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!

Here’s a funny story:

I’ve had several experiences before wherein I braved ridiculous traffic while ignoring hunger just to get my new comics from my LCS, only to be told that the shipment was late and I had to go back the next day. This past week though, I knew ahead of time that the shipment would be delayed. I talked to the clerks via SMS and I confirmed that the shipment was indeed late.
