Marvel’s Armored Avenger takes off for new adventures this October in IRON MAN #1! The new hard-hitting run will be written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Spencer Ackerman (Reign of Terror; DC’s Waller vs. Wildstorm) in his exciting Marvel debut. Ackerman will be joined by rising star Julius Ohta (Hellverine, Alien).Following today’s conclusion of Gerry Duggan’s Invincible Iron Man, Tony Stark is back on top after regaining control of his company, armor, and confidence. He’s determined to never hit rock bottom again, so when familiar threats like Roxxon and A.I.M. resurface, they’ll be met by an Iron Man more than willing to fight back, play dirty, and unleash every bit of his intellect to bring them down! When the best of his own technology fails him, Tony will build a brand-new armor unlike any seen in his over 60-year history. Dubbed the “Improvised Iron Man,” fans will see it assembled throughout the series as Tony does what he does best—tinkering and upgrading it to counter anything the world throws at him. The series will also debut a new Iron Monger, complete with a mysteriously-powered new armor…Roxxon and A.I.M. team up to take on Stark Unlimited! But they’re ready for the old Tony Stark. This one? He’s a lot angrier than he used to be. Iron Man is going to war! New armor, old enemies, and unbelievable twists abound in this fresh take on a fury-powered Iron Man!“Winning a Pulitzer is cool and all, but it’s not writing for Marvel Comics,” Ackerman shared. “And to write IRON MAN is a very specific dream come true. A lot of comics’ best creators have used Iron Man to tell big stories about security and freedom – with a whole lot of super hero action, of course – and I can’t wait to build on their legacy.”
On how his esteemed career in journalism prepared him to take on Tony Stark’s specific complexities, Ackerman added, “In my day job reporting on national security, I’ve covered the real-life equivalents of the Stark Expo, watched experimental weapons in action, seen their impact on human beings, and tracked the massive wealth they generate for a select few. Tony struggles with challenges – and is sure about to struggle with challenges – that I’ve covered for years. Only now I can write about them the way I’ve always wanted to: in a super hero universe!”

>>144544605I’m interested.So glad Duggan’s run was over, I was so tired of Iron Man being an X-Men book.
>>144544605>#1Why do they do this?
Hate that armor design for 616 Tony. It's a great Elseworlds design, though.Def gonna check the book out, though, with Duggan finally gone.
Wow, look, another commie fag writing Iron Man. Guess he's still going to be a C-Lister then.
>>144544699>elseworldsFuck off casual
>>144544742Casuals don't know about Elseworlds.
>>144544723He is a b-lister
>>144544605here is an article this writer wrote about Iron Man back in 2008 mostly about the film it should tell you all you need to know about what he going to do in this run but the answer is mostly ape of the O'Neil runhttps://prospect.org/article/iron-man-versus-imperialists/
>>144544697cus the previous guy is donethe fuck?
EMMA YOU TEMPTRESS WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO STARK??
>>144544803on his way to be a c-lister
>>144544765You’re thinking of normies. Casuals like you use “elseworlds” as a monicker for all out of continuity comics despite the fact that it was a very specific line of comics from DC which until recent revival was dormant for the better part of 2 decades.
>>144544803you are going to need to add Duggan onto the image anon
>>144544902Nèeeeeerd
>>144544605>>144544610Huh, sounds pretty neat. Not entirely sold on the armour -- seems way too steampunk for a mainline book -- but the premise alone sounds better than the mutantshit that Duggan's run was mired down in from the times I looked at it.Is Ackerman's work elsewhere any good? Not heard of him before.
>>144544915as I said faggot>fuck off casual
>Stark-Roxxon WarSadly with no Dario Chadger around
>>144544914I didn't made it, I just take them from 4chan a few years ago. There are 5, about iron man writers.
>>144544942>Is Ackerman's work elsewhere any goodNo. Waller vs wildstorm was just storytimed the other day and it was lackluster at best.
>>144544955Agger would be too based a villain. Besides, Ewing probably has dibs on using him.>>144544967Ah, that's a bit of a shame. I'll wait to see how this Iron Man turns out, at least.
