 Collected Comics Library Podcast #169 40,129Kb; 42m 32s http://www.collectedcomicslibrary.com/ It’s that wonderful time of year again - Summer Blockbusters! The 2008 season kicks off today with Iron Man - one of my favorite characters of all time. In fact if you take a listen you’ll find out how I first got acquainted with Tony Stark. Not only do I go over the publishing history of Iron Man and all the limited amount of his collected editions, but I also tell you how he has gotten screwed by Captain America throughout Marvel history. Also on the show today, I go over some news regarding a new Marshal Law Omnibus from Top Shelf, a rundown of upcoming Marvel Essentials and DC Showcase Presents and Archives and I answer an e-mail from Denis from California. All this, plus a rundown of The New Releases of the Week and my plans for the upcoming Motor City Comic Con (May 16-18). Please visit my site sponsors: In-Stock Trades, Forbidden Planet International (UK), and Library Binding Company.

I have a few minutes left of the episode (drive in went by quicker than I expected) but what I've heard was gold. Loved the 'Iron Man got screwed' tangent. I like your idea on how to tweak the 'Best of...' or 'Greatest Stories...' collections.

I ordered the omnibus from Amazon. Has anyone else picked up a copy? For the most part, this will be my first reading of these stories.

We keep talking about Iron Man in our Genre fiction class (on tangents), so this was a nice refresher. I have to say that the Knauf's current stuff, 15-18, 21-28 is fantastic. I love what they have done with the book and I really hope that Fraction's Invincible Iron Man doesn't take away buzz from this title.
