Iron Man teaser site launched
There’s not much to look at yet, but Marvel has launched a teaser site for the Iron Man movie at http://www.starkironworks.com/.
“Ironworks” brings up memories of Force Works, the bad 1990s comic that took the place of West Coast Avengers and was somehow tied into that whole “teenage Tony” storyline, IIRC. Y’know, the one where the real Tony Stark turned out to be a skrull sleeper agent for Kang?

Sam & Max, back in print
Video game darlings Sam and Max are returning their old ‘hood, as Telltale Games will offer a trade of their previous comic adventures in their online store later this year:
“I was amazed when I realized it’s been twenty years since the first Sam & Max comic was published,” says Purcell. “I’ve met people who have actually grown up with Sam & Max. Even during the times I was busy with other projects, I was always gratified that Sam & Max’s rabidly loyal fans managed to keep them alive.”
These rabidly loyal fans will cheer today with the announcement that Surfin’ the Highway, the long out-of-print trade paperback collection of Sam & Max’s exploits, will be republished in 2007. In addition to all of the content of the 1995 original (including “Monkeys Violating the Heavenly Temple,” the now classic “Bad Day on the Moon,” and “On the Road,” which inspired the 1993 LucasArts Sam & Max video game), the new edition will also contain extra Sam & Max content developed over the last decade, such as rarely seen comic stories, previously unreleased art, and a new cover. The reprint will debut exclusively in Telltale’s online store later this year. More details of the reprint, including pricing and availability information, will be announced in the near future.

Actually, Tony turned out to be a sleeper agent for Immortus, who was only posing as Kang. And seeing as how “real Tony,” Teen Tony and Heroes Reborn Tony all got their minds melded together in Avengers Annual 2001, the Skrul, er, I mean Tony, running around right now IS that Tony. Unless he’s a Skrull.

Ah yes … I’d forgotten that Kurt Busiek had cleaned up a lot of that mess.

Friends don’t let friends reference ForceWorks. I prefer to just remember the Wackos as they were before the removed Hawkeye’s sense of humor and John Byrne decided the Vision disappearing would really shake things up. Ahhh..Tigra…
