Scott Snyder's IRON MAN! | Iron Man Noir

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

My theory for why Tony decides to make his suit powered by his heart? If Tony's gonna have a heart problem, he's going to make it _everyone's_ problem, too.

[@langleymneely]

Lmao!

[@jorgergz-taboadela2439]

Fun fact: Captain Namor is drawn to resemble italian comic character Corto Maltese by Hugo Pratt, a comic Frank Miller loved so much he named a fictional island in the DC Universe

[@theindiecorner]

When I was in elementary school my mom got me the "Iron Man: Noir" trade back when they had digest sized editions. It was one of my earliest tradepaper backs when I started reading comics and my first Noir line book. Even as a kid then... I thought it was gonna be stupid. Then I read it...turns out it was INSANELY FUN haha. Still stand by it at 25 years old! Thanks for taking me back to my childhood fellas!❤

[@langleymneely]

I feel so ancient. That’s awesome to hear!

[@Grievousish]

Whenever Grievous is mentioned on Back Issues, another lightsaber appears in my house

[@accidentalmadness1708]

“With a very special metal” god dammit Scott!

[@IzzysIssues]

I can't belive Iron Man discovered Batmanium

[@TheGreatDevlin]

38:53 The way my childhood Yu-Gi-Oh brain is twitching right now

[@gabrielschafer8810]

So glad I'm not the only one who thought this

[@4StarArcadian]

For me it's Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts personally, but yeah my brain still felt like it was melting either way

[@thederpiestofderps]

To be fair, it is not pronounced how it is spelled

[@gabrielschafer8810]

True that. If not for Yu-Gi-Oh, I would have had no idea how to pronounce it

[@4StarArcadian]

Honestly I never really had an issue with pronouncing it, and again my first experience learning of Orichalcum was in Kingdom Hearts where the word's never spoken aloud it's just a material used for synthesis

[@halfmettlealchemist8076]

"Rocketeer meets Indiana Jones" kinda goes hard as a story premise ngl

[@langleymneely]

Honestly makes me sad Rocketeer never had sequels! Such a great premise.

[@mttylerdurden9]

​@@langleymneely he's got some new comics

Ben has overtaken Ethan in the sexy haircut department, by sheer virtue of Ethan's recent trim. Ben's conspicuous left part is both baffling but also transfixing: a big swing grabbing big attention. Sal, ever the follicle stalwart, remains the well-trimmed barometer for our trichotillomanic titans

[@Sluggwurth]

If KZbin comments can be considered art, this would be one of the examples.

[@catswithlasers]

Punisher Noir and Luke Cage Noir are both great Noir-universe stories

[@halfmettlealchemist8076]

They also made a Daredevil Noir book that's pretty good IIRC

[@brunocatao821]

And Deadpool Noir exists. Don't know if it's good or not.

[@Bobbybillybillbob]

Makes sense. If you are doing a "Noir" universe, my first choices would be Punisher, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Elektra, Hawkeye (he was a carnie, use that background!) Blade, Iron Fist

[@halfmettlealchemist8076]

@@brunocatao821 Honestly I'm a little curious to see how they'd do Deadpool in a more grounded, noir-inspired setting lol

[@andrewfoerster6864]

Luke cage noir is the first luke cage story that worked for me. Super well done. Sad it doesn't get much love.

[@sovereign_doom]

hearing sal pronounce orichalcum that way this whole episode is hilarious

[@comicpop]

Glad we could make you laugh.

[@SW-jj1sw]

how is it supposed to be pronounced cus looking at it that's the conclusion id draw too

[@Okkotsu86275]

Nice haircut, Ben👍🏽👍🏽

[@Okkotsu86275]

@dn22pkkdd476 Yeah, he look sharp with it

[@JoeChillton]

This is one of my first Snyder books, i dig this alot with how they use ZEMO here and the load of details here especially in the other books like putting a side story in the X Men books akin to Tales of the Black Freighter but replacing it with Bolivar Trask and his Sentinels.

[@TevyaSmolka]

I had no idea Scott Snyder did a iron man noir book that’s really cool and super interesting 🧐

[@garrettmorton774]

The only criticism I have of this book is that there isn't more of it! Pulp Iron Man rocks, and a Pulp Avengers story would rock even harder!

[@goodgame764]

The daredevil punisher and luke cage noirs are pretty good also still waiting on part 3 of marvel universe vs.

[@Victorystoneworthy]

Thor, the legend of Noir.

[@chrisdaily2077]

She-Hulk: Attorney in Noir

[@The_Albino_Jackal]

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Noir

[@KOFNY]

Let’s GOOOO man. I’ve thought about this one for so long.

[@arniexvx9776]

now THAT'S how you start an episode hell yeah

[@Sicod79]

It's not because it is a pulp adventure that the women have to fight, it is because it is a superhero book and there is more than one woman. Odds are they will fight at some point!

[@Hulkzilla0]

I love the pitch for Iron Man Noir: Starring Nick Fury. It's almost Batman-ish in a way.

[@Victorystoneworthy]

Thor, Noir and Thunder.

