Steve Bannister aka ComicDeepDive now reading Iron Man

The owner of a hair and beauty salon says to Tony Stark, "Speaking of which, you have wonderful hair, Tony, but the cut is a bit, shall we say, yesterday? Want me to fix it?" Tony thinks to himself, "I didn't know it was broken!"

Tony exits the salon, where Rhodey is waiting for him. "All done?" "Yep, what do you think?" Tony is rocking some kind of perm/wave on top, with a long, straight mullet, which presumably artist Mark D. Bright thought was a "chillin' doo, Chief!" as Rhodey puts it.

Oh no, don't do it, Tony, don't d.... oh, he did it! 🤦‍♂️
Tony gets a "chillin' doo" in Iron Man #223.

I shall check that one out!

I just discovered the "Onlyposts" feed for when I don't want to see reposts from the people I follow, and now I don't have to constantly hear about the ongoing shitshow that is the US if I don't want to. It makes Bluesky blissful again! 😊

The cover is by Gil Kane. That Daredevil pic is ingrained on my brain thanks to the Topps stickers from the 70's.

Reminds me of this from my hometown a few years back:

I love the shapes of the word balloons. Is there any logic to the way they're divided up, or is it just what feels/looks right?

Super Visible. The Story of the Women of Marvel Comics, by Margaret Stohl, Jeanine Schaefer and Judith Stephens.

Looking forward to diving into this:

Freya from the animated Predator movie, Killer of Killers.

Started watching Jurassic World Rebirth - was facepalming after 2 minutes, gave up on it after 20. So instead I watched Predator: Killer of Killers, which was awesome.

Agreed. Didn't care for the sequel, though. 🫤

My wife is away for a few days I just found these in the drawer. 🥰

What I want to know is why Jeff Goldblum turns into Christopher Walken here?!? 😵‍💫

That is bad! I've only ever seen the classic Drew Struzan one.

Hehe, episode 6 is... something!

Home of the what now??!?? 😵‍💫🤮

"Join us! Street sign unveiling ceremony, "Jack Kirby Way". Monday May 11, corner of Essex & Dalancey Streets, Lower East Side NYC."

I had no idea this was officially going to become permanent. Will have to pay a visit... *if* I ever make it back to NYC. 🫤

I agree some of the comedy undermines it, but it's still streets ahead of anything they've done recently. I think more stuff about Tony's PTSD would have slowed it down. Besides, he found a way through it... "build something!"

I think you'll enjoy it!

People are dummies, that's why. Particularly those who thought the Mandarin should have been the embarrassing racial trope from the comics. I thought having him be a focus-grouped stereotypical terrorist was brilliant.

I couldn't believe it was that long ago either! The last Marvel movie I really had fun with was Shang-Chi, and even that was 5 years ago! It's incredible the degree to which that momentum just stopped.

After Wonder Man, I thought I'd rewatch Iron Man 3 (key issue - 1st Trevor Slattery) and it made me realise it's been way too long since Marvel movies were this entertaining. 🫤 Also, best closing titles ever! youtu.be/OxL1p99EVCQ?...

They were like, "one day our names will make sense... but not for four generations!"

Nobody likes cheesy old comics as much as me, but I think I may have just found the limit of cheese that I will tolerate...

Great work! Now you have to restore the comics you cut up to make your pulp. 😜

... who the crowd were cheering for. Also, I loved his red suit - a nice touch!

Simon Williams leaving the premiere of Wonder Man in a red suit and black turtleneck.

I'm glad they released Wonder Man all at once. I think it would have been a bit slow to watch on a weekly basis, but as a binge-watch it worked really well. Apart from the "gaze into the fist of Wonder Man" moment, my favourite thing was Simon leaving the premiere and looking back to see...

Okay, Wonder Man episode 6... you had me going for a moment there! 😲😵‍💫😏

Thanks, Scott. It's always interesting to hear these behind-the-scenes tales!

So was this #54? I see that Dave Cockrum drew a different last page - did he redo any of the other pages? Why weren't you allowed to use Wonder Man? You'd just had all the other Avengers in #50 &51!

Now that’s how you do a wraparound cover!

Artists Mike Zeck and Tom Palmer pulled out all the stops for this one, the first of three issues reprinting classic X-Men stories drawn by Neal Adams and (the aforementioned) Palmer.
