Joshua Williamson run utilising Iron Man’s rogues gallery
Listening to Williamson’s interview & podcasts on his upcoming run, here’s what ive learned:
Madame Masque will have a big role in the first 5 issues. MODOK and AIM will be working with her to create their own Tony Stark
@Phenomm_ 100%. Im loving Joshua’s run for those reasons you mentioned and the fact he isn’t going down the common Iron Man tropes (battle for his company, drinking) and is must focused making a fun Iron Man book with some mystery while using many Iron Man villains
There’s history through Chip Zdarsky’s works (SM: Life Story, Invaders, Daredevil) that he can’t write Tony
He mischaracterises Tony and portrays him a negative light. Never says anything about positive. To the point where fans have concluded he hates Tony, which is 100% valid
"Chip Zdarsky doesn't like Tony Stark" Tony Stark is not a REAL PERSON!! None of these characters are!! What's the point, what's the story, why are they written that way??
@mill_hunt@luiseatscomics There’s a difference between not initially liking a character and writing them poorly:
Denny O’Neil wrote a great Tony and as a result a good iron man run that fans like.
Zdarsky writes a poor Tony and as a result made fans not want to see him write that character anymore
@luiseatscomics Chip Zdarsky has an extensive track record writing Tony poorly that fans have concluded he hates him
It’s always as a antagonist, completely out of character- contradicting past writers and Tony’s character (DD) and in a negative light
He’s even aware of it so it’s not a agenda
However Zdarsky’s work just demonstrates he hates Tony. He portrays Tony as the antagonist, writes him out of character and can’t help shitting on him. Avengers Armageddon sounds the same
No Iron Man fan wants to read that.
Chip’s even aware of it so it’s not some random agenda
Now we could be completely wrong and he loves Tony however as a WRITER he’s failed to convince me of that.
There’s been many IM writers across decades- some has not understood the character or the run weren’t great but you could still acknowledge they like Tony
