Well said I couldn't agree more
Tony safeguarding the Cuckoos photobook with Dr Strange despite Emma not wanting to be reminded at this point is cute. I’m loving the Tony and Emma interactions
The Avengers cameos with Tony testing out mysterium against their powers was good (especially showing that Tony and Peter ARE friends). I really like Duggan’s characterisation showing how competent, careful and smart Tony is more

Duggan’s Iron Man is one of the strongest in the Fall of X arc.
Feilong is such a bastard, I love it. Tony saying he’s gonna get demonic on his ass was great
I love how Tony and Emma can be vulnerable, open up & support to each other. Them making a blood pact in the hell that Orchis has constructed is really cool.
I’m a riding the Tony and Emma ship. I want t more

Duggan has done it. I’m now jumping on the Tony/Emma ship. They’re giving serious power couple energy and I’m loving it.
Tony’s inner world referencing Deliverance (one of the best IM issues) was amazing.
Feilong is still a compelling bastard you want to see get punched in the fast
This is one of the strongest issues in this run. I really hope Tony x Emma c more
HELLFIRE GALA TIE-IN! As the X-Men throw their latest Hellfire Gala, Iron Man has to contend with the new Stark Sentinels flying through New York! Can Tony stop these mutant-hunting machines alone? Guest-starring Emma Frost!

The Stark sentinels are upon us!
The covers and promos played up Emma’s role (fortunately), hoping it stays that way because this is a IM comic
Tony calling Sunfire by his name was sweet
The message from Howard and new element was basically stolen from Iron Man 2
Feilong is such a bastard, I love it! Feilong whopping Tony after Tony’s win was needed more
Tony Stark is at the end of his ropes, so for support, he turns to-Emma Frost?! Will she help Tony overcome the attacks from his new foe, Feilong? Or will the White Queen leave Tony frozen in his tracks?

Amazing Tigra solo issue.
It was a great character study about Tigra, the balance between being a mother and hero, living on instincts, her insecurities (i.e. trust), and her relationships with her child, Hank and Marc.
It’s rare for an issue to summarise a character’s life so well, like before this issue I didn’t even know Tigra had a child, or that it was with a Skru more

Tony finally getting a solid W. Marvel does him dirty so much it’s surprising & satisfying when it happens.
I like the rivalry between with Tony and Feilong. The pettiness e.g. Feilong’s calling Tony old and Tony saying he’s fatherless is making their dynamic fun.
It’s still early days but i can see the potential to being a good nemesis- Feilong and Tony share many si more

IT ALL ENDS!
Tony Stark, the genius-billionaire-playboy-philanthropist, has lost it all: his wealth?his fame?his friends. But Stark doesn't realize he still has so much more to lose, especially when the assassins start to come for him! It's the beginning of the end, as the Golden Avenger must fight for his life and find out what it really means...
Some of y’all need to chill…
Is ‘Tony at his lowest’ are common troupe? Yes. So is Peter being broke or Daredevil being depressed. It’s not that deep.
Story wise I’m enjoying this:
- Good Tony characterisation
- Riri playing a prominent role in this run (which is very rare for marvel legacy characters)
- A mysterious, interesting villain that’s fucking with T more
IRON MAN VS. IRONHEART! The assassination attempts on Tony's life continue as a familiar foe returns to take him down. It'll be up to Iron Man and Ironheart to stop him?but what secret is Riri Williams harboring from Tony? And will this change their relationship forever?
Great first issue. I love the idea of Tony writing his autobiography. The first couple of pages is giving you a rundown of everything you need to know about Tony’s past. This narrative device makes you feel the weight of Tony’s history. He’s been through a ton of shit over his 60 years that isn’t acknowledged enough. Also using the CliffNotes style where he’s editing, deleting and re-wormore

This was my least favorite issue ngl.
There was too much exposition for my liking. Lady Yulan’s backstory along with Tutor could have been told much easier and faster through flashbacks.
While Moon Knight ventures into unknown territory to make a new friend of an ancient monster, Hunter's Moon stalks the rooftops on his own, intent on his own definition of justice. Little does he know that he is far from the only one stalking the nighttime cityscape...

What a stupid issue.
Why does Riri suddenly care so much about the Mandarin rings? She’s never fought the Mandarin, never interacted with him and knows fuck all about the rings…
So miss me with the whole “why do you not trust me?!”
This ‘I’ve been studying the rings for years and want to use them for good’ is the most forced bs ever from Cuntwell, try more
Tony Stark has all but bankrupted himself buying up every dangerous piece of tech he's chased down on the black market network, dismantling it from the inside. As he and Rhodey lock it all up and plan their next steps, Tony and Riri Williams argue over what to do with the most powerful weapon they've recovered...the Mandarin's rings.

