      Iron Man villain in continuity it’s almost considered a right of passage for villains to fight Spider-Man. With some even placing bets on wether or not a new villain could defeat the wall crawler, cause, “He always beats the new guys.” Being a forgotten Spider-Man villain is almost expected, being an Iron Man villain is just depressing.

      Justin Hammer is literally why he starts to drink himself in the story. If Hammer didn't set up Iron Man, Stark wouldn't undergo stress and wouldn't resort to drinking. And anyone who have read John Byrne's run knows that there would be no Iron Man without the Mandarin.

    Fun fact about Jarvis’ resignation letter. The version you are using blotted out the contents but in the original issue, it was word for word Dave Cockrum’s resignation letter with some words replaced. It was basically how the Marvel offi- I mean the Avengers used to be fun to work at but now has degraded to petty squabbling.

    To clarify, Tony does relapse much harder during Denny O'Neil's run on IM in the early 80s, and I think that arc is far more compelling
    Tony outright loses his company, Rhodey becomes Iron Man for a few years and Tony becomes a straight up wino in the gutters
    I would recommend reading that after Demon in a Bottle

Nobody calls Peter a wife beater, but to this day Hank is probably most well known for it... super weird

Demon in the bottle is for Iron Man what Born Again was for Daredevil or the Kid Who Collects Spider-Man was for Spidey, a story that not only is emotional and has great moments of the hero but also humanize Tony, showcasing his flaws, his fallen from grace and his struggle to rise up again. It's definitly one the best iron man stories ever made, and also one of the greatest comic book stories of all time.

    By biggest issue with Iron Man 3 (and I have a few) is about what it should have been. It should've taken from this story and been about Tony's alcoholism. But talking about that wouldn't have been too adult for Disney; and maybe too unsexy for mass audiences that probably don't think very negatively about excessive drinking, unless it leads to behavior that inconveniences them personally.
