Loved the interview. I thought the first 5 issues were meh, but I have really high hopes for this arc. I think Tony going and having adventures in space has the chance to be pretty damn epic. Looking forward to Tony's future and him joining the Guardians of the Galaxy. Can't wait for the issue.

As much fun as we'll have with Tony a part of the Guardians, it really would have been something special had Gillen been able to follow through with his plans for a hard science fiction style story. I can only imagine how awesome that would have been. Hopefully he can carry some of those original ideas with him moving forward.

Yeah. I think it would have been cool to see his original take, but as you said. Hopefully he put some of those ideas in this one.

I will be getting this arc simply for Death's Head.

The guy fills a niche in the Marvel universe that isn't filled and will snag Transformers fans too. And he's just a fun character. Hear that, Marvel?

MOAR DEATH'S HEAD.

Agreed. Always loved him. Never liked Death's Head 2. He couldn't touch the original in my eyes.

My thoughts on DHII exactly. I probably would have liked Death's Head II more if he... you know... had nothing to do with Death's Head

LOVE the new series! JUST TAKE MY DAMN MONEY!!!!!!!

So great that Death's Head is returning - I see he's in Avenging Spider-man 17 too. Now with the news of a *spoilers* planet hulk movie (DH units were in this) and stark likely going into the GotG film (repeating the comics) wouldn't it be great if there was some appearance?

**Monty_Cristo** · 02-05-2013, 04:09 PM

just curious. why do people like Deathshead? he sort of looks like a looney tunes character, to me. :shrugs:

**c'thulhu** · 02-05-2013, 04:17 PM

He has tusks, a cool hand trick & dry humour. He's deadly, ruthless and a bounty-hunter sorry a freelance peacekeeping agent. Whats not to like, yes?

**Paladin King** · 02-05-2013, 07:57 PM

I enjoy the panel where Tony clearly misses that headbutt. Apparently, Greg Land lacks proper depth perception.

**Mr. Holmes** · 02-05-2013, 09:43 PM

I wanted to like this book, but it had 3.99 and Greg Land going agains it, and Gillen's writing wasn't wowing me enough to counter those.

Hopefully it reads good in trade.
