Today's news and jokes



"I Am Iron Man" by Dotun Akande and Murewa Ayodele is great

First time in ages I really enjoyed a comic book. No overarching plot, but otherwise it reminded me a lot of Planetary in the way each issue told a high concept standalone scifi story at a breakneck pace and set during a different period in Iron Man's life, and the creators let the fabulous art take center stage instead of overwhelming with dialog. I read the series on Hoopla, but enjoyed it so much I will pick up the floppies (and will definitely seek out more by the creators).
