COMICS: First Look At Ales Kot's IRON PATRIOT #1

oh ya dat shit is awesome he kicked ass in ironman 3 this comic is gonna be da bomb cant wait #ironman3 #ironman #ironpatriot #marvel #comics #comicbookmovie

what on earth is this????

Are people still going to try and deny that Marvel doesn't whore out to the movies to the point where's it's embarrassing or painful?

I thought it was great when Osborn made himself the Iron Patriot. Total mockery of Iron Man AND Captain America. Now we're just getting stupid.

Also, when did Rhodey get rebuilt? I thought he was more or less a cyborg these days...

They always get crap artists and writers on this title.

Art looks awful.

I love Ironman's new black suit... but I cant get into this

Why are people still going to harp on Marvel using their comics as advertising for their movies?

It's the way they do business, it's working, don't buy and read the comics if you don't agree. Very simple. Marvel has top market share almost every month. Something they are doing is working.

If DC had a movie universe, they'd be doing the same thing. Cliff Chiang's wildly popular Wonder Woman series is ending this year. Let's see if the new Wonder Woman is drawn in Gal Gadot's likeness. My money is on yes.

When your movies are cracking a billion dollars, yes, you cater to your cinematic universe. From all that we've read so far, it appears that James Rhodes will be a major player in the future of the MCU. Why not do everything you can to get his name out there? Iron Man wears more than one armor, why can't Rhodey utilize War Machine and Iron Patriot?

Marvel is a business, not your personal storytellers.. If you don't like it, do better.

Pass, all Ironman stuff is shit

BIGGER POINT...Sorry can't agree. Marvel places the stories where they work best for them, not for you. Why put the stories in the ultimate universe when people (even the complainers) will still buy the comics in the main line? Oh, and let's not forget that when Marvel makes the movies and incorporates elements from the ultimate universe, you all complain that they are straying away from the character. Also, i'm not sure how my acceptance a company's business decisions makes me ADD, or if you even understand what that means, but nice one! You're super cool!!!

MINOR POINT...While I agree that an increased female presence would bring more females into the theatre, I can't agree with your assessment that they would be put into skimpy costumes is completely absurd. Studios are not trying to catch heat for the inappropriate portrayal of women on screen. The PR nightmare could hurt the studios profit..And that's what it's about. So I completely understand why the companies are taking their time to put these characters on screen.

You would say that Marvel is ruining comics with their movie influences. I would say people like you are holding back the genre as a whole. Good thing we all are entitled to our own opinions, as is Marvel.

This looks super cool.

Good point ^^^

In my mind, Norman Osborn will always be the one true Iron Patriot. Say what you will about Secret Invasion, I thought Dark Reign was a pretty good arc in Marvel comics. The best thing about it was Norman Osborn's perversion of Captain America and Iron Man in a 616 universe that was lacking both in one way or another. This Iron Patriot series (though it could be great) is clearly just Marvel cashing in on name recognition from it's cinematic universe.

So, was Rhodey Iron Patriot prior to Iron Man 3? Or is this another instance of publishers making the comics more like the movies?
