Invincible Iron Man #13 Storytime

WORDS, WORDS, WORDS

SYNERGY

>"In order to cure the marvel universe of bendisitis, Iron Man has to go and get a DNA sample from the chief inhuman black bolt. Will he be able to get there without being a casualty of a shitty crossover? Tune in to find out!"

X-O MANOWAR

WHAT HAPPENED SO FAR
Keep up with story, chief Inhuman is Medusa.
>tfw they push her only because she can talk

This is a good piece except Matt's eyes, it's really distracting how bad they are.

TONY HATES IT AND WILL PUNCH DOOM

>chief inhuman is medusa
That's the point
>implying bendis gives a shit about continuity

TONY WENT TO SCHOOL THERE

>posting this comic so people who didn't pay can read
CAN'T YOU SEE YOU'RE HURTING EVERYONE!?

DOOM IS MATCHMAKER
Right, I forgot.
Forgot?

SHE'S VICTOR'S BFF
If I suffer, you suffer.

>that guy in panel 3
Yeah I wouldn't want to be seen in a Bendis comic either.

At least panels isn't reused multiple times, like in that other "famous" and "popular" work of his.

forgot? I can't believe you forgot that thing. it's just like you to forget that thing user. You know, that thing that you forgot? I can't believe it.

No synergy romance between Tony and Pepper, eh?

>are you sure
Ay ay ay.
Just imagine some football/basketball match in Bendistalk.

...

If he's such a great ally, where's my cure for cancer?

>Are you sure?

For all that it's Bendis, that really was a sick burn.

...

Little people remind me of toy soldiers.

>Luke Cage
Of course! Fucking Bendis.

I sometimes wonder if Bendis has some sort of Miller-tier ptsd or some shit, and he's just slowly going off the deep end,

AND? AND?? AND??!!

I know that face is traced from something I've seen but what?

And people say Bendis doesn't respect continuity.
Demon in the bottle and Doomquest are only stories he ever read, I bet.

...

SIX TONS OF SOVIET STEEL, TOVARISCH
Are you ready for new Bendis Guardians with Mantis and Moondragon?

...

...

And now you're dead. Dumb Rhodey.

Enter: VICTOR

;_;

Are you ready for "I always wanted to be you, Tony. You're the best of us"?

OK, that was actually pretty good.

Paul Moylan asks some real questions.

I imagine that's an actual conversation Bendis had with his editor for GotG in that first panel.

...

Oh god I just realized he's using Vincent Cassel as his "reference" for DOOM. hate that guy.

You're only just now realising that?

It never clicked until and I saw his weird head shape and hair line

fuckin deodato, he doesn't even bothers to hide his laziness

This was an entirely alright issue.

...

That's one of the Mighty Men of Marvel variants that were canned in favor of the Death of X variants.

No bully.

This is easy Deodato's worst work since his Wonder Woman run.
Thunderbolts & Dark Avengers was vastly vastly superior.

Such smart, much great.

Ah yes, the Cambridge University in London

I didn't read the last arc, why did Tony need to fake his death again?

Something about ninjas.

I still maintain that blaming Ulysses for Rhodey's death is fucking stupid

Wouldn't it make more sense if those word balloons in the first panel were switched? Tony has served with both Mantis and Moondragon, why doesn't he know who they are?

...

...

That's actually even worse. Bendis is saying that Tony drives several hours every day/spends a fortune on train tickets to go to Cambridge and back. They're pretty damn far from each other.

Well you fucking should because that issue made no fucking sense. I know Bendis forgets things between issues but within the same issue?

Maybe Rhodey is just more knowledgeable about his Cosmic Virgin Maries.

Yeah, Tony played the "I told you so" card way too early, Carol had done nothing wrong yet. He should have waited for Banner's death to do that.

>It's Rhodey.
>He's here.
>He's Gone.
>Gone where?
>He's gone, like, he's dead
>Dead? Like, not alive?

What did Bendis mean by this?

Look at Tony's right leg as he's falling in the thrid panel. Crocs and bodypaint.

Are those 3D models lazily thrown on the page?

And there I thought it was Clancy Brown with some Julian McMahon spliced in. Then again, it's Deodato.

HE HATES IT

we still talk about it, will increases the comic's market presence

all you had to do was upgrade the damn suit, Tony

Rhodey was iron man for a period. The Iron Man in the first secret wars was actually Rhodes. Mr Fantastic was slightly surprised to not find Tony inside.

What do you think?

I already knew that, why do you bring that up? It doesn't adress what I said. Tony Stark knew Mantis and Moondragon long before Rhodey became Iron Man.

Why does Doom look like fucking Rand Paul?

this wasn't bad at all.

If this event wasn't a hastily put together piece of shit and if Bendis was actually a good writer then yeah, this would have happened and the story would've flowed better.

Sure Tony can be angry that Rhodes died, but blaming Carol and the future prediction for it is dumb as hell. Only thing he should be mad at is maybe that Carol is a shit tactician. Banner though? That's fair game...if he himself weren't involved in that lynch-mob as well. Fucking hypocrite.

HOLY FUCK! That is one of the worst pages I've seen in a long time!!!

Just tell him your his father

Doom Paul became real.

so remind me again what the point of this run has been?

MOTHER
FUCKING
DEODATO

I honestly don't know. All I remember is Doom hanging around, Madam Masque taking magic gear, Tony's gf making cure for mutants and awesome facial hair bros. What waste of ink.

>tracing Christian Bale as Tony
They want to cast him as replacement for RDJ, don't they?

End Tony and bring in Riri, who's taking over.

Because a 15 year old girl with no combat experience is a suitable replacement for the smartest, most competent human being in the world.

The fucker try to use pity to get back in her pants. Serve him right.

So is this where we learn they were separated at birth?

Doom...Christmas ghost of Marvel past.

I never known a writer that enforces racist and/or religious stereotypes in every issue as much as Bendis....
