie… Diamond code JUL161100.

Trust me, you are taking this a lot more seriously then I am.
Screw the reactions it'd probably have made for a better story to put it off for two more issues. In the opinion of this connoisseur the third or fourth issue is generally the ideal explanatory issue deep enough in to establish the repercussions of the change but not so deep people stop caring about the mystery.

I want to take the idiot protesters who think their complaining about comics they don't read made Marvel change course and direct them to Amazing Spider-Man 36/Marvel Heroes, two of the most rushed-rear end rushed comics in the history of the medium which still took three loving months to go from conception to newsstands in the wake of one of the biggest terror attacks in history.

But no, really, Captain America being a fake fictional Nazi made Marvel react harder and more quickly than 9 loving 11. Yes. Of Course.

Ok, so there was something I was wondering about in Ultimate Fantastic Four, but it seems to never have been answered.

Ultimate Fantastic Four #7.

Why was Man Thing there? There was no explanation for this and it just seems like someone really wanted to draw him and snuck it in the page. Was it because he was next to Ben Grimm, who's a sort of man that's like a thing?

That middle panel is showing all the possible mutations that Reed and Sue could have undergone. It was possible Reed could have turned into Thing or Man Thing. Sue could have been metallic or fire.

Was Man-Thing in the Ultimates Universe a result of the same experiment That made the Ultimate FF and Doom? Everything else lines up in that shot except for Man-Thing as being a product of the N-Zone teleporter.

Am I the only one who really, really, really, really hates Ultimate Thor's hammer?

Why can't we just have Odinson rock around with his Destroyer arm, kickass axe and crazy Tetsuo cloak? Isn't that badass enough? He's more vulnerable without the hammer, it differentiates Jane from him even more, and the hammer just looks silly, especially when you've already got an axe like, right there!

Well it is called the Unworthy Thor. Maybe he still won't be able to lift it. I mean, I know he became Worthy again right at the end of Avengers before Secret Wars, but we're still a little hazy about a lot of things from right near the end of Avengers/New Avengers that may-have-most-likely-have-been retconned into never happening post-SW. You know, stuff like Tony Stark and Captain America beating each other to death in the middle of the desert or Punisher gunning down like every criminal in NYC in one fell swoop.

Although now I'm stuck thinking about the mechanics of Mjolnir(s). If Thor (Odinson) becomes worthy, wouldn't he just be able to summon Mjolnir-616 back to his hand again? Would that just rip it out of Jane's hand? Does he like... map a hammer to himself? How do all the worthy people not just summon the wrong Mjolnir all the time? Frog Thor would be pissed.
