Pepper Potts Is the New, Slightly Less Invincible Iron Woman
 |
I’d like to dismiss this as some kind of belated response on Marvel’s part to piggyback on the popularity of last year’s movie, but Iron Man is currently being written by Matt Fraction, who everyone assures me is writing not only the best Iron Man comic in just about forever, but also managed to take the Herculean task of writing the best Iron Man comic ever after Marvel turned Tony Stark in the Marvel U’s biggest dickweed for Civil War. I’m giving Fraction, Iron Man and Iron Potts the benefit of the doubt.
However — I’m not sure about the little frowny face she has on her armor. I suppose we should all be impressed the armor doesn’t have lipstick on, which is pretty standard for these sorts of things. (Via Marvel)
