'Diesel Sweeties' Does 'Iron Man'

When art imitates art you have... a potential lawsuit?

With all of the Iron Man hype fading, I thought it would be worth pointing out one of my new favorite shout-outs to the film that popped up in my daily reading list.

In this strip, Diesel Sweeties mastermind R. Stevens manages to take a jab at both Stan Lee and everyone's favorite drunken industrialist turned armor-plated superhero. Titled "Radical to the Extremis," it's another example of why I enjoy DS so very much: not only does Stevens have some traditional comics savvy, but he's also honest-to-jeebus hilarious.

You can read this strip and others at dieselsweeties.com, and be sure to check out my Diesel Sweeties interview with R. Stevens that ran previously on ComicMix.
