Current Iron Man Issues...or semi-current

I'm still unable to find a regular comic supplier since Marvel is no longer supplying bookstores with single issues. However, they do still receive graphic novels so I was able to read the issue that came after the last issue I actually found in Iron Man - Volume 3: The Secret Origin of Tony Stark - Book 2.

Has anyone else read this? Have opinions?

SPOILERS

So, Howard and Maria's unborn son was going to die (from unnamed complications) unless an alien intervened but the alien had his own motivations and changed the fetus into a being that would suit his plans later to destroy the universe...

Howard, being Howard, suspected something and also altered the fetus...

When the baby was born, it required an iron lung and still wasn't expected to live so he was shipped off to a nursing home away from the alien's reach and the Starks adopted Tony...

Yeah, I don't know...
I do love that they're still trying to find ways to keep things fresh and I am intrigued about whether he tries to find his real parents aka let the fanfics about Tony finding out he has a secret sibling he already knows finally have some canon evidence...

However, it also seems a little cheap. Tony is just utterly Howard and Maria, from his looks to his temperament to his vices and addictions. We also still barely got any Maria. I really love a comic, show or film where we're able to really get to know Maria and how she was the one to get Howard.

I also don't think I'll be adding this to my "Friends" story. I already thought I was pushing things to have Pepper be secretly adopted and then, there was Kate and now...yeah no.


Also, my mom is currently watching Iron Man 3 for the first time.

No, we used to have one but it closed...a lot of them closed...those who live in the larger cities are so lucky.
Now, they're all at least an hour away and usually closed on Mondays when we have the day off except on rare occasions like holidays.

She went to bed before I could ask but I'll find out everything tomorrow.
