I've been looking through past entries, for tl;dr on Iron Man, because I'm trying to synthesize some of my WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN ideas about the character into a post about movie vs. comic Tony. There's so much in the comments, though, agh. For my own reference, my most useful, non-review Tony-related posts:

In Extremis and in Execute Program: Tony, Iron Man and war

Steve/America/Tony, the unspoken OT3 of the Steve/Tony ship: the American dream, the military industrial complex, and heroism

Carol's drinking: Carol, alcoholism, military culture and bad writing

And this week's some thoughts on movie Tony.


And related, I've decided to (fully, properly) read Fraction's IIM, (in order to make smarter comments about what Marvel's doing with the character these days), and I need your help. Basically, I need strategies to get through a book I know I'm going to be immensely annoyed by.

Is the solution alcohol? Selective reading? Issue by issue rant posts? Help me flist, I can't do it alone.

I suggest setting each issue on fire once you've finished reading it. Alternatively, if you don't want to print your copies obtained from a totally legitimate source out, write "Matt Fraction's career" on the side of a black candle and burn it while you read each issue.

ETA: seanchai suggests combining your suggested coping strategies and doing drunken rant posts, which is probably more effective than trying to hex his career so that he'll be pulled off the title, since that's sadly unlikely to work.
