Doc Ock proves his worth by clanking his arms against the real Iron Man's metal suit, ruining his prank and sending him on a depressive downward spiral. I'm allowed to use 'clanking' as a verb because it's right there in print. And it's in the dictionary, go look if you don't believe me. Clank: to make a clank or series of clanks. There you go.
Repulsor rays? Iron Man can do it all. You'd think having a suit that could withstand the weight of six elephants or the planet Mars would be enough to grant you prestige and fortune, but here he is, one-upping himself time and time again.
The interesting thing about this book is seeing how famous some of the characters would go on to become when big budget comic movies became the in-thing. I doubt Iron Man would get such a starring role in this stupid thing nowadays when he's alongside such celebs as Wolverine, Spidey, and Magneto. Then again, maybe we'll get an Iron Man movie too, someday. Personally, I'm still not sold on the idea that they can do the same with The Incredible Hulk as they have Spider-Man and X-Men. Then again, I lost all credibility with my movie musings when I said that Clockstoppers was halfway decent. Just for the record, it's definitely not.
Just break the guy in half, Magneto. Don't hold back. C'mon, give us a little blood. I would've gone through with coloring the pages if Magneto gave me an excuse to break out the Indian Red crayon.
Look at Captain America - now he's smiling about the situation. First he's dancing as they're all being shot on, and now he's all shits and giggles while his pal is being tortured in midair. Some patriot. As a side note - up in the corner, Kang looks like he's trying to shit out a palm tree.
The heroes realize that there will not be any true winners in this battle - they'll all just keep fighting until everyone's dead. So, Spidey tells Cap to keep digging while he saves Iron Man. Now come on, I know Captain America's got an abnormally strong shield, but what are those walls made out of, particle board? They're in a posh futuristic tower in another dimension, not the furniture section of Wal-Mart.
Just four more pages to go. I wish I could tell you that this all accumulates into one terrific climax, but I don't want to get your hopes up. If it's any consolation, Doctor Doom grabs Magneto's ass on the next page.
