Tony Stark Goes Back To Basics In New Iron Man Series

A new creative team brings a new #1 this September as Marvel Comics has announced a new Iron Man series coming from writer Christopher Cantwell and artist Cafu. Iron Man #1 brings Tony Stark back to basics with a brand new armor designed by Alex Ross. Marvel released a trailer to promote the new series.

I’m over the moon about getting a shot at writing the Golden Avenger. Since Bob Layton’s art in the 1980s captured my imagination as a kid, I’ve been fascinated by Iron Man, and in this new story run I’m aiming to explore the question: who should Iron Man be today? An angel? A god? Or just a humble man? Tony’s going to try and strip the idea of Iron Man all the way down to its metal core, something that will constantly be at odds with his giant ego. We’ll see if he can truly keep his arrogant self-image in check, even as others with god complexes set their sights on the entire universe.

The new series picks up with Tony putting away his high-tech toys and high-profile image to get his hands dirty again. Just how long can keep his massive ego down? If you strip a billionaire down to his nuts and bolts, does he run solid? Or overheat?
Iron Man #1 is set for release in September 2020.
