Marvel Comics has released a preview for this Wednesday’s Iron Man #1, teasing a brand new direction for the Armored Avenger.
Marvel Comics has released a preview for Iron Man #1 from the creative team of Christopher Cantwell (Doctor Doom) and CAFU, which arrives in comic shops this Wednesday, Sept. 16. The pages showcase the Armored Avenger in a battle with Terrax the Terrible; the ensuing fight sends them crashing into a satellite. As he fights, Tony talks to his new AI — B.O.S.S — about withdrawing from Stark Industries and “getting back to his roots”.
Getting back to Iron Man’s roots has served as the center of Cantwell’s vision for the series. To that end, Tony is donning a new suit of armor designed by veteran artist Alex Ross (who also created the cover) and facing classic threats, including the cosmically-powered Michael Korvac.

- Tony Stark is looking to restart his engine. He decides he’s going back to basics, putting away his high-tech toys and high-profile image so he can get his hands dirty again. It’s time to dig into the guts of real machines, put on some old-fashioned metal and fly.
- But can he really lay that Stark-sized ego down? Life isn’t that simple, something that old friends and frustrating foes are quick to point out. If you strip down a billionaire to his bolts, does he run solid or just overheat?
- Tony’s going to find out once a threat to the entire universe rears its head from the past. As he suits up again, Tony remains sure of one thing: he’s still IRON MAN down to his flesh and blood core.
- 40 PGS./Rated T+ …$4.99
Written by Christopher Cantwell and illustrated by CAFU, Iron Man #1 goes on sale this Sept. 16 from Marvel Comics.
