Iron Man #1 - Looking Forward



Writer: Kurt Busiek
Penciler: Sean Chen

Tony attempts to re-establish his life and regain control of his company after returning from the handwave handwave something something dead let's never discuss the early 90s again. Unfortunately, someone is determined to stop him. Very determined.

We're also introduced to Sunset Bain, get re-introduced to Morgan Stark, and witness Tony turning down a hot date in order to go hang out at a construction site and commune with iron girders.

There's an awful lot of handwaving on the timeline in this issue. First Tony was declared dead, and without a body, that would take years. Then his will had to go through probate court; that would take months. Then it had to un-go through probate court when he turns up alive, which would take more months. During all this, a skyscraper is built, auctioned off (??!), and customized.

Then he throws a an elaborate party for five hundred of his closest associates, something that would take weeks of preparation, assuming you could hire a caterer on short notice.

All of this takes place between the end of Iron Man Volume 2 and the beginning of Iron Man Volume 3. Marvel time is so obliging. *g*
