THE NEW ULTIMATE IRON MAN ARMOR

The new Ultimate Iron Man armor just might be the worst Iron Man design I have ever seen, which is saying something since there have been numerous turd designs (especially within the Ultimate Universe).

Billy Tan, the artist who designed it, says "[writer] Sam wanted something with a little cross of EVA from Evangelion, something sleek and alien-like". By "alien-like" he obviously meant "Twiki, from Buck Rogers" and "Syclone, from Masters of the Universe".

ASTONISHING X-MEN #51

ASTONISHING X-MEN #51 was released today. It's an important issue because NORTHSTAR (X-Men & Alpha Flight) married his boyfriend, Kyle - the first same-sex marriage within the pages of Marvel Comics!

I was proud of Marvel when, 20 years ago, they made Northstar become their first openly gay character, and I'm proud of Marvel today for doing this. As an X-Men reader I could care less about this wedding, just the same way I didn't care about Cyclops & Jean Grey's wedding in '94 - I'm simply not interested in Romance Comics. But what I am interested in is EQUALITY, and not just for some, but FOR ALL

I KIND OF WANT THIS LAMP....



I KIND OF want it... 
too bad one of the figures is from 'AVP-R'.
I'd prefer if they were all from 'ALIEN'

READER MAIL: JRJR'S AVX WORK

My buddy Jason O emailed me while I was on vacation about the latest issue of Marvel's turdfest 'AVX'. He loves ROMITA JR like I love Greg Land and I enjoy his angry JRJR emails. I haven't had a chance to address his concerns so I thought I'd just post his email (hope that's ok, JasonO!)...

Hey Jim - I know you're on a much needed vacay, but we need to discuss JR jr's atrocious artwork in the new AvX #5. Specifically this big "fight" he drew to kick off the issue.

Am I wrong in not being able to tell what the fuck Cap's shield is doing here??? Did it get embedded in Namor's hip??? I mean, come on! The previous page shows Cap throwing it, but seriously - anyone who's not a complete buffoon knows a shield can't fly through the air like that.

And then Cyclops' optic blast - what the hell is it "exploding" on? Red Hulk's leg?

This is one of the most awful examples of his hackery I've ever seen. Please use your considerable influence on the web to SMASH THIS!!!

(you could also make that a new column on the site - Jim SMASHES So You Don't Have To)
