I like Fraction's Iron Man series alot, but I read them in the collections, I'm sure reading them monthly would be a frustrating "decompressed" nightmare. There's a hardcover collecting the first 19 issues that's pretty dope.
I always assumed Bruce Wayne had some kind of Ivy League education, but thinking about it, I don't know if it's ever been addressed.

thanks
what the backstory on elephantmen?
-
^mad scientist creates human animal hybrids as soldiers, fights war, loses war, the story is about the hybrids trying to integrate into society...one of thems a CEO, some of them are police officers, some are bartenders, fighters, bums, etc...it's a slow burn, though...most of the stories are like vignettes although there is an overarching storyline.

that book 'mystic' from marvel/crossgen is fucking gorgeous...the art looks like cel animation from a 40s disney cartoon...haven't read it yet, but it is sweet to look at

^^^ thats the same artist thats doing black panther right now, right?

yeah...is that series worth checking out? i feel like BP hasn't had a good series since the arc that hudlin and jrjr did.
