It looks nice .

I really like it. Beautifully done. It's my second favorite armor.

Cosigned. It's still the best 21st-century Iron Man armor for me. Great job.

Thanks for your nice remarks everyone!
This was indeed one of my favourite models and one of the few good parts of Bendis's run. Kind of bummer it didn't stick for a while.

This, the Superior armor, the modular armor, the new red and gold, the SKIN armor and the Sentient Armor were my favourite models.
The new model Tony wears in the Books of Korvak is nice as well. It grows on me as the time passes.

"Born Again" - haven't we done this a dozen times with Tony?

It's not like we've gotten solid years of stable, happy, progression for Tony.

This is a good piece, very nice, very nice.

Hell wasn't Cantwell's run him having a midlife crisis? How many midlife crisis' is he gonna have?

Calling it, this version of Stark will be an ugly deconstruction of Richard Branson. He's got Richard Branson's hairdo with a brunette dye-job. He's writing an autobiography like Branson. He's being called a "futurist", a word I hate because it's basically just a rich businessman propaganda word, and one that's been applied to Branson and several other billionaires.

This run will be a deconstruction of Branson mixed with several other billionaires, all of them horrible people who should never be the basis of a superhero.

The "futurist" thing especially gets on my nerves. Tony Stark is an INVENTOR, not a "futurist". A "futurist" is just a fancy word for someone who analyses market trends and tries to anticipate the market. I'm closer to being a "futurist" than Stark, in that I study balance sheets and try to anticipate the fair value those stocks will eventually settle on, allowing me to decide whether to buy calls, puts, or wheel-strat that stock. Except I'm not some narcissistic billionaire so I would never call myself anything that pretentious for doing something so incredibly banal.

It's telling that the time period when Stark kept calling himself a "futurist" was Civil War, and the whole point of him doing that was to portray him as pretentious sociopath political figure who deserved to be beaten down by the heroes of the story. The return of that word is a very very very bad sign about the writer's intentions and view of Stark.

From the Silver Age to the Civil War era, Stark was called a scientist or inventor. It's "America's top scientist Tony Stark" here and "the great American scientist Tony Stark" there. Scientist, scientist, scientist constantly pounded into the reader in those Silver Age stories.

The very fact that the writer implicitly thinks of Stark as a futurist rather than a scientist or inventor is a very, very bad sign and red flag. I associate the word with nothing but bad memories.

Thanks for sharing the article. I'm still nervous as this sounds like a retreading of stuff that has been done already. Although I am digging the art. It looks really good. Getting spoiled with all the artist Tony has had lately lol.

I like the idea of Stark dealing with his grief and survivor's guilt about Yinsen.

In that regard, he and Spider-Man (Peter Parker) could definitely relate. Hell, ASM's current run literally started with Peter completely alienated from his support network --- civilian and superhero friends, family, other loved ones --- because of some incident that ended with him in a smoking crater surrounded by utter devastation, and we still don't know the context or backstory for that yet. I'm really hoping Duggan at least spares us having to wait months to find out what would happen to similarly alienate Tony from everyone around him.

Should be an interesting read, especially given the shocker at the end of A.X.E.: Judgment Day #5.

Me too. It’s going to be a 40 page special so hopefully they really get into it.

Tony’s Lex Luthor was already Justin Hammer, or his brother.

Eh, I think they've pretty consistently shown that he's inventive and building stuff even when they've been pushing him as a Futurist, or melding the two together.

I guess that's about how I'd expect Tony to be judged.
