Because apparently one Iron Man book by Bendis wasn't enough, here's another one
here we go, yip
I don't like Bendis, his books make me angry.
I didn't like being angry, it makes my brain get hot and tight, so I stopped reading his books.
>>80800047
Good for you
>>80800033
can someone please stop Bendis from abusing spreads

you can disable all the botnet "features" if you aren't retarded about it

>>80800345
I mean to be fair it wasn't exactly a riveting origin and Stark isn't exactly a well-developed character. The concept of this book - to make Tony an interesting character - doesn't seem that egregious to me. Letting Bendis write that story though seems like a mistake, though.

cant
doom is about the same age as richards, so he is about 15 years older than tony at most
unless time travel is involved then just fuck it
>>80800516
Brothers then. Victor is Liquid, Tony is Solid

Why does reading this make me angrier with every page?
And why is Tony now adopted when he looks just like his fucking father?
>>80800604
How else could he be retconned into being Jew?
>>80800604

he's been adopted for a while

this is beyond stupid

>I mean to be fair it wasn't exactly a riveting origin
Both the original and the retcons are tied to US's external politics. This is just a story that could have happened at any time... after smartphones became popular.

How about you read Iron Man instead of reading /co/ memes and only the current run?
>>80800235
It's to keep the book timeless. If a person is reading this in 237 they might question why he DIDN'T google her.
>>80800860
God that's stupid. I wish I didn't ask. lol
Do you clowns not understand the sliding timeline? Or the fact that the Marvel Universe is far ahead of ours in technology?
Christ, you lot will find any innocuous reason to hate a comic, won't you?
>>80801066
Yeah that's right books set in the current day have tons of future tech just swarming into every day life, right? This is just shit writing, go fuck yourself, Bendis.
>>80801066
look
they can't have smartphones while Tony is in college because in Marvel, Tony invented the Smartphone while CEO of Stark Industries and its called a Starkphone
>>80800986
How about you recommend some good Iron Man stories? I'll wait for some recommendations that aren't mediocre tripe like Extremis or Armor Wars.
>>80801066
The problem is the writer doesn't take the time to call it something else. Instead, he makes a direct reference to the reader's world where google wasn't a thing 20 years ago.
>>80800158
Uhm, the University of Cambridge is not in London. what the fuck.
>>80801230
of course it is, everything important in Britain is in London
>>80800033
>Page 1
Yup,Bendis. You know, some would consider it a skill to have a style so instantly recognizable.
>>80801340
He should be in Imperial/UCL/Kings, like a London based uni if he needed the character in London ffs

Apparently he grew up in the future as well
>>80800345
Bendis does not give a single shit about continuity.
>>80800345
BENDIS DOES IT AGAIN!!!
"Continuity? What's that?"
>>80800345
>Why is this book retconning shit?
Seems like the marvel method.
>>80800249
>>80800267
By the time Google is a thing hand guns in the UK is a big no-no.

>>80800860
His mum know when he first met his brother but it may have been retconed.
>>80802935
This isn't even a continuity error. They're basic history and geography errors.
>>80803113
Bendis doesn't care.
He can do whatever he wants. The editors aren't going to do anything, Bendis knows where the bodies are buried.
>>80803113
In Bendis' book about world History, the U.S. kicks the Crusaders out of Europe for being mean to Muslims

Yeah, no, the comic fails in the most basic level.
>>80803594
Yeah, Bendis needs to be exiled to his own universe and make his own shitty characters instead of shitting up old ones people like.
Didn't Matt Fraction establish that Tony Stark was 35 years old? So he should be 36 now
>>80800345
Who says he isn't there to do post-graduate work? Who says he's not there just to meet Cassandra?
>>80803300
I'm pretty sure Bendis has some dirt on the editors.
So what does Mary-Jane have to do with Tony?
>>80805610
Tony Stark met her at a concert while fighting a super-villain.
Apparently in the MU if a concert you're playing at gets attacked by a villain, your career is ruined, so Tony Stark hired her to be his new Pepper Potts. Stark didn't bother doing any background checks on her, so he doesn't even know she used to live in the same building as him and was Peter Parker's girlfriend
>>80805806
Oh, wooooow....
I didn't even know Mary-Jane was suddenly a singer.
What happened to Pepper Pots?
>>80800022
I'm ready for my dose of suffering by bendis
>Bendis
>>80805806
>Tony Stark met her at a concert while fighting a super-villain.
No. Its even worse. MJ ran off to Chicago and started a new dance club. All so she could "get away from super heroes" (despite there, you know, being super powered people in Chicago in the Marvel U).
Tony and fights Madam Masque there and fucks up the whole club on opening night, bankrupting MJ.
So he feels guilty and hires her, literally replacing a redhead with a redhead and having zero knowledge of who MJ is (despite, you know, MJ fucking living in his mansion for a while with Peter).
>>80806746
This is beyond retarded. Did they literally pick the stroy out of their ass?
>>80806922
Isn't that what Bendis always does?
I'm convinced Bendis and Slott are in a feud right now.

