Review: Marvels – Eye Of The Camera #4 (0f 6)

Or – “What Iron Man Really Looks Like…”

Marv1.jpg

I have to go on record as being very unhappy with the current state of Iron Man’s armor.  I hate the “evening gloves and hip boots” thing, and I really dislike the almost-simian shape of the butt-ugly new mask.  I guess everybody has their favorite version of various characters, but mine will always be the red-and-silver, big shouldered Centurion armor from 1987 or so.  As drawn by Mark Bright and others, it was always visually impressive, and really made the character stand out among the rest of Marvels’ finest.  Some said it looked too much like a Transformer, but for me, it’s one of the few looks that Shellhead has ever had that actually LOOKS like armor…  What does this have to do with the issue I’m reviewing?

Not a thing, folks.  Welcome to Major Spoilers, restrooms are right over there…
