From Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie with Mike Norton, this is not the Young Avengers we all remember.
Now that the first arc of Kieron Gillen’s current run of Marvel NOW’s Iron Man is complete, I’d like to take a moment to discuss that. As I did with Captain Marvel into the first few issues of its current run, sometimes it’s nice to slow down and really dig into a title. When you review month-to-month, and sometimes bimonthly in this case, it can be difficult to really step back and judge a series on its merits and intentions, strengths and weaknesses. With a title like this one, which has received its fair share of criticism so far, it can be equally difficult to be objective when your little fangirl heart is weighed down by expectation, and you fear your reviews might be getting colored by all the Greg Land jokes. So setting all of that aside, let’s talk about Tony Stark.

Having lunch and coffee with a very dear friend of mine recently, she and I had a very interesting conversation about -- what else? -- superheroes. Now, for the record, I'm a staunch Marvel stan since 1993 and she has loyalties on both sides of the comic book aisle, but we can both heartily agree that our love for Captain America is strong, undying, and probably a little creepy. (You see these stars in my eyes? This crying bald eagle reflected in my single perfect tear? I regret nothing.) Over margaritas and vegetarian enchiladas by way of New Mexico, we discussed all things Cap: From his humble beginnings as a World War II propaganda figure, to his current iteration on-screen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, throwing shade at Robert Downey, Jr. Basically? It was awesome. But more than that, it kind of reminded me why this character is so important to me, not just as an avid comic fan but as a writer. Hell, maybe just as a person.