[@Veki13]

I was not expecting to see a callback to the Phantom, but I'm here for all your Phantom call backs.

[@treyurbach2550]

What's hilarious is that Namor was invented around the same time this book takes place in. So classic Namor could have absolutely been in this story no question.

[@tylerferguson3193]

Hope you're having a good day

[@comicpop]

Not especially.

[@tylerferguson3193]

Hope it'll improve then!

[@catlawyerwilldefendfortrea6038]

Just realizing the most recent SM: Noir was a lot more like this than the actual SM: Noir. Pulp versions of Captain America would be fun!

[@halfmettlealchemist8076]

Noir Captain America would just be regular Captain America, except he never gets frozen because it’s the 1930s still lol

[@Hamzahasanlse]

27:41 So basically a steampunk pacemaker or artifical valves

[@TevyaSmolka]

Great job guys on back issues of iron man noir it’s really awesome and fantastic in my opinion

[@cherch222]

Never read this noir book. Can’t wait to see how this turns out!

[@3113mac]

Ah, the classic "How'd you know about the parts you weren't there for" bit

[@sangera]

Sal has NOT seen Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom!

[@matiasmendoza9274]

I think he saw it but considered it forgettable

[@GoodVolition]

The Noir verse (which I agree is not really a consistent universe) is just very strange. All X Men related noir things are bizarre. Cage and Daredevil noir are just actual noirs and I think are interesting.

[@ill_hex8103]

I haven't read X-Men Noir, but it sounds like if the Ultimate X-Men just cut the bs and embraced who they are.

[@MattCamara_]

When I heard Sal mention orichalcum, my first thought was "damn, Scott was making up fake metals even back then"

[@HandsomeRansom94]

"Orichalcum" "Well we can't have him doing that..."

[@matiasmendoza9274]

Unless you know it's a mythical ore, it's kinda dirty sounding

[@fcm3d]

Billy Zane as The Phantom is dope!

[@freack3333]

I had a good laugh at the pronunciation Orichalcum. They might be correct but i always pronounced it Ori kal come.

[@SeelkadoomandJokic00]

Is it not Ori Kal Cum?

[@saintlugia]

Nah your closer

[@benjaminfletcher6632]

Naw they are way off

[@CAPappy]

This is one of the first comic trades I ever bought with my own money

[@logansmith2703]

I love the running Predator on a Pirate ship gag. Also I like legitimately want it now.

[@SeelkadoomandJokic00]

I always pronounced Orichalcum as "Ori Kal Cum" so how you pronounced it made me chuckle my ass off.

[@comicpop]

Glad we could entertain you.

[@sonchezz]

Lol. You did that because that's the way you pronounce it. It's a mythical metal from the writings of Plato that was supposedly mined in Atlantis. That said, going forward I will use the Sal pronunciation because it's funny.

[@Logan7281X]

I was eating when he said it.😄 Choked a little. I knew what he was going to say, so when he was saying it, my brain pronounced it the way I knew it and it made my brain stutter.😂

[@PencilFan-hj3lo]

Psst "cum"

[@operatchick6486]

They need to make a Weird series inspired by Weird Fiction of the early 20th century. I want Dr. Strange: Weird, Ghostrider: Weird and Hulk: Weird.

[@lorehammer40k4]

Okay, how long did it take for the word "noir" to lose all meaning and begin sounding like total gibberish for everyone in the opening? For me, it took about 27 seconds.

[@joeclarke7982]

Lol good im not the only one.

[@taterslam0573]

I love the noir verse. My favorite had to be daredevil noir just because the world fits daredevil so well.

[@gavinspace]

i feel like iron man in a noir setting just makes sense already, they wouldn’t really have to make many changes aside from worse tech

[@Aaron-zt5ee]

He works as a pulp hero and that seems to he the case in this story, but noir isn’t a genre that lends itself to sci-fi tropes, usually.

[@Josephmc2503]

I’ve never recommended a book for Back Issues and then last week I remembered this book existed and was thinking how great it would be on the couch. Lo and behold, this appears a few days later, what a coincidence! Great ep as always 💪👍

[@daltonweakly]

A Marvel (or DC) Pulp style line should be called “Nothing but Pulp”

[@samuelkohi4415]

Sal, it is pronounces ORI-CALCUM

[@fatenabu1]

This is making me want to play Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis...

One of the most interesting and revered pirates was Zheng Yi Sao, she was a Chinese pirate Queen. Id watch her go toe to toe with a Predator anytime!👍🏾

[@patricklawson]

My favorite comicpop friends 🎉

[@FREEkdaman]

What if, for a Captain America Noir, he's a civil war soldier that fight a confederate Red Skull. Than get frozen somehow, maybe in Alaska hunting Red Skull towards the end of the war and gets unfrozen in the Noir time ready to fight Nazi's. Could be something their.

[@comicpop]

I kinda love this.

