I think it was supposed to be 'shit' on. Newsrama is an all-ages site, and it censors profanity. Tony does get beat up all the time, and I have no problem with that. *g* What this guy is worried about, is an IM book that hates IM, and wants to punish him. I'd be more concerned about the latter.
I think he's also extrapolating from Fraction's characterization in The Order, and associating him with the hatahs. I guess the danger of wanting to 'punish' the character is that in order to make the story work, you may end up dumbing him down, making him less effective.
Also, by "Invicible Iron Man", do they mean Tony's main title (which I think is going by Iron Man: Director of SHIELD at the moment), or are they going to start a new title for him?
They're launching a second book. here's (http://schmevil.livejournal.com/101710.html) the original interview Fraction did. Basically they're going to run two 616 IM books, as well as UIM, MAIM, and maintain his appearances in MA, MAA, Ultimates, and every 616 book KNOWN TO MAN. Oh, and did I mention the crossovers?
As so many people are saying - he's the new Wolverine.
I want so much to be optimistic about Tony's future...
I have complete faith the Knauf/de la Rocca main book. If Fraction's book has even a fraction (ha!) of Director of SHIELD's unadulterated awesome, I will be a happy fan.
On that note, thank you for posting the She-Hulk scans!
I consider it my fannish obligation to spread the She-Hulk love. ;) And I was just really happy about the note, so of course I had to share.
