Invincible Iron Man #11

How do you read this?

trying not the throw up!

>How do you read this?
A better question is "Why on earth would you want to read this?"

Anyways the answer to your question is that you don't.

I don't. It's not because Riri is black, it's just that I never found Iron Man all that interesting.

Is Riri a lesbian? I didn't know.

I think that's her mom.

Is that old lady Aunt May?

Who knows? She barely has any defining characteristics

I don't know man. I just don't know. I've not read the full thing yet but the few things I've seen are disheartening.

Hugging babies, anti-recidivist - It's like they're making Tony Stark into RDJr and melding MCU Tony and 616 Tony into one being. Why.

right to left like any other manga.

Are they really treating her forcibly taking over a country and just leaving with the same mooks in charge as a good thing?! Cuz schools which is fucking stupid because im pretty sure Doom isnt outsourcing his more advanced jobs like doctors or lawyers.

remember gillen's run; where we found out tony was adopted? that's his real mom

And his real mom coincidentally is just Ultimate Aunt May in personality and design.

You obviously get your happy chip installed first, then read it like anything else.
After the chip everything is just peachy, even this abomination.

That was an extraordinarily dark cartoon for a Nickelodeon after-school thing for children. I'd suspend disbelief if I'm reading fanfiction.

>How do you read this?
I pirate it and wait for Tony to comeback.
That's makes it easier since I'm not spending any money on it.

By turning off your brain, as Bendis intended.

Riri Williams?

More like Me Me Williams.

Honest question, in romance novels is there no conflict? Is it just people sitting around talking about how awesome everyone else is?

Because thats what the Riri book is, and its *boring*. But if this is what women seek out of storytelling then perhaps its the perfect fit for them. But for this male, a character who never does anything, never struggles and with that struggle, overcomes, is boring as hell.

Riri is the polar opposite of Demon in a Bottle. We'll never see her screw up, we'll never see her alienate all her friends, we'll never see her hit bottom. Thats a bad thing, because only from hitting bottom can you tell the redemptive story of climbing back up.

I guess Bendis is scared to death to do anything bad to Riri because he'll be slammed for "i cant believe you are so racist and sexist as to have a black girl screw up!" responses you know he'd get. Its ok for white males to mess up, but everyone else must be epitomes of perfection. Which is exactly how Marvel *didnt* portray their characters for decades, but broken humans doing the best with what they had.

Imagine if RiRi replaced a character that people actually cared about.

Same here user. Until Ree-Ree is off the book, I'm not touching it.

So is anybody gonna storytime this or...?

Literally nothing of interest has happened yet to storytime.

You'd be better of reading Infamous Iron Man.

I think the point here is avoiding reading this.
Also this, nothing happens. If I had to make a comparison to other media this is the Glasslip of comic, they spice stuff up, has big funds behind it and even a meme writer, yet nothing happens.

Even if the premise was and will always be stupid they don't even do fun stupid, just lame stupid.

Yeah, but isn't this the "final" issue before the renumbering? Isn't there some sort of hint to the whole "Search forTony Stark" story? What are the "5 things you didn't know about Tony Stark" ? Besides, Infamous is ending with the next issue.

>Imagine if RiRi replaced a character that people knew wouldn't be back in a few months.
FTFY.

>Honest question, in romance novels is there no conflict? Is it just people sitting around talking about how awesome everyone else is?

All romance books go the exact same way romantic comedy films do. First the main character and the dreamy guy hate each other, then circumstances force them to be together, they slowly warm up to each other, have a moment where they "break up" until one of them confesses love in some important moment like other one going to leave to the other side of the country or marrying someone else. Then they live happily ever after, leaving that poor guy or girl on the altar thinking what the hell just happened.

Other version is the Twilight version where main character is a cardboard cut-out and its all about hanging with the dreamy guy, with some plot thrown in at times to pretend the story is about something else than the male sexual fantasy. This version is just borderline porn.

The same way you read any Nu-Marvel comic.

I just saw on Tumblr a scan... Tony hugs babies when he can't sleep... Am I the only one who finds this... weird? Like, extremely weird?

Where's the storytime for this?

Nobody is doing it because apparently it's a boring issue this week.

