True Believers: Iron Man 2020 - Pepper Potts #1 (re:view)

Welcome to a whole new adventure with... a comic for your dollar! This time I'm bringing you some Christmas magic - I mean - frosty magic as Iron Man takes on umm... Jack Frost. Let's dive in!
The story is a ringer when one of Tony Stark's scientist goes rogue to steal some trade secrets. It's quite funny as Tony considers him to be his most trusted scientist so I'd be worried how much of a gallery of supervillains he's harbouring. Jack Frost adopts the name after even saying it's on the cheesy side but what can you say though... Iceman called, he wants his wig back. He does throw some icy puns but he should go all ice pun queen up in this place and go full cheese to score those extra brownie puns (and then be locked up in Marvel vault to never be seen again).
The issue does introduce Pepper Potts as a woman with a lot of crust as she brings buckets of shade to Happy Hogan who is just coming in for his first day. He definitely can hold his own though and gives it back as good as he can get. His actions and thoughts make him for an admirable character.

Tony does show his vulnerable side here without his suit, he does run into when he needs some juice to stimulate his heart back into action. He becomes papier-mâché in the arms of Happy which is quite different side to see than the steel casted iron suit he synonymously adjourns. The most hysterical part is seeing him plugged directly into the wall socket to charge himself like a human power bank. Just need to invent wireless charging and bob's your uncle. He's quite buff in his early days and I wouldn't mind having a slice of that cheesecake.

Tony and I are on a first-name basis.
