The Express-Times sensationalizes Marvel's villification of Iron Man

As if the MSM's dumbing-down of their coverage of Civil War couldn't get any worse, now I have to discover that the New Jersey Express-Times has glorified Marvel's villification of Shell-Head:
Best Villain: Iron Man

At the start of Marvel's ''Civil War,'' Iron Man vows to bring in Captain America and any other hero who joins his crusade -- no matter the cost.

To prove his determination, he uses a Thor clone to kill Goliath, builds a prison in the Negative Zone for any unregistered hero and uses a guilt trip to trick Spider-man into unmasking on national television to show support for the registration act -- only to attack him when he decides he's on the wrong side.

Marvel is going to have a hard time redeeming this one-time hero.
And the worst part here is that they make it all sound good. Absolutely disgusting.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