>>144544955he could always be brought back
>>144544955>>144544990He was just in today's Iron Man finale>>144544596
>>144545012that could just take place before that Immortal Thor storyline though
>>144544605>>144544610>>144544621This nigga can't be an Avenger with an armor like that
>>144545023Sure, but that seems unlikely when Dario "died" months ago And it's not even the first time he's died
>>144544833She wanted to stay, but Brevoort said no, but still they are married and she is still Emma Frost-Stark.Muties and Stark cant have happy endings.Now watch Ackerman bringing Pepper Potts back from the dead as Tony's interest AGAIN when she is a widower, and last run almost had her and Patsy scissoring behind Stark until Patsy became Mephisto's Sloppy Seconds.
>>144544697?
>>144544605Alright, but more importantly. Who will he fuck in this run?
>>144544605>>144544610>>144544621Looks so bad.
>>144544605>Tony will build a brand-new armor unlike any seen in his over 60-year history. Dubbed the “Improvised Iron Man,” fans will see it assembled throughout the series as Tony does what he does best—tinkering and upgrading it to counter anything the world throws at him.Might be a fun gimmick.
>>144544610I thought Zeke Stane was the new Iron Monger?
>>144545198The Avengers has Captain America and Hawkeye....
This guy is a retarded radical leftist and his last comic sucked, so of course Marvel hired him
>>144547185No one has really wanted to use Zeke Stane or Sasha Hammer since Fraction left
>>144544605>Tony is AngryI hope they explain why. He doesn't really have a reason to be any Angrier than normal. Duggan kinda start with a Tony who wasn't able to connect with Humanity. Idk what this means but I'm interested. Armor design is neat bit seems a bit of a down grade from what's come before.
>>144547318tbf no one really bothered trying to use Iron Man villains since fractions run
>>144547318Nobody except Ta-Nehisi Coates for some reason, so he used Zeke Stane a few times in his Black Panther and Captain America runs.>>144547433Iron Man writers not using existing Iron Man villains has been a problem for decades. It's why his rogue's gallery is so underdeveloped and many of them are just suits of armor that have been used by several different people.
>>144544610A sword?
>>144544605>When the best of his own technology fails him, Tony will build a brand-new armor unlike any seen in his over 60-year history. Dubbed the “Improvised Iron Man,” fans will see it assembled throughout the series as Tony does what he does best—tinkering and upgrading it to counter anything the world throws at him. The series will also debut a new Iron Monger, complete with a mysteriously-powered new armor…Feels kind of weird for Tony to go from "his most powerful armor yet" made out of Mysterium to this.
>>144547529tbf a writer debuffing tony at the start of a run is par for the course these days
>>144547529Happens all the time. Remember Extremis? Or the Superior Iron Man armor? Or the Bendis nano-machine armor?
>>144547544Tbh, all of those "best ever ultimate armors" are just redundant after Extremis.
>>144544605I'm digging that the armor looks a bit more low tech this time.
>>144544605>>144544610>>144544621The write's yet another retarded leftie, but I'm kinda intrigued about this. Him trying to do more boardroom politics alone is making me give him the benefit of the doubt. Iron Man shouldn't be a typical capebook, and the last decade that's all his books have been. I'll give it a few issues. It may just be me being an Ironfag who hasn't liked a vol since Fraction, but at the very least it sounds better than the trash we've been getting the last few years.
>>144545488>Now watch Ackerman bringing Pepper Potts back from the deadShe died? What happened?
>>144547449>Iron Man writers not using existing Iron Man villains has been a problem for decades. It's why his rogue's gallery is so underdeveloped and many of them are just suits of armor that have been used by several different people.Also when they do bother to use actual Iron Man villains they very frequently just use them as interchangeable, disposable jobbers who are easily beaten because they don't get to have the same power creep the heroes get, and so many writers treat "superhero fighting a supervillain" like something they're reluctantly obliged to occasionally include in an issue but it's just a brief one-sided fight scene, it's not the main story.
>>144549050She probably died since that she was completely missing from Orchis shenanigans while Tony was on the run and Rhodes was in jail.and her last appearance was before this began
>>144544605>>144544610Why do they keep downgrading his armor with every new writer?>>144544699Seriously. It looks like it would be fitting for a steampunk Iron Man or even an Industrial Revolution Iron Man but not for 616 Tony
>>144544605>Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
>>144547449The problem with Iron Man villains is that the good ones people would rather use for other superheroes and all of Tony's most popular choices of an arch are already Avengers in general tier threats or reserved for a different team with history Tony could never compete with *cough* Doctor Doom *cough*
>>144544902Yeah, and Nimrod was the name of a mighty hunter. Fuck you, Bugs Bunny!
>>144544605The armours keep getting worse...
looks gay
