Marvel seems to turn a blind eye to the successful runs of the past.

Is it internal politics? Egos? Lack of leadership?

Oh well.

Ok... So here it is;
I got the collector's edition when it came out on DVD... I just bought a PS3, is it worth upgrading to Blu-Ray? I will eventually I'm sure, but how different is it?

It also seems like they are waiting way to long to air this cartoon. It feels like something that should've began airing this Fall if they wanted to maintain the hype of the movie.

From what I read the PC version is just the PS2 version in a higher resolution. So I'm not sure about the better graphics thing.

Possibly... I didn't know that the PS2 version was different than the PS3. In any case, the graphics seem to gel better to me. Better framerate on the PC, and the graphics on the 3rd gen systems suck anyway. The 3-D landscapes all have a 2-D feel to them and the only good looking and detailed character is the actual Iron Man model.

On the PC version, all of the characters, models and backgrounds seem to fit in the same game and so it appears to me that overall the graphics are a better package on the PC version versus the PS3 or Xbox.

I've seen the trailer before and it really upset me, so I'm going to remain cynical for now.

Man, it really depresses me that Marvel wont return the calls of the man who gave us War Machine and one of the absolute best runs of Iron Man. Especially since WM's so popular and is almost a definite for the movies. If only they realized how many of us are clamoring to get you back on the book, Len. Then again I don't think Marvel has a habit of listening to the fans these days.

It's not fair really, they've got Michelinie and Layton doing specials I'd expect them to at least offer you something like that.

I'm really sad I didn't get to see your Mazinger Z Buster Iron Man.

Edit: Another thing I want to say to Len, and I hope I don't sound lame in saying it, is that your work was more important to me nostalgically than any other comic book. I was just a little kid when Iron Man 300 came out. It was one of my first comic books ever with the cool gold foil cover and all that. At that age I was already into science fiction and things with amazing unbelievable technology like Star Trek and I think Sci-Fi channel was showing "The New Adventures of Gigantor" around this time which I was also really into (Coincidentally Iron Man 28 in Japan). I must have read it front to back at least a million times. My copy is all bent and worthless now but I wouldn't trade it for the world. All of the different armors and characters that I didn't know made me want to fill in the blanks and I eventually went back and did that (though when the cartoon came out it ended up confusing me a lot. I don't think I grasped the idea of alternate universes yet). Iron Man quickly became my favorite super hero while all the kids at school were running around pretending to be Spidey and Wolverine.

In retrospect IM 300 has its problems and I could go on about them with a non-nostalgia jaded critique, but it'll always be one of the greatest Iron Man issues to me. It got me to read comics which lead me to read real books which probably ended up in inspiring me to go to college and become a writer myself. Sure I could've picked any comic book up off the rack that day but I picked yours and I'm glad I did. Anyway as a writer who's struggling for a job, any job, in the current economy I know I'd personally love to hear something like this from somebody whose read my work so I just thought I'd share.

He's destroying them so he doesn't confuse new movie fans of course.

Actually I didn't think much of it. As if there won't still be a hall of armors showing up again in the near future even though he was supposed to have destroyed it all. Because it's not like he hasn't done this before.

Me thinks Stark's drinking problems started earlier than we first suspected.

I think the point is that Doom is the only one who COULD rival Tony in powered armor design. If he wanted to. That's what's always made conflicts between Iron Man and Dr. Doom so special anyway.
