THE FIRST ACT OF “THE BOOKS OF KORVAC” REACHES ITS STUNNING CONCLUSION! It's put up or shut up time with KORVAC as the android mastermind begins the next phase of his ascent toward absolute power, and IRON MAN begrudgingly decides to finally ask for help. But...from who? As he takes charge of new allies and tries to use HELLCAT's weakened state to his advantage, Tony Stark might instead risk everyone's life including his own, especially when he confronts Korvac himself, one on one.
Just read the book, it's good. Good art good writing except for that one part that we all can agree was terrible. I'm shocked that Cardiac hasn't been turned into a full-time hero yet. All it takes is a few tweaks. I also find it hilarious that Tony is being called on his white privilege by.....Hellcat.
The fact that someone like Pasty Walker can be a superhero is a greater example of white privilege than Iron Man. If Stark is in the club, Walker is the President. The whole thing reminded me of a Bill Burr monologue https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O1xgXJ5_Q34
"The Marvel EIC Chair has a certain curse that goes along with it: it tends to drive people insane, and ultimately, out of the business altogether. It is the notorious last stop for many staffers, as once you've sat in The Big Chair, your pariah status is usually locked in." Christopher Priest
Sigh....it was all going so well, love the armor and the battles and such....and then Patsy has to pull the "white privilege" crap on Tony as he's in the hospital. Really? I can't even read a damn comic about my favorite hero without SJW politics showing up in it? I had a feeling this was gonna happen..
"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark

I feel like I’ll buy Iron Man purely for that Alex Ross cover art.
I’ve only read the first issue (the 2nd issue is on its way) and I felt it was largely okay.
I don’t know much about Cardiac, so I guess this would be a bit of a blank slate for me on his character.
He was legit. He was in Valkyrie #6 and #7, when Jane assembled a team of medical superheroes.

It would have been hilarious if Tony said "You're kidding right? At least I built my suit, that costume isn't even yours! It belonged to Tigra! I can see why you like it so much it's the only thing in your life that you didn't get through your association with a white dude, you off brand Betty Cooper from a wannabe Archie comic!"
