Ok, after dodging the comic shop for months, I have no choice but to pick up my bag (of goodies) or else they will sell it off to some other unsuspecting customer (Ha ha). Years ago, I used to buy a lot of comics such as Spawn, Iron Man, Spider Man, X-Men, Mangas and especially, Appleseed (Or any Masamune Shirow works). But after getting married, I really had to choose to either drop it completely or just get one or two titles.
I just love Iron Man and a bit of Batman
So, I stuck with Iron Man. I have been a fan of Iron Man since the 80's, buying them whenever I could. Because he was drawn by various artists, each of his armour varies from one artist to another. And sometimes, it was so cool and sometimes, it really sucked.
Just a few months ago, Marvel Comics generated a lot of hype on "The House of M" where Magneto's daughter, Wanda (aka The Scarlet Witch) has lost her marbles and this resulted in a World where its reality would never be the same. In other words, its time for Marvel to sucker every comicboy into buying their titles. This was just like in the 80's where the "Secret Wars" "forced" a lot of poeple to buy a horrendous lot of titles. For example, you have the main limited series Secret Wars book, followed by the tie-ins (affected comic titles). At the end of the day, you would have bought also a few other issues such as Spider-man, Fantastic Four, Thor, etc.
This is the same with The House of M. So, being a fan of Iron Man and I got suckered into buying the 3-issue limited sereis because of this picture:
Yeah, nice art and I was expecting more techno-stuff from Greg Pak
And I can tell you, the art and story sucks. The normal Iron Man series was much better.
