Well, I'd hoped to have a review of Iron Man issue 3 up by now, but no such luck. The book appears to have been delayed, possibly until April I'm told. I guess I should catch up on Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the interim.
Update: Ok, just finished all six issues currently available. Why isn't this guy writing the Avengers?
Iron Man - Extremis parts 1 and 2, Written by Warren Ellis, Illustrated by Adi Granov
Just wrapped up the first two installments of Warren Ellis and Adi Granov's new Iron Man. Honestly I wasn't exactly looking forward to this. Not because Ellis isn't a good writer. He's generally excellent, but lately, between Avengers Disassembled at Marvel and Identity Crisis at DC, I was starting to get just a little annoyed with comics. Identity Crisis was the best written bad comic I've seen in a while, and I am sick unto death of the "blow the team to smithereens/have a hero go bonkers/kill some characters in a shocking way/start the numbering over" sales boost plot. After watching Marvel mangle the Avengers, I was half expecting a similar treatment for Iron Man.
My handy-dandy Full Thrust Demo Record Sheet can be found here. The sheet isn't designed to show you how to play Full Thrust on its own. It's to provide a player with all the info they'll need during a simple cinematic movement game without having to consult the rules.
For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, Full Thrust is an excellent set of minatures rules for starship combat published by Ground Zero Games. There is extensive web support by fans and even a play by e-mail version of the game called FTJava.
