About Iron Man... the opinion was expressed recently that Rhodes should stay
on as iron man... that he does a good job at it... i only have one thing to
say to that... BULLHOOEY!!!!!! Tony is the one and only iron man for my
money... who has the brains? Tony. Who has the experience? Tony. Who's
paid the mandatory hero's dues for it (dead friends & relatives, etc.)?????
Tony. Tony is the only iron man for the same reason that hal jordan is the
only green lantern... let me go on record as predicting right now that the
ring will be back in hal's hands inside of 24 issues...
Here's to traditions...

I have one problem with Hal Jordon not as Green Lantern, but rather for the way he looks. You see Green Lantern was the first comic that I ever read that was drawn by Gil Kane. Now I don't know how many people have noticed, but EVERY one that Gil draws looks like his version of Hal Jordon. I have seen "Hal Jordon" change into a Spider-man costume, I have seen "Hal Jordon" dye his hair blue (my brother did the same thing as a child, boy was Mom livid!) and put on a Superman costume. I am sick of seeing "Hal" in all these places. Besides if Gil's people really existed as they look when he draws them the can opener business would fold, people would just open cans with their knees, elbows, or even calfs! As for Iron Man, I have to agree that Tony IS Iron Man. Jim is an interesting substitute, but I always enjoyed Tony as Iron Man. I have been enjoying the story line in Iron Man lately and am looking forward to how it resolves itself. By the by what is everyone's opinion of why no one has noticed that there is a new Iron Man? I mean even if the mask did muffle voices so that Tony and Jims voices sounded simmilarly, surely commonly used expressions, intonations and other personal ways of speaking should have tipped those people that KNEW Shellhead that someone new was on the scene.

Why has no one noticed the new Iron Man? Obviously these are the same people who fail to notice that Robin is now shorter, younger, and dumber than he was before! -- eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!eric

One thing about the new Robin (sounds like a Madison Ave ad, doesn't it? NEW IMPROVED ROBIN! Anyway, is Jason Todd going to go through the rest of his life with dyed hair? I mean he was a blonde wench first we say him, now no one is bothered by the fact that Jason is running around with BLUE hair. I always knew that Bruce Wayne was kinky but... OZ seismo!rlgvax!oz
