I love this painting by Daniel Clarke. It absolutely captures the vindication I think a lot of readers would like to see in the post-Civil War era. A one-hit smack down of epic proportions. Glorious :)

I haven’t seen Sherlock Holmes yet, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that if all Robert Downey Jr. made for the rest of his life was sequels to Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, the world would be better for it.

This looks like another incredibly charismatic and fun movie - everything I loved about Iron Man.

Now for some fretting: Seeing Don Cheadle in the War Machine armor was a little.. odd, but I’m willing to hold off judgment. I had hoped to see something from Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow that we hadn’t seen before, but I will have to wait for that too. I also have concerns that Olivia Munn will be playing Melina Vostokoff, aka The Iron Maiden, a Russian agent who was overshadowed by the Black Widow and thus wanted to kill her. God forbid Johansson and Munn have any scenes together - neither could act their way out of a box…

But I get ahead of myself.. for now.. I will just *SWOON*
