After having his entire fortune and company seized through a corporate takeover, Iron Man is back on the path to reclaim Stark Unlimited and his reputation. However, Tony Stark’s company is once again up for grabs, with Roxxon and A.I.M. being the highest bidders. Now, a new preview of Iron Man's series is giving readers a glimpse of Iron Man’s new suit and his mission to reclaim his company for good.
With Feilong imprisoned on Mars, Stark’s first mission is to permanently pull Stark Unlimited out of the weapons manufacturing business.
However, Tony isn’t in control anymore and will have to do everything in his power to put down his corporate enemies once and for all.
Iron Man's New Armor is a Call to His Past
Iron Man (2024) - Written by Spencer Ackerman; Art by Julius Ohta
The new Iron Man armor is a clunky patchwork of metal plating, leather straps, and loosely exposed wiring.
Building himself back up with the scraps of his lost glory, a new angrier Iron Man is back on the scene and is ready to unleash the same furious ingenuity that birthed the first Iron Man armor. Tony Stark has spent years developing and refining his armor technology. What started as a patchwork of metal and basic propulsion rockets, the Iron Man armor has exceeded its original design by employing near-indestructible nanotechnology and a self-sustained energy source. However, the newest iteration of the Iron Man armor looks more like it's been built from an expensive box of scraps.
Iron Man's Marriage Officially Ends with the Perfect Tribute to His Former Wife
Emma Frost's parting request to Tony Stark perfectly closes the book on the X-Men's Krakoan Era, and the couple's marriage, as they part ways.
As seen in the first issue’s official cover art by Yasmine Putri, and the newly released variant cover by Philip Tan, the new Iron Man armor is a clunky patchwork of metal plating, leather straps, and loosely exposed wiring. Reminiscent of the steampunk aesthetic, the armor is something Stark has had to piece together from the scraps of his past suits. In Philip Tan’s variant cover, Stark is seen standing in front of a junk pile of broken and decommissioned armor, further proving that Tony has had to make do with salvaging pieces of his past to forge a new future.
Iron Man is Going Back to Basics
Tony Stark Doesn't Need Billions to Still Be Iron Man
Tony Stark doesn’t need billions of dollars to be Iron Man, just a bit of ingenuity and a compelling drive to do better.
It's poetic that in Tony Stark’s mission to reclaim his company and the legacy of the Stark name that he’s spent years trying to reestablish, he will have to depend on his ingenuity rather than his fortune, just as he did in that cave in Sin-Cong decades prior. Underneath the billionaire playboy routine that Tony keeps up, his persistence against unbalanced odds and his genuine cleverness are what make him the hero that readers love to see. Tony Stark doesn’t need billions of dollars to be Iron Man, just a bit of ingenuity and a compelling drive to do better.
Iron Man (2024) #1 will be available October 23 from Marvel Comics.
