Why was this so perfect /co/?

>>91639115
No one bothered reading the stuff after Siege and seeing how Fraction turned to shit.

>>91639192
I liked everything, up until the end. Even the Fear Itself Tie-Ins were good.

Wish they would finish the omnibuses for this series. Most of the TPBs and HCs are out of print.

>Fraction's Iron Man

I thoroughly enjoyed this series, even if Larroca's art is basically ripped from the film at times. I guess I just like how it played with the core elements of Iron Man and his continuity/mythos without feeling like it was retreading anything.

>>91639115

I don't understand what you mean.

Did you actually LIKE Fraction's abysmal run?

from the very start of his run, it was retardedly stupid.

trying to claim anything Fraction did with Iron Man was good, let alone "PERFECT" is a show of idiocy.

storytime his entire run, I dare you.

>anything marvel made
>good

Superior run coming through

>Actually deals with Civil War and the shit Tony's pulled doesn't just hide it under the rug with a retarded mindwipe storyline.

Director of SHIELD was a great run and there hasn't been a run since that has come close to how good that was.

>>91639115
I liked Fraction's run, but it's nowhere near perfect,and downright bad at times

>>91639115

I enjoyed it but the forced mindwipe arc was convoluted just to absolve Tony of his role in Civil War. But I did like the final issue where a mentally retarded Tony faced off against Osborne in his first suit.

>from the very start of his run, it was retardedly stupid.

...I HATE Fraction's run, but the very first arc was good.

>>91641077

And, interestingly, the first arc was shite.

>convoluted

Noooo shit.

Fucking ridiculous. Too bad, because the story per se was not.

No, come on. Fraction has squatted out some real stinkers over the years, but when he's on his game his stuff is really good. I think that his Invincible Iron Man run is one of those moments where, like with Hawkeye, he knocked it out of the park. I'm not defending his overall body of work since he can be very inconsistent, but I will defend this specific run as one of the better Iron Man ones I've read.

Astonishing. I am an almost-life-long Iron Fan and I hated his run with the passion of a thousand exploding arc generators.

The pacing. The drawing out of nothing. The pretending it all happened in a sort of mini-Fractionverse where the Avengers didn't exist. The endless agonizing. Tony being an ineffectual little tit. Endless plot points going fucking nowhere. The mischaracterization. The dialog, dear god.

It was sheer torture. Four and a half years of torture.

Fraction gave Iron Man two good things: Ezekiel Stane and the Bleeding Edge armor. And he also ruined both of them, while shitting on almost every aspect of the franchise he didn't invent as well.
