I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS! Tony is starting to remember alot of things and I know exactly how he felt when he remembered the crossing and teenage Tony!

[Vagabond]

...must ignore Teen Tony panel, if we don't acknowledge it, it has no power over us...

Ahem. Those last two pages are certainly the most interesting. Is there any difference between this and the regular #500 issue or is the .1 only tagged onto some copies so buyers can tell whens a "good jumping on point"?

Yes. This is a self contained story. It's not the same as Invincible Iron Man #500 and it will be important to future storylines.

So, teen Tony is canon?

I so wish I could get past the dull flat art to read this series....

So, teen Tony is canon?

Yes, in so far as it was wiped with Onslaught and the Tony who came back was Franklin Richards' (read as editorial) reincarnation/merge of the Tonys.

The 'point one' thing is a little silly but heck it is an extra issue and at a cheaper price if they are still keeping to the original rollout.

An CBR item also had this:

"Gabriel said that it should be clear simply from numbering progression -- 7, 7.1, 8 -- that each was a different issue that followed a linear storyline."

Looking forward to that upcoming issue with Doc Ock!

Whoa, is Larocca doing something different with the inks? Because his art looks significantly different.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Some panels, especially the Modern Tony ones look real Salvador, with the purple caterpillar lips and all, but some look like someone else. At any rate I'm sold, and I frankly kinda hope these pages do not appear with dialogue, because I don't think any is needed. A terrific silent recap of Tony's entire career as a bizarre robot-man.

Has anybody seen this? I am looking at pages 6 and 7 and I can hardly recognize the events they are portraying. Is that Pepper sunning on the beach? Is that Spy Masters face in one panel. The other stuff, who knows.

But it looks like a recap of past events in IM's life, mostly.

Why have people in the biz gone to presenting everything as being so frozen? With the exception of Tony going out the window (and a couple of the sixth size 'fight' panels) this entire comic is a series of frozen panels. It's almost a panel sized cover gallery.

I'll need to flip this in store and get a sense of the dialogue before I commit. I assume this will be the norm across the .1 books since they were produced "out of schedule."

[Jason Abbadon]

Loved the flashback to the (near fatal) fight with Firepower.

There's a villian we need to see again- SO much better than that lameass Detroit Steel.

[TonyStark1012]

The last part really looks interesting! Stane working on something while The Mandarin sits back smiling. That has bad news written for Tony all over it!
