I found myself defending Matt Fraction’s run on The Invincible Iron Man as a thorough and considerate character study, while acknowledging that there wasn’t really anything spectacular going on plotwise. I don’t mean this as a slight on Extremis by any means – in fact, Warren Ellis’ revised mission statement for the true man of tomorrow may be the best Iron Man story I’ve read. ![]() His appeal is centred entirely on the character’s charm, charisma and pride of place as one of fiction’s most famous and prestigious futurists. He’s typically well written and carefully considered (of course, there are glaring exceptions), but he rarely seems to find himself involved in any particularly strong narratives. The more Iron Man stories I read – and the more movies I see as well – it appears that Tony Stark as a lost individual isn’t a metaphor, it’s more of a metaphysical observation. – Sal cuts straight to the heart of the matter It’s used for extraordinary rescue and response situations. I’ve never sold any element of the Iron Man to the military. John Pillinger says the Iron Man suit is a military application. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They Did Bad Things is a deviously clever psychological thriller about the banality of evil and the human capacity for committing horror.ġ995, 215 Caldwell St - 6 roommates moved in.

Twenty years later, all five of them arrive-lured separately under various pretenses-at Wolfheather House, a crumbling, secluded mansion on the Scottish Isle of Doon. The remaining five all knew it wasn’t, and though they went on with their lives, the truth of what happened to their sixth housemate couldn’t stay buried forever. His death was ruled an accident by the police. ![]() In 1995, six university students moved into the house at 215 Caldwell Street. Months later, one of them was found dead on the sofa the morning after their end-of-year party. Murder on the Orient Express meets The Last Time I Lied in this gripping thriller set in a remote Scottish mansion. ![]() ![]() ![]() I had so little interest in the character or in a reimagining of one of his more famous episodes that even the promise of Naoki Urasawa’s stellar storytelling chops wouldn’t lure me out. I didn’t know enough about Astroboy to be a fan or otherwise. But I do not find myself able to dive into his stories for the sake of those stories-I’ve always got to have an ulterior motive, usually one associated with academic appreciation.īecause of this, giving Pluto a chance was a hard sell for me. As an archaeological window into the development of the form, yes. As the comics form has evolved and storytelling grown into using a more mature set of tools, I find myself unable to appreciate Tezuka as story. They are so deeply products of their times that they appear quaint and stilted-to me at least (I’ve spoken before of my trouble with attempting to escape my biases). I think I may be too far divorced from the period of his innovation to view the works as fresh. ![]() Beyond a hard-won affection for his Buddha, I haven’t come to take much enjoyment from the other books of his I’ve sampled.

The book frames the ideas and biases within longer and shorter narratives, which is one reason the book was always engaging throughout. They shifted their focus to examine the decision-making process and gave birth to a theory that overturned our understanding of human behavior in general. The book was an endless spring of interesting ideas about cognitive bias, and why people make mistakes in their thought processes.
