When characters from books are butchered, it annoys the hell out of people, and rarely does anyone get the 'it's just a book, who cares' response to it. That's usually the order of the day for comic characters. Just odd.

That tiny bit of OCD in me wants to know every story from the beginning - the VERY beginning. Sadly I was not born early enough to experience that. And now I don't know where to start. Ah, well. :3 I'll just experience it vicariously through webcomics like yours, I suppose! Thanks for putting this out there!

Have you read "Evil Inc."? The idea is quite similar and they even had a few woe-of-the-graphic-designer plotlines! Now I have to see which one of you came first. ….. Have you read “Evil Inc.”?

I was actually OK with the revision on film because I thought it "worked" fo their purposes. ALTHOUGH.... I understand how, as a fan of a character, it's disappointing when the "real" version isn't realized in mass media. LOL, thanks for your thoughts!

I picture James Hong as the voice of the Mad Mongol. (Or Frank Welker using his Fat Guy voice from "Garfield's Feline Fantasies".)

I hope they are OK with the upcoming Major USA 2 film, because if he hated this his head might explode seeing that one next year!

Get warmed up, Im the fanboy. My reasoning is pretty straightforward: You've heard a hero is gauged by the quality of his nemesis. Cap got red skull, Spidey got Doc Ock and Goblin, Hulk got Abomination and Leader, and Supes got Luther, and Bats got Ras Al Ghul and Joker. Somehow, with Iron man, there is this inverted-blind spot, I dont know. There seems to be a lot of leeway here as its the one who opened up the marvel projects. Whiplash, which even the COMIC couldnt help out, -and gave up on-, gets Mickey Rourke, and is suddenly -not- retarded, And Mandarin, easily Tonys Red Skull, is now a media joke. Thats why fanboys are irked, because that comes back on shell head. For everyone who never heard of the comic, absolutely, the movies great entertainment, but please, dont take what you saw there and expect to find it in the comic. The comic had -good- storylines. Sure there was crazy ones, but hey, Obviously 'Extremis' and 'The five nightmares' were both strong influences in this movie. As opposed to combining them both, and then mixing in everything else you had leftover in the spice rack.. (Man Things wife? Really?-REALLY-?) Just keep it to a good story. I remember when it was that simple. -sigh- Anywho. (I think that goes there..) Im that guy.