What do you think Bendis' IQ is?
Sub-95?
i love how you dont learn /co/
invincible ironman got only like 30 or so replies on the last storytime
which mean you are laerning to avoid bendis
but then a new book comes out and you expect bendis to change and to make things right this time
but it doesnt happen so you have to suffer and get mad over it
its like you are on a abusive relationship with bendis
want a protip? dont read it, just see the images and make your own story, its better that way

>International Iron Man #1 is published today. A few days ago Bleeding Cool pointed out how Tony Stark now seemed to be going to Cambridge University – in a town that, for some unexplained reason had a load of East London West Ham United fans chanting in a pub.
>Well, with the publication of the actual issue today things get more confusing.
>Previously, in the established Marvel Universe, Tony Stark went to MIT as a student – which is in Cambridge, Massachussets rather than Cambridge, England. Could this have been where the confusion began? There are possibilities of international transfers between colleges, and this could still fit… but it does seem more of a permanent thing by the language.
>But it gets worse. Because it seems that in International Iron Man – Cambridge University… is in London. They walk out of a pub supposedly in Cambridge (with West Ham supporters) onto the South Bank of London.
>>80807750
No she doesn't. She quit. Tony runs the company and sucks at it. Which is why he is "poor". MJ's whole job is to reign in Tony and make sure he doesn't fuck up.
>>80807804
>I know.

Ah Twitter, I forget how stupid you can be
>>80808073
In theory, but Bendis himself in a tweet (see >>80807937 for that) claims that Tony was in his dorm.
>>80807937
That still doesn't explain the Google thing.
>>80807937
THAT JUST RAISES MORE QUESTIONS
Why the hell is Tony's dorm so far away from his university?
How much does he drive every day to go to class?
>>80800473
What if it turns out Tony, Doom, and Mary Jane are all related by blood?
>>80802961
Like I said:
>He probably expects the collected edition to be out in 2018.
Which doesn't mean he gave thought to the rest of it. See >>80807937 where his defense of the Cambridge in London mistake is to say that Tony is actually in his dorm.
>>80808146
Maybe that guy is the one who posted:
>>80802128
>>80801066
>>80808216
Wow that's fucking dumb. Why would you intentionally put yourself in the wrong like that?
>>80800423
Bendis is future-proofing his stories for when the sliding timescale makes 20 years ago 201X.

>>80808984
>When Bendis writes the O5, he makes them act like they're from the 60s

>>80806746
>despite there, you know, being super powered people in Chicago in the Marvel U
Really? The only one I know is Hawk-Owl, and he was in the ultimate universe.
Also I'm sure the real reasons was to get away from Peter Parker, which is, you know, more consistent with the ending of Superior than MJ just sat around in NYC in the subsequent run of Amazing and dating Rebound Peter.
As for not knowing her from Adam, aside from OMD bullshit (which would HAVE to make Tony forget the Parkers living in the tower or he'd remember in like 5 minutes), he had to reboot his mind from a pre-extremis backup in Dark Reign, remember?
I mean I get the impulse to shit upon Bendis (his work on X-23 was an abomination), but honestly I think he's treating MJ better than any other writer has since the JMS run.
>>80807064
I think Bendis just decided to get MJ out of Slott's grubby paws so he couldn't shit on her further. Bendis is pro Peter/Mj, and I think pro-marriage, not to mention Slott is squatting on ASM. It was the only way to stop him ruining MJ further.
>>80800393
IRON MAN OF MURDER
>>80808734
That would actually make a lot of sense. Could this be the one time Bendis has ACTUALLY posted on here?
>>80809287
>The only one I know is Hawk-Owl
Thor spent some time in Chicago for a while.
>Also I'm sure the real reasons was to get away from Peter Parker
I'm just going off of what is actually stated on the page. Whether that is actually true or not remains to be seen.
Having said that, Bendis' MJ reads nothing like MJ. Its like he has never read a single issue with 616 MJ in it before. That and he has a tendency to not give a shit about continuity...
So who really knows? Probably not even Bendis himself.
>>80809287
>As for not knowing her from Adam, aside from OMD bullshit (which would HAVE to make Tony forget the Parkers living in the tower or he'd remember in like 5 minutes)
That's not how that works. Even after the bullshit magic spell in OMIT, he should have figured it out.
>>80810228
Actually that's another thing, Slott got rid of the OMIT bullshit magic spell during Spider-Island.
>>80809287
>I think he's treating MJ better than any other writer has since the JMS run.
I don't think changing her entire personality and ignoring continuity is "treating her well".
>>80809287
>Bendis is pro Peter/Mj
>Bendis is pro Peter/Mj, and I think pro-marriage
I don't think these have ever been proven anywhere.

Why won't Bendis move on? Can't he go to DC or something?
>>80800247
I'm pretty sure Bendis has dirt on someone
When I interned at Marvel the assitant editor on Bendis' X Books got canned and I remember him talking about how Bendis wouldn't even talk to him anymore, how no one would give him Bendis' cell phone number to make working smoother. He also really didn't get along with Brevoort either, so that definitely hurt him as well.

Sorry for the late reply, but reading good iron man stories is not necesarilly something that proves the origin is good or bad unless the story in question explains it.

I don't think it has anything to do with people thinking maybe he'll be good and everything to do with everyone wanting to watch the trainwreck in progress.

He also really didn't get along with Brevoort either, so that definitely hurt him as well.
I wonder what that assistant editor did that got Bendis and Brevoort mad.

Either he was being dumb (possible given the Cambridge thing) or he's thinking long-term in the hopes that International Iron Man sells well in the trade market for years to come.

Told them there's nothing wrong with the number 616 and changing it would just confuse people? I know it triggers Brevoort (Quesada as well among others apperently) at least because they feel numbering Earths is too "DC" and makes 616 sound derivative instead of "The Marvel Universe" which he wants us to use instead. It's never going to stop as a way of referring to Marvel.
