“Make it work! No seriously, how do you make it fly and shoot missiles?”
Marvel Comics is making a comic book about Fashion Week in New York City in which Tim Gunn of “Project Runway” will don the Iron Man suit. This is actually happening, people. From the New York Times:
On Aug. 26, Marvel will release the first issue of “Models Inc.,” a sartorially minded mini-series that unites some of its fashion-friendly supporting characters and pushes them into new starring roles. The runway divas include Millicent Collins (a k a Millie the Model), Patsy Walker, also known as the superheroine Hellcat, and Mary Jane, the model-turned actress who is the sometimes wife of Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man.
But what would [they] be without someone to guide them? Enter Tim Gunn of “Project Runway.” In the debut issue’s second story, Mr. Gunn becomes an action figure — jumping into Iron Man’s suit of armor to save a fashion exhibition from evildoers.
Sounds like a great idea. When I think about the bitchy women and gay men who love fashion, I think about how much they all love comic books. But can we do something about this Iron Man suit, people? I need something a little more slimming, and red and gold is SO last season.

This will be a hot mess.
He’ll make it work.
Dude’s last name is Gunn.
Mary Jane, the model-turned actress who is the sometimes wife of Peter Parker
QUESADAAAAA!!!
10 bucks says there’s a panel of Spiderman asking “does this suit make my butt look big?”
No, no this should work just fine. He doesn’t like girls, and most comic book people never actually talk to girls so there’s common ground.
If the suit doesn’t have nipples, this comic is dead to me!
Marvel, do you have no shame? Next you’ll have Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in a comic together. That suit had better not be pink, either.
But think of the children who’s vocabulary will only jump by leaps and bounds (okay maybe a touch of prancing and haute couture runway turns). Next thing you know they will be telling you that the purple makes Barney look zoftig
