Avengers # 9 Preview
What can I say? Didn't I tell you, or didn't I tell you...of course it's all Tony's fault.
Tony: Fuck, what did I do now?
Inoshi: The Illuminati is all pinned on you...
Tony: .....so wait, Reed, Strange, Prof. X, and Namor get a free pass?
Inoshi: Looks like it - and apparently the US blames you for Osborn too...
Tony: The guy THEY decided to replace me with is MY fault too?
Inoshi: yes, don't you know...everything you do is evil - the end.
Tony: I am not surprised any more...I think I've given up a long time ago...so...I "betray" the team in #12 I'm responsible for the Ultron Holocaust...did I miss anything else?
Inoshi: Nope - I think that's currently up to date...
So...what can I say that I haven't said beforehand? I think at this point, Tony exists to make other characters look good. I am going to try and give Bendis the benefit of the doubt here -- at the end of the arc Tony better F***ING save everyone and be the GOD DAMN HERO HE WAS CREATED TO BE!!! Ugh...I'm just depressed...at least we have EMHs [rubs head]
Saaaaah - it's gotta being embarrassing being dressed down in front of ALL the Avengers teams by Steve. You know what Tony - just quit...at the end of this go "You're right, Steve, I'm not an Avenger..." and fly away. Technically - they can't make you join the Avengers so there you go - back to being independent...
