Gene Simmons of KISS has the ability to come up with more marketing schemes than anyone I know.   Even when they are not able to produce more music, he comes up with different ways of packaging their older music into new albums (yeah, I still call them albums) in order to make a buck wherever they can.  Don't get me wrong, next to The Beatles, KISS is probably my favorite group.  But, I'm beginning to think the comic industry took some marketing lessons from Gene Simmons and KISS.   

Take Invincible Iron Man as just one of many examples but probably the most egregious I've seen yet!   If you wanted to collect this series (and are the type of collector who wants every issue to complete the series) then you would have to by 72 books just to get the first 25 in the series complete!  HUH?!!!   There is a point where it just gets ridiculous and this is one of those times.    I'm getting sick of those variant covers just to make a buck!!

I will probably be one of the only ones who will admit it but, I was dissapointed with Iron Man 2.   Albeit, I thought that Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko was incredible (and I wanted more of him) I just really wanted to reach into the silver screen and strangle Sam Rockwell who played Justin Hammer.

But, finally....we get a peak into the new Iron Man 3 and I say BRAVO from what I see.  With bring The Mandarin into the story, they have set it up for a lot more Iron Man to follow.

Is it May 2013 yet??
