Pretty cool. As for A.X.E.: Avengers, I thought it wasn't bad as an exploration of the toll Tony's guilt has taken on him over the years since he became Iron Man.

Not just guilt, grief. Tony Stark is defined by grief and the anticipation of more grief. He constantly invents because he hopes one day to invent something so miraculous that no one has to ever experience grief again. Tony Stark is at war with death.

I guess that's one way to look at Tony, but I don't think he's that defined by grief even if he's had his fair share of tragedy.

Although I guess Yinsen's death was a pretty big Uncle Ben moment.

It was brief but Ewing writes a great Iron man in Ant man. It was so good, to me in fact i remember wondering why someone alluded to Ewing not liking him in the X-men red preview thread but maybe i read it wrong and they meant gillien and were talking about the main event. Either way, i think Ewing strikes the perfect balance between self confident, smart, but aware of others with Tony. He may ignore you sometimes but he's actually listening. lol

I think Ewing's written Tony decently at other instances.

That's a good way of summing it up, and the comic actually implied if not outright stated that, with the Progenitor Celestial going over Tony's parents' death with him and citing it as one of his core motivators even before Yinsen. Namely, the idea that it was a machine that failed to keep Tony's parents safe and alive, so Tony's big thing is inventing better machines that'll keep everyone around him, everyone in the world, safe and alive. I'd say grief and guilt can mix, a la "survivor's guilt," insofar as while he's grieving for those he lost, he feels guilty that he couldn't save them or that he "got to live" while people like Yinsen (and Happy Hogan) didn't.

I guess that's one way to look at Tony, but I don't think he's that defined by grief even if he's had his fair share of tragedy.

Yeah, it was, especially since in both their cases, the crux of their heroic motivation was that a particular person's death drove home for them the realization that their selfishness and irresponsibility with the power they wielded had directly (or indirectly, depending on one's interpretation) caused innocent people to suffer and die undeservingly. I'd say despite Peter Parker's infamous guilt complex, Tony's guilt was rather worse, because he was already an adult when he became Iron Man and had a lot more power in the relatively mundane sense compared to Peter at the time, not to mention a lot more deaths on his conscience, which would factor into why the comics (and other adaptations to a point) saw him go to extremes more often in comparison.

Oh, thanks for the recommendation there.

You’re right. It was brief, but I liked how Tony was written by Ewing. He had a nice grasp of Tony. I loved the plan he had Tony come up with to get rid of Pymtron.

Sounds interesting. However, my preference will always be the ones from Season Two (XD)

As soon as I saw the accessories, I heard "Proton Cannon"!.
