Action Tuesday: Iron Jonah

The Phantom's spent the last couple of months (well, not really, it just seems that long) showing off his collection of stolen treasures to a woman whose memory he's going to erase anyway, and I can't remember the last time anyone in Dick Tracy was suddenly and horrifically killed, but even if that weren't the case there's still only one comic that would have my attention today, and that's The Amazing Iron Jonah. I mean Spider-Man.

Oh my god, Iron Jonah. Not just the best super hero but the best thing.

So, J Jonah Jameson donated some money to Tony Stark's favourite charity, and in return Tony let him borrow an old Iron Man suit fitted up to be operated by remote control. JJJ wanted to use it to track down Spider-Man (because he's a menace!) but Spidey broke the remote control and got away.

But J Jonah Jameson doesn't give up that easily. With Tony out of town, there was no one to prevent triple-J steamrolling over the protests of Stark Industries employees and having the suit returned to its original condition. Pausing only to draw his trademark Hitler moustache on the face, Jonah suited up and took off to look for Spider-Man, and also smash a bunch of stuff.

This alone would be one of the greatest things ever to happen in The Amazing Spider-Man, but there are two more little details that are just the icing on the cake. The first is that Jonah misunderstood the safety instructions and is going to fly too fast, and the second is a tank. Actually I guess that's not such a little detail. Iron Jonah is going to fight a tank.

Up in the sky: J Jonah Jameson, in Iron Man's original armor...
"The minute I spot Spider-Man — he's toast!" roars Jonah as he hurtles through the sky at terrifying speeds.
On the ground: A tank  operated by two daring bank robbers...
"See, Spike?" says one bank robber as they plow through a bulding. "Nobody can stop this getaway 'car'!"

Meanwhile, Peter Parker is taking the day off to watch some TV.
