Iron Man Week has too much awesome in it that it’s screwing with Time itself. This, the 5th Tuesday Theatre post, went live on a Wednesday, totally screwing up our timeline and endangering mankind’s future!

OK not really. I just had to bump Tuesday Theatre because of the 15 Best Comic Book Movies of All Time feature I did with Cinemabuzz and Comicology. Wanna make somethin’ of it?!

Anyhoo, I searched YouTube for Iron Man tribute videos and I discovered that most of them feature the Black Sabbath song, which is kind of annoying. No, not the song. The song is probably one of the greatest rock songs of all time. What’s annoying is most people can’t think of songs that would be perfect for an Iron Man video other than the Sabbath one. Thank Stan for the dude who made this video:

Like all great movie trilogies, the second movie has to live up to the first, and maybe even try to surpass it. It also has to build the story and the conflict for the third movie’s awesome finish. On top of all that, it has to stand on its own. It has to be a strong enough movie so it won’t feel like just a bridge connecting two towers of AWESOME. That’s a lot of responsibility for a movie. Thank God this isn’t a movie. This is the second part of Cinemabuzz, Comicology, and Face Rockery’s collaborative list of the 15 Best Comic Book Movies of All Time! HAHAHAHAaaaiiineed a drink.

Now, before we start, make sure you’ve read the first part of the list over at Cinemabuzz. If you haven’t done that yet, please do so now. … Done? Awesome. Let’s go.

There’s no better way to bring back my totally useless blog series, Face-Rocking Covers, than the first day of this most momentous week: IRON MAN WEEK YAY! Obviously, we’ll be taking a look at some of ol’ Shellhead’s old face-rocking comic book covers. The Invincible One didn’t catch the fancy of the general public until the movie was announced, which baffles me since Iron Man is one rockin’ mofo. Observe:

One of the most suspenseful covers ever. Seriously. It’s a dude trying to get his normal clothes off and desperately trying to put on his suit of armor… WHILE FALLING TO HIS CERTAIN DEATH! If only he thought of bringing this thing called a “parachute”.

Next week, the Iron Man movie will drop into theaters. It’s going to be an awesome week. I propose that we all stop listening to everything that we usually listen to and just bask in the fantastic rock magic of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” song. Also, it will be the perfect time for me to hold Iron Man Week here in Face Rockery, but it’s too awesome to be contained in one blog alone! Enter: CINEMABUZZ AND COMICOLOGY!

And there came a week like no other, when three blogs united under one banner: IRON MAN WEEK! Cinemabuzz, the blog about cinema that involves some buzz! Comicology, the blog about the study of awesome! And Face Rockery, the blog about… um, faces being rocked? Whatever. All three blogs will host Iron Man Week and it’s all about our good friend, the Invincible Iron Man! I have no idea what we’ll come up with, but I bet it’s going to be irontastic!

I haven’t been following the stuff that’s going on at the New York Comic Con, and I haven’t been posting stuff on this blog as often as I’d like, but reading some updates on Newsarama, a few pieces of information caught my eye and I just have to blog about it.

OK, I love apes as much as the next guy, but come on. Marvel Apes? NO. Let’s move on.
