Infamous Iron Man #6


Infamous Iron Man (2016-) #6

Infamous Iron Man, Issue #6 begins, strangely enough, with Victor Von Doom and Reed Richards as college students.  Reed wants to be friends, and Von Doom wants to be left alone.  It then skips ahead to the present day, where Von Doom is Infamous Iron Man, Von Doom's long-dead mother is alive and young, and Reed Richards is sleeping with Mommy Von Doom, also known as Cynthia, the sorceress.

This is a weird Iron Man series.  I just can't get used to sympathizing with Von Doom and not Reed Richards.  There's no outward signal that Richards is going to be the antagonist of this series besides him sleeping with Mommy Von Doom, but there's a decidedly evil vibe imparted on him by the creators, which include artists Alex Maleev and Matt Hollingsworth.  At the end of the comic, an appearance by Riri Williams/Ironheart is teased for Issue #7.