It annoys me to no end that Danny was stripped off his powers and reduced to “the guy from the subway” just to make way for a new “Asian Iron Fist”.
I really don’t like the writer choosing Swordmaster as his pet project. Lin Lie was chosen for the Sacred sword, was chosen by Shao Lao to inherit the iron fist… if he was a female he’d be called a Mary Sue. And I wouldn’t a more

TONY STARK POPS THE QUESTION!
With Korvac, the Power Cosmic and a nasty morphine addiction now behind him, a freshly humanized Tony Stark has returned from rehab to the world hoping to show folks that's he's okay, highly functional and ready to re-engage. So of course it's time for him to face off against an angry hyper-intelligent gorilla. Whe...
After his battle with a super-intelligent gorilla in New York City, Tony Stark hops a flight back to California to get away for a bit.

After the thief escapes at 30,000 feet, Tony dons his Iron Man armor and flies after him...only to becom...
Vic Martenlli, Force, Titanium Man, Mandarin rings, Technovore easter egg
Man, can I first say I love how Cantwell brings back all this Iron man lore & characters.
Now, onto the criticism:

Tony Stark has worked hard to pull himself up by his iron bootstraps, and after a few detours, he finally tracks down his old friend and employee Vic Martinelli...only to find he's arrived too late and Vic's been murdered. Before a guilt-ridden Tony can get a bead on why, he's attacked by Vic's assailant...THE TITANIUM MAN. In the battle, he learns...
This issue captures the essence of Moon Knight and why I love this character so much.
It’s a deep introspection delving into Moon Knight’s psyche.
The constant shifts between Marc, Steven and Jake as they try to help Marc through his problems and realise his condition was never the problem and they need each other was beautiful.
The characterisation was perfec more
The scars of Zodiac's attack linger with the faithful of the Midnight Mission, but that doesn't stop Moon Knight from picking an entirely new fight. A new arc begins as Moon Knight goes to war with the vampires of the Structure, but he finds it a battle on two fronts - one on the midnight streets, and the other within his own mind!
RATED T+
Thus the finale to the long drawn out Korvac arc.
I have to say, I like that Tony and Korvac didn’t have a massive brawl and he was able to defeat him with words, to the point Korvac killed himself. That’s good subversion.
However….this run is still a steaming pile of garbage. Idk how Cantwell can show he can write Tony well and then give the most ooc characterisation t more
AT LAST, THE STUNNING CONCLUSION OF THE BOOKS OF KORVAC! Tony Stark must face Michael Korvac once again, and once and for all. No cosmic powers, no allies or henchmen, and no...armor?

It’s gonna be difficult to Google maps The Midnight mission since its now located in the House of Shadows!
Well done to Jed Mckay, he's doing a great job leaning into the idea that Moon Knight exists in his own strange corner of the Marvel Universe that's a intersection of "gritty street-level" and "supernatural horror", and is capable of both bringing in old "forgotten" characters more
Look for more information on this title in future issues of Marvel Previews.
Hunter Moon is dope.
Needs to become a mainstay in moon knight mythos
"Welcome to the Midnight Mission. My name is Doctor Moon. How can I help?" Moon Knight may be indisposed in the wake of the DEVIL'S REIGN, but the mission continues. In his absence, an erstwhile ally takes up the fight, but will the mystery of Stained-Glass Scarlet prove to be too much for Hunter's Moon, the Fist of Khonshu?

How do you fight someone that no one knows? Moon Knight is out for blood and hits the streets armed only with a name, but he soon finds out that in the twilight half-world of NYC super villainy, sometimes the streets hit back. And while he's fighting his way through the

This is a good world's finest book.
Derek Landy really understand the voices for Tony and Cap.
I didn't see the plot twist coming but it was good.
My only gripe is I wish Veronica's arbor wasn't just a mishap gear from Iron Man armour/Goblin Glider/Doc Oak tails
Secrets, lies and sinister motivations! Tony and Steve must form an uneasy alliance with their treacherous enemies in order to survive an assault by a swarm of Myrmidon-class killer robots, as the Paladins - the team of eager new super heroes - find themselves in way over their heads when they go up against the Overseer.

Captain America is shaken after a relic of the darkest chapter of his life resurfaces in the hands of a villain, and Iron Man struggles to keep him on track. When the hunt for Veronica Eden leads them to a stolen S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, they'll need all of their focus to survive

Really like the voices for Tony and Cap, especially for Cap, much better than what Cantwell or Coates did with him recently. I could do with less Veronica Eden, who I still have a hard time caring about. And yes, enough with the self-hate from Tony, if only Cantwell would get the message. I really liked how Cap got super mad when he saw the Hydra Supreme suit (yet another shitty thing Coates did, more

I know i'm late to the party and at that a party, for which not that many people are hyped for or attend even, but a party that like, now that i am here. Call me basic, but civil war is most definitely one of my favorite comics stories.
