Ultimate Iron Man #1 (Spoilers)

[Goodwill]

What are you talking about? I'm not sure I follow you.... :?

I'm asking why is this even being made? Is there going to be a point or is just an excuse to get Card in to comics?

I don't think this is an excuse to bring Cad into comics. Iron Man is being given an origin so we can know what went on in his life before the Ultimates.

I would like to point out, that the ONLY problem I had with this issue was that Iron Man was not in it when it's called Ultimate Iron Man.

I'm not making any assumptions about the upcoming issues, nor am I complaining about the content (I actually thought this issue was quite good, and would recommend it if you like sci-fi).

My problem was a slight pet peeve.

 

[Ice]

He WAS in it. He was the baby!

 

[Bass]

Man, that just doesn't count.

 

[Nurhachi]

Who wants to read about a baby? Unless of course, its Cads. Then it would be very "entertaining" (the horror, the horror)

 

[Ice]

Yeah huh! You said you were mad because Tony wasn't in the issue. But he was. He was the baby. His mother's name is Maria. The doctor that was pregnant was named Maria. So that makes Tony the baby in the mother, making him in the comic.




SO BOO-YA!

SO BOO-YA!

Does it show the mother "making him" :twisted:

Iron Man is being given an origin so we can know what went on in his life before the Ultimates.

The problem with that is: I would have prefered ordinary, real-life stuff happening in Tony's life before he made his armour. It would have made the character more interestng to me.

But you're right, UltimateE, I shouldn't critizise the series before I've read it. :blush:

Don't forget the series isn't over yet. So we'll see what he does next.

You've made a powerful enemy today, old friend...

You've made a powerful enemy today, old friend...

I thought I was already on your list...?

 

[Bass]

:sure: :arrgh:

You win this round...

I had to read through this more than a couple of times to actually appreciate it for what it is. It's decent. I would have enjoyed it more if Card's pacing had been better (by my standards). It's not anything close to Card's other work, nor should I have expected it to. He's basically writing another story 'bout smart kids. It's prolly like homework for him. IMO next to the pacing, there was a lack of any real character development and just a little too much focus on the science of Iron Man. I like the science but there was just too much for 1 issue. All that being said, I'll pick up the 2nd issue as this one is just a set-up to bigger, hopefully better things.

 

[Guijllons]

i liked the pacing, kinda reminded me of those one issue sci-fi comics that would pop up in the 70's. It certainly did have a rather different feel to the rest of the Ultimate books, quirkier I guess I'd call it, which I feel suits Tony Stark nicely. And i will def be getting issue 2.

 

[TheManWithoutFear]

we don't know that yet...they havn't done anything with tony. Only tell us how he got his tumor. nothing about his childhood or anything

Agreed. There is a letters page for this right? I hope people ask about what exactly Tony is qualified as (Human/mutant/other) and something is brought up about the team-ups.

It was just Nick Lowe (Line editor) telling the creative team of the book.

 

[ProjectX2]

E, Wasn't it that fast though. It was so odd there wasn't much action to it but it seemed like so much was going on and I felt like I stepped off a rollercoaster when I was done reading. If that's Card's writing style... I think we should be seeing more of him.

Yep, let's all point and laugh, children.

 

[Doc Comic]

-Points and laughs-

It's funny because we had no idea what the hell we were in for.

 

[Ice]

So this is all MWF's fault....

Suddenly a lot of people on his "team" will be leaaaaving him.

Screw you guys... I'm going home.
