With a new movie on the horizon, Marvel's delivering a double dose of Iron Man this year. Pick your flavor, either mainstream or cosmic with Matt Fraction and John Romita Jr.'s Iron Man/Thor or Paul Tobin and Craig Rousseau's Iron Man: Supernova.
Here's a look at Iron Man / Thor:

Interested in the Iron Man/Thor cause I want to see how Fraction is going to handle the character of Thor. Sure he did those great one-shots, but they are nothing like the Thor in the current timeline. Lots of exposition in that comic though, bit of a problem there.
Is Iron Man riding an invisible jetpack in that first image? Or just taking a mid-flight dump? Oh JRJr., your success never ceases to amaze me.
@TNC: Exposition is kind of the point of these books. They are primarily meant for people who have never read these books before, not the people reading every week.
@WheelHands – John Romita Jr. rules. Maybe not as much as his dad, but he is still a great story teller.
@AmirCat: I couldn’t disagree more. But I’m glad he makes you happy.
I’ll grant you that his panel-to-panel isn’t terrible, but in my opinion his covers are almost always stale and boring. Not every interior artist should do covers, and vice versa. There has to be a reason that he’s beloved by fanboys everywhere (besides his last name), I just don’t know what it is. I’m not ignorant enough to say that the man is without skill. He’s just not for me.
@WheelHands – That’s fair, I understand. 🙂
Funny, john romita jr.’s iron man looks like it doesn’t have any mobility.
@conor: I get that most of them are, but it still feels like a lot for just an FCBD issue.
There’s an Ape for That is officially my favorite story title ever.
are the books still free after today? not sure I can make it out…
@Onic: If your LCS charges for these I’d be mighty surprised.
@JumpingJupiter
Stores often charge for them after FCBD. I remember Blackest Night #0’s going a good $6 on eBay when Blackest Night was in full hype mode.
I really enjoyed Iron Man/Thor. Fun story, but I hope it’s not considered to be in continuity due to the ungodly violence the villians wreaked upon Earth. Nice, nice art too. Just a fine book all around.
