Or – “These Happy Days Are Yours And Mine…” These days, Marvel’s output is a real crapshoot. Sometimes, I read their solicitations with a kind of mind-numbing shock, stunned to the core at the things they think will make good stories. Other times, I feel there’s still a deep affection for comics, comic history, and the untapped potential of characters previously written off as third stringers.

Fascinating characters, excellent writers, plotlines…

This is an origin story, and as the trailer lets on, we will see Stark don various Iron Man suits. Watch the trailer here (link). It looks like there is a great deal of celshaded 3D Animation in the movie, which if not done tastefully will really detract from the overall story. As this is an origin story, I’m interested to see if…
