I'd say the difference is that the level to which a person does something morally questionable and for me to still be invested in the character is that they need to be doing it for interesting reasons.
Walter White is a desperate person who realizes that they have been a bad person their entire life, and his descent into that internal hell is compelling.
Tony had a magic switch flipped and now he's a greedy bastard/worst version of himself, for no other reason than well now he just is. That's just kind of boring. Now he's a mostly bad guy who has made his technology analogous to a drug dealer. Unless there's more of a reveal later it just seems like the most boring angle on him being "inverted"
I'd be way more interested if there was some sort of compelling arc to his actions or some desperate need to do this stuff.
Well we are only a couple issues in at this point.
To be clear, I'm not doing some kind of hard sell on Superior Iron Man, I think it has potential but it's by no means a book I love or even a book im sure I'll keep reading.
To no one's surprise I'm sure the absolute best take on new Tony has been Hickman's in New Avengers.
Yeah, I'll still keep reading Superior at this point to see if it capitalises on its potential, but I can understand people being turned away. Meanwhile, while I've been enjoying Mighty Avengers, I still think it's poor timing to have the new Cap be Judge Dredd right out the gate.
He's himself in his own book
He is; I'm reading that too; but apparently AXIS hasn't happened yet in that series.

So I got my comics. Still no New Avengers so I had to read the summary for Avengers before going in. Excellent issue but one thing that I noticed
Namor isn't dead. Thanks either or most of the Cabal probably. Thanos was a given cause, well, Thanos, but Namor is on the cover to Secret Wars #1 with him.
I cannot even imagine how terrifyingly angry he is going to be now.

Lol if you aren't selling various bodily fluids to pay for your comic habit.
Seriously though it's so dang easy to get a huge list of stuff to read these days. Every time I manage to pare it down a bit, some new rad as shit comic comes out and weeeeellp looks like I'll be spending just as much or more again.
So the news store had a tiny selection of comics, as I expected, and no Star Wars
a sign in the window saying "OUT OF CHARLIE HEBDO", though
and a second one saying "NO RESERVATIONS"
*sigh*
So I ended up buying it digitally and a combination of it being on my monitor and them nailing the feel made it weird that it didn't kick in with the Star Wars theme at the splash logo.
As part of his cover's banter, Han casually mentions the Death Star's destruction to that imperial...
I think I've literally always assumed that the Death Star was highly classified and not public knowledge and that the Empire would've had a cover story handy for Alderaan's destruction.
I guess the Rebels would've leaked that information everywhere but in my mind it would've been perceived by the average citizen as Truther nuttery.

Well
A. The entire point of the Death Star to keep wayward systems in line through fear. It's hard to fear something if you don't know it exists.
B. The sheer amount of resources and personnel it would take to build that thing would make keeping it a secret a giant pain in the ass. Not to mention all the people it would take to staff it.
I'm not sure why I'm surprised canada sells charlie hebdo
Well it's a French language magazine so it obviously has an audience here and would be found in newsstands.
I'm pretty sure the cashier was telling someone on the phone they were out while I was in there, too. Kinda depressing how it's now the hottest thing in the world by virtue of pure zeitgeist. Butanywaythatsofftopicasfuck

I think its... nice they're getting some support. I can't think of people who'd need it more right now.

Uh, what?
Tarkin's whole rationale for destroying Alderaan in the movie is that it will serve as an example to the Death Star's (and by extension, the Empire's) absolute power over the Galaxy
If the existence of the Death Star were secret, that plan just doesn't work
If anything, they'd be trying to cover up the Death Star's destruction
Guess I need to put myself back in the "Evil Empire" mindset. Spent too much time around more realistic sci-fi I guess, forgot some stuff about how they operate.
