Greetings True Believers!

Fear Itself rages, Paris is crushed and Iron Man needs help.

So he turns to Odin and his own oldest skill.

Tony needs to make some weapons.



(Even in Asgard, they must adhere to OSHA standards!)



Tony convinces Odin to help him build weapons to challenge the Serpent's Hammers.

Odin whisks him (still drunk) to the workshops of Svartalfheim where weapons such as Mjolnir were forged.

Tony meets up with the boss dwarf and tries to explain what he wants to build. Dwarf-dude isn't awed.



Tony tries a brain-storming session/staff meeting. It does not go well. But they get to work anyway.







Goes to show, the only way to gain the respect of Dwarves, Asgardians and the like is walk up to them and bust them in the chops.

Yeah, Don't think Tony thought this one through.

Still, it'll pay off when they make him his own version of the Destroyer Armor.

So, Tony sacrifices his sobriety to get Odin to pay attention.

SILLY ME, I thought Fraction was actually going to be able to handle that maturely!

Anyways, the art looks odd, likes it's traced.

The part with him enjoying the drink kind of depressed me. I hoped he would posture for Odin and walk away from it. First Ironman is drinking again and then Megaman Legends 3 gets cancelled. Videogames and comics are making me sad :(

Also in the internal mono luge tony said he did not believe in God. I dont know why but earlier stories I have read with him never really had him pegged as an atheist.

Ugly sacrifices had to be made.

Yeah, it's terrible justification, but it's the truth.
this is the price for divine intervention.

The one thing I think this issue lacked that would've fit both the Dwarves and Tony nicely?

The Dwarf King trying to intimidate Tony by pointing out his many accomplishments, such as forging Mjolnir, and Tony replying by boasting himself about the multiple high-tech weapons he's designed. Because that would likely get the Dwarves' respect.

Still, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes did "Tony visits the Dwarves and forges a new Armor" a lot better.

I don't LIKE this development, but it is very logical. Tony is an alcoholic, and now he's off the wagon. He really shouldn't be enjoying this, and he will definitely regret it later, but right now he's just going with it.

Gah, it's been bugging me why Tony Stark's looked so "off" all this time. Figured it out. Well, that and the nose is weird, but he did just get socked by a dwarf smith.

Great, now in my mind Iron Man talks like a hippie.
Also, the rune-swearing is highly amusing. Also it would be even logical because swearwords are something hat depend on what you associate them with so it's quite likely there'd be no words in our language for theirs. :D
(btw does anyone know where Balder is? I mean Tyr's chillin' with Hela...)

I'm just annoyed. The Futhark isn't that difficult (it's based on the greek alphabet after all) and it shouldn't be hard to make them actually swear rather than just using them to denote gibberish.

See, I can't reconcile this with the Dwarf Smiths Eitri and Brokkr, a duo so dedicated to their work that the latter literally wasn't allowed to MOVE from pumping the bellows to heat up the fire while his brother forged.

Reconcile that with an architect who trips over a wheelbarrow and throw molten-metal assisted punches after one bottle of wine? And you get, in all likelihood, a traingular gun. Or a bow that fires bricks.

Is this another reason they brought Bethany back? Since she was the one who was able to get Tony out back then?
Or will it be Pepper and/or Rhodey this time?

Can the Resilient team help too?

Despite the pain this relapse is gonna cause, I think Fraction's handling it like it would happen most logically.

I know Tony's relapse is the overarching theme here, but the pedant in me can't help but think "wouldn't a punch from a super-powered mythological creature to a human's unprotected face result in said human's brains being splattered all over?" I mean, if it were Carol Danvers getting into a drunken brawl with Grumpy I could see it easily enough, but a regular person should be more tender and vulnerable than even a newborn from one of those other-dimensional races.

Otherdimensional doesn't necessarily, automatically mean superhuman. The dwarves in Marvel's Asgard are pretty close to normal humans overall, and have been for quite some time.

He sacrificed something he cherished: sobriety. Odin responds to that kind of thing, even when Odin's ostensibly not paying attention to Earth.
