Neither Micheline nor anybody else could have ended Tony Stark’s story any better than this. What we have here, is a textbook example of examining where a character has been, and giving him a picture-perfect sendoff. Ever since he built the Iron Man armor, Tony Stark has been about control. He wrested control over his fate from Fate itself in that war camp, and has sought to keep that sense of control over all aspects of his life, and those things he saw as right.

Boo!
It’s Labor Weekend here in the ol’ US of A and that means it is time to give thanks for the work we have and for the work we don’t have to have. Namely being a whiny Spirit of Vengeance forced to kill your own son for avenging your death. Or migrant worker.
Who’s Who [...]
The thrilling psychosis of the Dark Knight, the imminent peril of the Superman film franchise, another shot at BRAND NEW DAY and a tip of the bowler to a well-remembered actor. That’s all in this week’s edition of ZUR-EN…I mean, I’M JUST SAYIN’…C’mon in, the door’s open!
Where the heck have Mathan and Tim been? The answer may shock you (but probably won’t). Also this week: What’s Wrong with DC, Can DC Have a Secret Invasion, and Why are DC and Dixon Feuding?