I just think of Micheline and Layton and immediately start evincing stigmata. Clearly this is not a good sign.

Just get Joe Casey and Frazier Irving to do this book until they both die. problem solved.

OP, it's time to put the books down and walk away from Marvel until they get their shit together. It may take years, but you can get through this. We made it through the 90's, we can make it through this. And maybe there will be something worth coming back to in the future. But even if there's not, you're only punishing yourself and rewarding them for bad behavior at this point.

Has Bendis' direction to make 616!Tony into RDJr increased the comic sales?

RDJr was just doing ultimate tony, for the most part, who was basically drunk douchebag Tony who had never hit bottom and never would. making 616 into that is horrendously stupid. even the move version grew up a bit. you can't go backwards. unless you want to say tony was never actually un-inverted. that might work.

Why is MJ still there?

Are you talking of romance as a current or as a genre, latinoamerican romance is quite hardcore due to its settings.

Don't indulge Marvel in their "Riri" shit, thanks in advance

you could literally do MM having drunk tony pick up a stripper and drive his fucking car into a tree every issue and sell more than this.

>>RDJr was just doing ultimate tony, for the most part, who was basically drunk douchebag Tony who had never hit bottom and never would.
t. someone that literally knows nothing about Iron Man in either 616 or Ultimate form

...

>10/15 Invincible Iron Man #1 - 279,514
Keep in mind that this high number only exists because of the 20+ variant covers. Marvel was hell-bent on making Bendis' run a smash hit using gimmicks rather than storytelling to win comic shops over.

That kind of storytelling only appeals to developmently stunned womanchild like Kate Leth.

>How do you read this?

Well, much like every other thing Marvel is putting out, you don't. Why would you?

Everytime a Riri issue come out I´m scared to death that Bendis will try to push Tony and MJ

I would actually read that if the panels were memetic enough.

>Tony and MJ

Oh fuck yes! I wanted to happen to see the shit-show.

Netflix Original Iron Man animu when?

>Keep in mind that this high number only exists because of the 20+ variant covers.

And was also included in Funko's subscription box.

Strangely enough though, Funko hasn't included comics in their boxes lately.

Riri is also based off his daughters. Of course she's going to be flawless and perfect.

Benis is a fucking hack

You dont

what, you expect him to have her pull a train on the wrecking crew? that's at least year four.

As every human I have a morbid obsession with seeing the world burn, but that's the equivalent of eating a kitten, and that's were I draw the line.

It will be a shit show of epic proportions, but it would also be a sad point in comic history.

>What are the "5 things you didn't know about Tony Stark"
Thing Number 1: He cuddles and hugs babies.

Step 1. Pick up comic and see the name Bendis
Step B. Put the comic back down
Final Step: Turn 360 degrees and walk away

I'm not surprised. Is there a website for those numbers?

Also, what's the sales for Infamous Iron Man like? It's been a good run. I like this a lot more than Superior Iron Man (best boy).

>360°

>No way in Hell... (And when I say that I actually mean it)

HAHAHAHA Ohhh how funny good joke is... See, because he is Mephisto and he is from Hell and he said a common turn of phrase but because it's Mephisto - Ohhhhh hahahaha hahaha haha ha ha HAHHHHHHH HOW FUNNY.

Western romance novels. And western romantic comedy films. Not counting soap operas, those can get really fucking weird the longer they go. Those small but thick books you see on local store shelves that women keep insisting are not softcore porn even when they clearly are?

I recall reading an article about japanese romance VN's aimed at women, which are a near billion dollar business at this point in there. Most popular husbando in all of them is the hard to obtain-tough warrior/fighter guy who is cold towards the main character at first and rarely shows his true feelings.

>ultimate tony
>douchebag

what

Yea he definitely wasn't an asshole but the fun, quippy, partyboy element was there for sure. I dunno what he means asshole. Maybe he's confusing Arno.

Wasn't Gregory Stark in Ultimates?

Fuck. Sorry for the terrible pinterest thumbnail. I hate how every image result comes from that thieving scam of a site.

Oh it was Gregory in Ultimates, got my wires crossed and it's all good

who the artiest?

you dont .

read some of dc work at least they dont do comic book mega events every 3 months
