This week Luke and Devin join Tony Stark as he travels through time to resist the urge to drink with his past selves and I guess stop the Dark Phoenix from destroying the world. Little Column A, Little Column B.
Universes and Issues Explored:
- Earth-81191 – Iron Age Alpha #1, Iron Age #1-3, Iron Age Omega #1
Notes:
- Everything Luke knows about Captain Britain is mostly from this episode of Journey Into Misery who recently gave us a shout out! Thanks Kieron and Helena!
- For a good intro to Dazzler and to learn about the first encounter with the Evil Disco, check out this episode of Rachel and Miles!
Our cover is by Noél Villay and our theme music is by Vibe Leviathan.
Don’t forget to check out the image gallery! (and maybe check out our Patreon?)
-
- Luke and Danny, hey!
-
- So I made robot people!
-
- They never do explain why Birch sent Tony back to these exact people. Or why some are miscolored.
-
- Moreshadowing!
-
- I’m just a giant death bird, but not Deathbird.
-
- Congrats to the proud papa.
-
- Not with a bang but a whimper. Or well a flame.
-
- Somehow this image also showed up in Deadpool.
-
- Even during apocalypse, Tony won’t drink here so this is less bad than evil Thor hammers.
-
- Tony fighting with the urge to drink is really good though.
-
- Well this is awkward
-
- Good punch Hank.
-
- The art in this issue was great.
-
- Just lots of action
-
- and riding ants.
-
- Captain Marvel (Monica) escaping Ultron
-
- shoulda gone for it.
-
- I love how everyone except Hank is just so done with Tony.
-
- Hey Mad Jim Jaspers!
-
- I will keep that in mind when it becomes context relevant!
-
- Tony Stark, Thrift King
-
- We all do, Tony.
-
- It’s the Beetles!
-
- Good thing you have something someone said to keep you from murdering him!
-
- Best Teamups!
-
- This story had great moments but was overly confusing.
-
- Classic Luke Cage and Danny!
-
- Tony Stark, taking names, causing divisions between friends.
-
- Great action!
-
- I have no idea how that laser is firing.
-
- Scorpion just got fisted!
-
- Creator Grafitti!
-
- Thanks Obadiah!
-
- They were here for the computer and android graduates, Tony!
-

-
- Nose Costume!
-
- *applauds anyways*
-
- One day they’ll take you serious. Deathly-serious!
-
- Secret Identity! The hookup hotspot for hero wannabes! (Also Wonder Woman in top left?)
-
- Devin’s favorite moment.
-
- Tony IS reasonably tired of glitter.
-
- I can be utilitarian with them too!
-
- #AmazingTimebike
-
- And the costume was never seen again
-
- These are horrible song lyrics!
-
- Thanks Dazzler for that explanation!
-
- Tony’s Drunk Suit From An Alternate British Thrift Shop
-
- Donald and Shaw, Tony has more style than your ren fest reject costumes.
-
- dazzler has a machine gun now
-
- but first you’ll enter a mutant fight club twice and become a backup singer for Lila Cheney
-
- It was a good joke!
-
- Hey Wolverine!
-
- I can do anything!
-
- “I don’t even want to try to save him”
-
- It’s me, Tony Stark! We had Trig together!
-
- Listen to your heart and your robot best friend, Iron Man!
-
- Dialogue!
-
- Shaw’s flying! Kind of!
-
- And I’m gonna mess your shit up!
-
- So someone made actual Nazi action figures for kids…
-
- Luckily I still look pretty jacked.

- Time-Up Move!
-
- #EveryoneLovesJean
-
- I want more of a challenge!
-
- Good job Hank
-
- and not jerks like you!
-
- 616 Tony is so confused.
-
- through watching ourselves die over and over again!
-
- and that’s the stop of the Legend of the Phoenix
-
- because you have no idea what happened.
-
- This panel!
-
- Thank goodness this didn’t happen after AvX!
-
- it would have been better if it ended in an alternate universe instead of the 616.
