First Rhodes as Iron Man - Armor Wars Spec

You took the words out of my mouth, Mr.Wilson. I would think that IM118, 1st appearance of James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes, would see some love too. I also am uninformed of any sales trends for that book.

I think his real first appearance is a key book but him putting on the Iron Man suit in this case makes it more appealing for some.

But Iron Man #118 is still a pretty affordable book for most.

Iron Man 118 sales seems all over the place lately. The last few sales for raw copies have gone from $12 to $70 for better looking copies. A 9.8 sold at $400 a few days ago. Graded copies at 9.2-9.6 are in the $100-$200 range. Still an affordable book.

I paid about $20 for a copy that looks like it can be pressed a little. Good cheap-ish book with potential for a high ceiling.

I picked up a 9.8 of #118 about 4 or 5 years ago for around $200. This book has a lot of room to grow imo.

An update:

Who is supposed to help Rhodey with his armor - maintenance, enhancements etc., now that Tony Stark is dead in the movies ? Is it Riri ? Or Tony Stark A.I. ? Or maybe Disney introduces Osborn, and then somehow leads that into Iron Patriot + Dark Avengers.

I have this same question for Mackie’s Capt. America/Falcon.

Wakanda and Shuri

Good choice - but Rhodey represents the US Govt… Shuri/Wakanda represents a conflict of interest.

There are no borders when it comes to the Avengers, etc. :wink:

War Machine is not part of the Avengers.

That’s why I added… etc… :wink:

I got it :ok_hand: :ok_hand:
Just trying to see other thoughts!
Maybe some new characters to support him,

The story I think will focus more on the villains that steal Iron Mans tech than WarMachine

I get the Armor Wars link, but with the damage the War Machine suit is going to take to recover/destroy the Iron Man Armor. He is going to need support. Tony had to bail him out in Iron Man 3.
Just thinking out loud - lots of possibilities I’m sure. I see the same issue with the Capt. America movie.

I’m just going to have to wait for a Disney+ offer to view all these shows. I only have Prime now, so limited to the Boys + Invincible, and whatever is released on DVD at the public library.

I’m so confused…

As a fan of Spader’s Ultron, I would welcome that.