[@jakester1115]

I’d read the shit outta that honestly lol

[@matiasmendoza9274]

Fun fact: Orichalcum plays a big role in Aquaman 2. It's the rare metal sought by Black Manta

That Fury noir book sounds like the perfect chance for a Randal Pierce callback

[@machbass]

As a Final Fantasy fan, it physically hurt me to hear Sal pronounce Orichalcum the way I did at 12 years of age.

[@Hattersplatter]

Now onto xmen noir 😂

[@dna6]

"We gotta get women whipping women" certainly doesn't deserve a place in the Hall Of Alliterative Fame, but I do feel it should be recorded in human history

Man somebody was really mining all of the material from "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" video game By LucasArts for PC, MS-DOS and CD-Rom when they came up with the plot for this story.

[@Insane-Howl-Cowl]

37:47 - Atlantis is not REAL! Oh... oh no... I need to make a call REAL QUICK.... BRB!

[@ftfasttalkfoodreviewsyt]

Did Snyder read the iron man concept script where Howard was the iron monger?

[@chriscorlett8671]

Would you do Batman vs The Shadow?

[@Ashguy733]

I mean id read a Namor Noir if it was set during his Golden Age era in the 50s before he loses his memory. I mean im just happy that Lady Dorma his first love is the name of the boat and they weave in that he has the same career as his father. Also 42:25 I think its a hidden Namor reference to the Sea of Sargasso where ships through time go missing, except in the 616 universe, like people who crash there are alive or like in limbo?

[@MrYTGuy1]

and i shall name this new genre of thor noir storytelling... thoir edit: also namoir the dark mariner

[@RagnorokKing]

Orichalcum Sal, y' know the second most popular fantasy metal after mythril. Is in every dnd and rpg game that exists. Your telling me none of yall have ever heard of it?

[@ryebreadreturn1]

Never in my life have I heard of this, but then I never played a fantasy RPG either. I'm genuinely shocked how many people are familiar with it. I've also never encountered mithril outside of seeing Lord of the Rings and then later reading it and the Hobbit, so if it's less popular than mithril that would check out.

[@sandywest4977]

Going to see if this is on Hoopla🙂

[@comicpop]

YOOOOOO ONE MINUTE🎉🎉🎉

[@jollyrouger2945]

Idk about avengers pulp, Avenger Timely, the Adventure line, you could use this iron man, Captain America would be kirby’s OG or a tintin version of steve couldn’t make the army and no serum he becomes a war journalist, Black Widow is that classic fem fetal but with a heart of gold, you could work in spider-man noir id prefer the first take but they would go with the cage redux, Conan style Hulk, it should feel kind of like league of extraordinary gentlemen

So it's uru?

[@Sqoobthedude]

They did what to namors ears? Dare i say the book... jumped the shark?

[@GrazyX13]

Wait this isn't a rocketeer book?

[@matiasmendoza9274]

Hey Sal, don't bother with people trying to correct you on how to pronounce that damn fantasy ore. As I've said in other comment, in my 32 years (even playing DnD) I've only found this metal in Saint Seiya and the Aquaman sequel

[@Barbarianleague]

One of the worlds most successful pirates was a Chinese female prostitute turned privateer called Zheng Yi Sao, so in your predator pitch the strong female lead could actually be the captain and the story would still be historically accurate

[@agony3254]

"Don't harah my buzz, bro" = Hippie!? Ben, have you not seen any of the "teen" movies from the early 2000s (American Pie, Napoleon Dynamite) or never met a frat bro?

[@99jmaster]

38:50 Since Sal Said he used to be an English teacher and he's a nersI would have assumed he would have seen that word before, because that shit shows up all the time in nerd media

[@comicpop]

"All the time."

[@matiasmendoza9274]

To be fair, I know Orichalcum only from just TWO works of fiction: Saint Seiya and Aquaman 2. Besides those two, haven't heard or read about it in 32 years.

[@langleymneely]

I’ve always heard pronounced as OR-eh-CALL-cum? Snyder definitely does his research on shit. Lol

[@Fatboyftw32]

Them pronouncing Orichalcum so wrong hurt me every time lmao.

[@FREEkdaman]

I feel like the story was solid, but the suits are kinda lame

[@JARD7318]

To tell the truth I've never really been a fan of the noir verse. It always struck me as trying to use dark, bleak, and edgy and calling it realism. And then couple that with their almost pathological fear of anything pointing towards the characters having real powers and it just wasn't for me.

[@rosshall6475]

I think you are putting the emphasis on the wrong syllable with "orichalcum".

[@walkerpierce5446]

Ore-Eee-Chal-Come or Ore-ih-Chal-Come

[@dquinn9482]

Orr-ree-cal-come* 😂

[@benjaminfletcher6632]

Was I the only thrown off the pronounciation of orichalculum? I want to give it a pass because there is a lot of comic book stuff that is just Gobbledygook. But orichalculum is in soooo many nerd thing: history, fantasy, games, and more. It's a real word. People think in ancient history its Brass with heavy Zinc or pure copper. Believe it or not, you can make a basic battery with either Copper and salt water or Zinc and salt water. Ancient people were mystified by that stuff. I imagine I would dazzle a few people now if I showed them how it worked haha
