Those tools of the trade allow us to see and dream bigger with "reality" thwarted by a well-supported suspension of disbelief.Michael Lapinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03212539351021166409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781642913058207208.post-14557431454593942292010-03-06T15:32:37.605-05:002010-03-06T15:32:37.605-05:00I really like Fraction but I tend to really not li...I really like Fraction but I tend to really not like Iron Man comics so I never got around to reading this.<br /><br />I agree though, great post, and I'll definitely give the series a look now.Jefhttp://www.theashcan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781642913058207208.post-3359811581366420052010-03-06T00:19:11.772-05:002010-03-06T00:19:11.772-05:00I think what's especially interesting about th...I think what's especially interesting about that, besides it being a really hilarious/stupid/awesome way to retcon Civil War, is that it was the thing Fraction couldn't get behind. Like, if you read the series, he's on Stark's side but even with Civil War, it's like, Stark is gonna have to come to grips with the fact that he fucked up.brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05331746353766612879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781642913058207208.post-20904617624671272342010-03-05T10:50:09.713-05:002010-03-05T10:50:09.713-05:00SPOILER ALERT
