Wrong thread, this one's for the comic book crossover.

Infamous Iron Man with Dr Doom in an Iron Man suit seems kind of dumb but could have potential if it was really weird
but it's going to be written by Bendis :(

So it's basically the same idea as Superior Spider-Man?

No, this one is infamous and Iron Man, while the other was superior and Spider-Man.

Also it presumably won't involve Dr. Doom inside Iron Man's body. Unless it does and then I imagine it will have to be a MAX title.

Wait, so Doctor Doom got married to Pepper Potts?

Don't be silly, Pepper Potts isn't going to get married again in this lifetime. Any romantic interest for her has to be unattainable or dead.

I was riffing on Otto Octavius getting married to and having rampant (well, as rampant as pensioners get) sex with Aunt May, which Peter experienced and totally lived through when they did the mind swap/meld thing.

Marvel sold more than 381,000 copies of Civil War II #1 to retailers in June, well ahead of Civil War #1 back in May 2006, which sold more than 260,000 copies in its first month. Granted, the scope of that hit was a surprise back then — the third issue outsold the first — and Marvel's summer event last year, Secret Wars, launched with 527,000 copies. On the other hand, that issue last year was a dollar cheaper. At $5.99, Civil War II #1 brought in more than $2.28 million at full retail, more than double what the second place title made.

Wait what, single issues can cost $5.99 now? Why does anyone buy those anymore, instead of just opting for the trade? (Or the digital option.)

Because some of us are stupid idiots, okay, Tuomas? I can't help who I am, but I at least hope that my existence can serve as a warning to others.

I don't buy floppies any more, but I do miss that weekly comic shop visit to pick up the new books, and I guess there are still some readers who can't let go of that experience.

I buy them monthly (well, when WicDiv comes out) - it's nice to do so but always eye-widening at the till (I'll have also picked up trades, because I'm like that).

Eye-widening, wallet shrinking
