DIRECTOR OF SHIELD | The Fall Of The Invincible Iron Man 

Owen likes comics and comicpop are also great comic channels

Wait matt draper stop covering comics why

@daniel adusei he didn't he's just been doing other topics that interest him lately like different film eras of Godzilla and other kaijus and he just put out a video on the 1990 night of the living dead reboot thing

@@joeclarke7982 thanks

@daniel adusei I'm sure he'll cover comic runs that interest him bur his videos cover a wide array of topics

Absolutely! I've even covered a few myself. My personal favorites are the Michelinie/Layton/JRjr run, which leads into Dennis O'Neil and Luke McDonnell's series, then Kurt Busiek and Sean Chen's, then Director of SHIELD, Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca's, and most recently Christopher Cantwell and Cafu's Books of Korvac

Thanks so much, I’m glad to hear it! Iron man has always been a favorite of mine so I’d definitely say pick up a trade or two if you’re interested

@For Every Kind of Geek I read the first volume of Fractions run years ago and Demon in a Bottle in college, which were great and if I had more free time I would've gotten my hands on some more. Now I definitely will :)

I will say Temujin actually gets a mention in the series. But yeah, it felt like from Extremis a lot of Iron Man's broader history got ignored in favor of a more grounded approach. I get it, but there are ways to make that work.

Oh I think it's executed really well, I just don't know if I connect with the thematic underpinning. I personally read this as a story made to confront America's zeal in the war on terror, so putting it all on the Mandarin feels like a step back instead if digging into why it was a mistake in the first place. I get the motivation to give a sympathetic take too, especially post-civil-war, but I'd argue doing that undercuts some of the commentary that's being made. To me, it's an interesting case of two very strong concepts not quite gelling together. I still love the Knaufs' voice on this character, though. They have an incredible way with character and dialogue and I wished they'd stayed on to develop this era a little more.

I see where you coming from, but I think that's why Knaufs had scene as intense as Tony interrogating secretary. The guy is just full of crap with or without Mandarin, who's just a guy on the inside. The story doesn't even go into "it was all foreigners", it instead shows how easy it's for America to turn a blind eye on something as awful as this purely because that's something they're doing themselves in the name of greater good. I guess it all comes down to difference in perspective which is fair, I respect that. I would love Knaufs more too, same with Stuart Moore tbh. The latter had another great Iron Man story with similar themes and tone in the first issue of anthology series 'Breaking into comics the Marvel way', I highly recommend it if you didn't read it and would like more of that era's style Iron Man. Also would love to see you make a video on Kaminski and/or Grell and Mantlo runs, one of my favorites, especially Kaminski that's imo the best Iron Man has been and Grell who's run is very underrated and surprisingly grounded take on the character.

maybe some day. not today tho

@@ForEveryKindofGeek So you're saying there's a chance

Thanks!

No hard-set plans on that yet, but I'll add it to the list!
