So I read the first 250 issues of Iron Man. You guys said that

Keep going on Iron Man, the John Byrne written issues are fantastic

>Painted on armor

To this day, it will always be a bit of a pet peeve of mine whenever I see that, especially when it's meant to be an iron suit of armor and not some medieval chain-armor or something.

I mean, I understand why they went with it back in the early days, but it will always look a bit dumb to me. He's suppose to be wearing armor, not a zero suit.

Gotta make sure your armor shows off your super huge biceps.

The yellow parts aren't armor, just the red parts. I don't think he got a full armor suit until Ellis

>>82508536
Bob Layton's theory on the armor is that the more advanced it get the less it should look like a bulky metal type-thing. Like the ultimate evolution of the armor would look something like the Silver Surfer.

That makes sense but the evolution of IM's armor straight up goes against that.

It WAS going in that direction up until the Silver Centurion.

But the Silver Centurion is such a GOAT armor.

>Ultimate Iron Man? I heard it's pretty good.

The book itself was crap but he was great in other stories in the Ultimate universe

Early Iron Man is the tits. Only neo/co/ hates it.

The idea was that it was some kind of metallic fabric that turned to armor once a current connected to it

I've been slowly reading all of marvel chronologically, I don't read everything just what interests me, and iron man is probably what I've read the least of. The villains are shit, the characters are uninteresting, I just don't care. I like even Daredevil more and I don't care much about him.

The only books I've read all of are Spider-Man and FF, everything else I just skim/read if there's a cool villain, though I am thinking of going back and reading large blocks of Thor and Dr. Strange.
