HALT & CATCH FIRE Creator Christopher Cantwell Relaunching IRON MAN For Marvel Comics
I’ve got some exciting Marvel Comics news for all you Iron Man fans! The co-creator and writer of Halt & Catch Fire, Christopher Cantwell, is teaming up with artist CAFU to relaunch Iron Man and it will feature a brand new armor design by legendary comics artist Alex Ross.
This new volume follows the bleeding-edge, A.I.-centric "Iron Man 2020" saga that was overseen by Dan Slott, and the story brings Tony Stark back to his roots as an inventor playing around with some new tech while setting aside some of the advanced technology utilized in some of his previous Iron Man suits.
Here’s a description that was shared by Marvel:
Tony is putting away his high-tech toys and high-profile image so he can get his hands dirty again. But can he really lay that Stark-sized ego down? Life isn’t always that simple, something that old friends and frustrating foes are quick to point out. If you strip a billionaire down to his bolts, does he run solid…or just overheat?
Cantwell offered the following statement:
“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."
Iron Man #1 is due out in September. Marvel has also released a trailer for the new volume of Iron Man. This is gonna be great!
