The next meeting of ICPL's Teen Comic Book Club will be on Thursday, September 25 in the Teen Center. We're discussing all things Iron Man. Pick any Iron Man comic to read and we'll geek out about it at the meeting. Need some ideas? Here are a few comics about Marvel's Armored Avenger:
Iron Man Season One - Re-tells the origin and early adventures of billionaire weapons manufacturer Tony Stark and his superpowered alter-ego, Iron Man.
Extremis - Extremis has created a new generation of twenty-first century technologies which threaten Earth, and it is up to Iron Man to save humankind.
Armor Wars - Tony discovers that the same technology he used to create the Iron Man armor is now in the hands of several deadly super-villains. In the face of objections from his friends and fellow super heroes, Stark swears to use the power of Iron Man to bring the evil to an end - and to take back what's his.
Enter the Mandarin - Iron Man battles the Mandarin, a Chinese revolutionary leader with strange powers acquired through alien technology who is bent on world domination.

I absolutely love the modern reboot trilogy of Planet of the Apes movies that began with "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." It was one of those rare trilogies where the entries kept getting better. I was intrigued when they announced another sequel. "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" takes place generations after the events of the previous three movies, and it's just as good: It features amazing special effects and a heartfelt story. I really hope they make more! -Brian
