Marvel has finally revealed the post-Iron Man 2020 status quo for Tony Stark and it has lead to something most of us comic book fans saw coming; a brand-new Iron Man #1. That's right, the Iron Avenger is going to headline a new series with a different creative team in acclaimed TV writer Christopher Cantwell and acclaimed artist CAFU. As if that wasn't enough to get Tony Stark stans excited, Marvel has also unveiled a brand-new armor design for Tony from none other than Alex Ross. Awesome.
The status quo of this new series is putting the Man back in Iron Man, with Tony supposedly "going back to his roots," after a difficult few months. Apparently, Tony is going to try to step away from having an overly technical armor set this time, which he is constantly going to fight with himself about. It looks like we're in for one of the more interesting arcs in Tony's life, that's for sure.
Cantwell had this to say about working on the new Iron Man series (via Marvel.com):
No matter how you feel about Iron Man, you have to feel good about the fact that this isn't an arc where someone steals Tony's tech and he has to take it back. That's an annoying trope that has followed this character for the longest time so here's hoping Cantwell manages to come up with some fun adventures.
Iron Man #1 hits comic book stores this September.
