Steve Rogers as Iron Man ?

Steve Rogers as Iron Man would let Bucky remain as Captain America, but I don’t see it for more than a couple of issue (until Tony gets his mind back). It is one thing for a bad guy to pretend to be a good guy or for a sidekick to take over the mantle, but for one big name hero to take over the name of another one for more than an issue or two seems like it goes too far.

I think Matt Fraction stated that Tony Stark would be out of the picture for a while, as Iron Man. Although this doesn’t necessarily have to follow suit, it could be Steve offering the armor to someone he believes is worthy of it (Bucky maybe? similar to Bucky getting the Capt. America shield and cowl from Tony)

Not the least bit interested. Civil War was an embarrasment and seeing as how it’s still the same people who wrote that insulting book, I won’t even consider buying it.

I’m sure there won’t be much of a plot and something magic will happen and stuff will be different because of it.

I trust Bendis won’t disappoint. Not every story is perfect even the much hyped, but awful Final Crisis and Morrisonia Batman and Robin.

I’m sorry, but that’s just a very ugly image. The nice detail on the armor doesn’t make up for the fact that the human in the image looks like something that went around the dryer a few times.

Sevedris said: “DC reinventing its Silver Age elements - good.
Marvel doing the same - bad. Tony’s armor in a suitcase looks silly.”

The armor is a suitcase is indeed silly, but other than that I have to say the exact opposite of your opinion… I’ve been completely turned off to Didio’s “vision” for the DCU since coming back to comics a few years ago. Marvel’s done some stupid things for sure (I refuse to read any Spidey any more), but Captain America and Iron Man have been two of my favorite reads in that same timespan.

Jesus, hate, hate, hate…if you don’t like it, don’t comment and move on and never look at it again.

Oh, and Doug Ramsey, Mark Millar and Steve McNiven did Civil War, I wasn’t aware that they were the creative team on Siege. But not to worry, I’m sure Marv Wolfman and George Perez are going to knock it out of the park on the second half of Blackest Night.

I can’t see Marvel putting Steve in the Iron Man armor for long with IM2 coming out next year how would they cash in on movie tie in’s and explain to non comic readers this other guy being in the suit then with the Cap movie on the way ( I know it’s a long time off) it wouldn’t make any sense , at least that’s the way I take it .

There is no avoiding that someone has an issue somewhere with some story. But it seems that too many of the people that blog overly critical things on the websites are looking for another Watchmen story. Or something that just HAS to have some GRAND significance. Life altering even. What happened to a story plays out like a good old fashioned pop corn flick? Something that doesn’t require you take a while to digest or sit and ponder on for hours. Sometimes you need that and I for one would like to see that in Siege. The good guys banding together to just go kick some ass. I am sick of this “evil wins” crap. Its PLAYED OUT!!!! Its like the NWO from wrestling years ago and its been all over comics (this means you too DC). Its gotten ANNOYING!!! And the hero’s are starting to turn EMO on us. Why dont Marvel and DC start handing out free razor blades with the comics. I am hoping that Siege will be an ass kicking story. The hero’s finally get over themselves and go ptu the fear go God back into the little creeps that have been running around lately pretending to be them. Something needs to get me excited to pick up a comic book again. Give me that adrenalin rush and makes you wanna don the tights like when you were a kid. This is Marvel’s chance to one up DC. If I want EMO, I will start listening to The Used and go talk to the “I wear my sister’s pants” kids down the street.

Just so you know Comic Book Movie fans hate Comic books they think the movie are better then the comics so they don’t read them as far as the movie those if Marvel is stuipd enough to let a movie control Comics that their own dam Problem maybe they should be smart and not make movie anymore (Marvel smart LOL).

Any one know if there is any significance to the combo number “399377″ on the briefcase

You know, I just got this strange feeling that this is gonna end with Bucky being dead again, dying to free his country!!!

He should really keep a more secure lock on something as important as the Iron Man armor.

Good lord, it’s wonder ANYONE publishes comics after a day’s comments on Newsarama. The book has even been published yet, and already it’s “Nag nag nag, bitch bitch bitch..”. Seriously, guys, I don’t always like EVERYTHING out there, but you know what? I know this may come as a surprise, but here comes the shocker: You *DON’T* have to buy and/or read it! Now, go on, and let those of us interested, less-closed mind folk look and wait with anticipation. Sheesh!

@Doug Ramsey

It’s kind of tough to believe that you’re “not the least bit interested” when you post in response to the article.

Peter David, Ed Brubaker, JMS, Greg Pak, Fred Van Lente, Jeff Parker, Christos Gage, Dan Slott, hell I HATE most of Millar’s work, but it’s obvious by the Ultimates that he at least GETS what type of stories and characters the Avengers SHOULD be about.

Bendis on the Avengers is like Mickey Spillane writing a Tom Clancy novel…it makes no sense.

“Just so you know Comic Book Movie fans hate Comic books they think the movie are better then the comics so they don’t read them as far as the movie those if Marvel is stuipd enough to let a movie control Comics that their own dam Problem maybe they should be smart and not make movie anymore (Marvel smart LOL).”

Jesus Christ my head hurts due to what an idiot you are.

Right on, Spacedog 2K5!!!

And didn’t Steve already wear armor in the 90’s?!

Wow.. the art is bad! The IronMan armor is all out of proportion.

Its hard to imagine how “Anal Surprise”s comment meant no offense to Chuck Austen. Not that I liked Chuck Austen’s work, but I’m just saying…

This cover isn’t Bianchi finest work although it does raise interesting questions. To me the numbers seem to mean March ‘99 and March ‘77. Do those dates mean anything to anybody?

When Captain America throws his mighty shield…

Awww, c’mon LightningBug… I thought that last line was hilarious. =)

Avengers did quite well under Kurt Busiek, who wrote it not all that long before Bendis. Yes Bendis has enjoyed great success on the Avengers books and many others, but that doesn’t mean other writers couldn’t have done as well. And Bendis isn’t perfect either, based on Nick Fury’s Secret Warriors.

Also, most other writers weren’t allowed to make the sweeping changes they allowed Bendis to make. I’d been hearing of an Avengers implosion since the early 80s; they finally let Bendis do it.
