Lets talk Iron Man comics in this thread

[OrangeNemesis]

Never really read or got into Iron Man as a kid so im not familiar with alot of the story arcs, but id like to start putting together some good Iron Man runs to collect. Its still a fairly cheap series to get back issues on so i wanna give it a whirl...

 

where should i start?

[A-DONIS]

why?

[MatterEaterLad]

The run by Bob Layton and David Michelinie from #116-154 is one of my favs.

[AmazingComics413]

Iron Man's secret identity is actually Steve Borock.

why?

 

I want something new to collect and read seems like the plausible answer....

Fine place to start (thumbs u

 

I'm not at all a fan of the earlier issues. George Tuska art makes me

[newshane]

Would be cheaper to start with a trade paperback. I found this after a quick search on eBay .

 

If you want to "collect" then I'd focus on key issues:

 

Iron Man 1

Iron Man 55

Iron Man 118

Iron Man 128

Iron Man 170

Iron Man 282

 

I'm sure I'm missing a few, but those are all important.

 

Good luck!

Could we please stop with this already? It's too old now to be funny anymore.

Tales of Suspense #39.

[RockMyAmadeus]

Iron Man #169 starts off an EXCELLENT arc that results in Jim Rhodes becoming Iron Man for a while, and is now quite overlooked. #169-200 are exceptionally good issues.

 

Also...Armor Wars from #225-232 are among the best not yet mentioned.

Steve Borock will never be too old to be funny.

Too old?? It was two days ago

Yeah - but it seems like an eternity.

Funny...Iron Man/ToS have always been my main comics, but when I think of my favorite stories, none of them involve him.

This is the CGC board's version of:

 

 

No matter how sick of it everyone is, someone, somewhere is going to still think it's HIGH-larious.

Those same people were recorded for the "laugh tracks" on Friends.

Borock can make two days seem like two minutes

I should re-read those. Haven't even looked at them since the 80s. I remember being quite underwhelmed by the Luke McDonnell artwork. Spoiled after Romita Jr/Layton stuff

[FineCollector]

I'm a Gene Colan fan, so Tales of Suspense is a given for me. 67-99 should be relatively inexpensive. The unfortunate side effect is that reading these will also make you a Captain America fan
