Last Page Of Invincible Iron Man #1 – Will It Break The Internet? (MASSIVE SPOILERS)
Today sees the launch of Invincible Iron Man #1, the debut title of Marvel's All-New All-Different relaunch, by Brian Bendis and David Marquez.
Much has been made in promotion of the final page of the comic which may be internet-breaking.
So we have new armor, maybe new girlfriend, new powers in the armor, and a whopper of a last page of the first issue—which is not going to be revealed here.
But now the comic in question is on sale, and it does give us a very strong idea of how Secret Wars may end. Spoilers… and context.
No seriously I mean it. Big spoilers….
Okay. a post Secret Wars Doctor Doom is not only no longer a god but he can't seem to keep his own country together.
Mind you he may have some other concerns.
Because this is what he now looks like
Two things. First, in the original Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars, Doom fixed his face to be perfect, before his Beyonder-based power was taken away from him. But in the new Secret Wars, that's the one thing he was unable to do. Did that change?
And secondly, that face isn't perfect. It has once scar across it. That was the Jack Kirby version of what Doctor Doom looked like under his mask… flipped to the other eye.
….so egotistical that he had to cover his whole face because of it. Stan Lee preferred the grossly disfigured version…
and it took John Byrne to marry the two together.
Just as with Howard The Duck, we have gone back to the Gerber, with Doctor Doom, it seems we have gone back to the Kirby….
We'll be talking more about Secret Wars changes to the new Marvel Universe later.
