Tony Stark really IS that messed up. Wow.

brainofckKnowing how the fangirls like to make a woobie and milk the angst, I really did not expect Tony Stark to be quite this damaged. Even reading about the couple of suicidal story arcs didn't prepare me for actually reading the source material. For those keeping track - I read Civil War and Iron Man: Civil War, last week, and now I have read Extremis. Execute Program is coming up. (I'm a little out of order, obviously.)
Next purchases will probably be to finish Iron Man Vol. 4, and prod the relevant Avengers and Captain America titles to fill in missing Civil War material - basically, I'd like to have the assasination of Captain America.
After that, I think I'll just go forward chronologically, despitegreen_grrl's >>>:-( regarding Matt Fraction.
AG33 seems to be enjoying. The Barbarian wants to get in on the action, too, but Extremis is too scary for her, I think. She muscled in on #1, which wasn't too bad (just skipped a couple of pages), and I thought she would find it simply boring, but no, she was totally up for more. Hmmm. If I completely skip #2, she may be able to read the others. Will look at it again.
In other Avengers silliness, I put this Captain America wall onto Miss Lemon, and I think The Barbarian appreciates him as much as I do. I had already snagged this for my work computer.
Skipping back though this journal, I see that I never mentioned my new toy! My parents acquired a Dell Inspirion Mini a while back that they decided they were never going to use and handed off to me when I picked the kids up from NC! I have named her Miss Lemon, after Poirot's amazing secretary. When I get Physty's replacement (yes, my backup drive has died - I cross my fingers I will actually get one more boot out of it, but pretty much dead), I'm naming her Ms. Potts. Just so you know. Though Husband thought I should use Hastings.
