welcome to stark archive - my personal dumping ground for iron man comic book moments.

brought to you by me! si! that's my name! pronounce it like sigh! i use all pronouns!

mostly i'm pulling from whatever i'm reading/rereading at the time, but if there's something you'd like to see, i'm all ears - my inbox is open for suggestions on what to post or shrimply talking comics. i try to be as transparent as possible on where i source everything, but you can always ask for more info in comments or my inbox.

this page will frequently reference rhodeytony and stevetony because i ship both. yall are pretty normal about shipping so i dont think i need to add more of a disclaimer than that. but stay aware! (and inbox me to talk about either! i fuckin love finding other rhodeytonys and stevetonys out there.) and i post a lot of solo rhodey stuff as well, because i love him and i want everyone else to love him too.

i encourage discussion in my comment sections and tags as long as we keep it civil. i probably love certain arcs/runs that you don't, you probably love a comic i can't stand. but we all love iron man around here... isnt that beautiful...

lastly, heed some standard content warnings for iron man comics: alcoholism, homelessness, death, ptsd, implied/referenced passive suicidal ideation, and non-graphic illustrated gore/injury. note that i will not tag these (except gore if the panel is particularly disturbing) because they are frequently referenced in the comics themselves.

It's the cave all over again. It's always about being a prisoner. It's always about the warlords. It's always about the cave. I deserved to be in that cave... But Spider-Man -- Miles -- is different. He's a good kid. He'll be a good man.

Shut up and listen. You got jerkin' people around down to a science -- and I'm sick to death of it. I've had it with cleaning up your messes and bein' your sidekick. Get yourself a new sucker. I'm through bein' your War Machine.

She hears, above the wail of plasma cannons, a song half-screamed... a song of victory, an alien hymn to warfare... composed on some distant, dark world. Jim Rhodes' voice is singing it.
