Gillen is leaving Iron Man
I think that's important news to this comm.
So. Gillen ends his current arc and leaves Iron Man (as he wrote on his tumblr).
Any feelings? Tears of joy? Surprised "finally"? Also, how do you think, when will we know who's the next writer? Any wishes and hopes who it could be?

My top pick to take over would be Al Ewing. Fatal Frontier was fantastic and the best solo Iron Man in a very long time. He's currently writing Mighty Avengers and Loki: Agent of Asgard, and I don't think 3 books is out of the question to write. Fatal Frontier was rather whimsical and cracky with darker, more serious undertones, and I'd be ecstatic if I got the chance to read more IM in that vein.
Jason Aaron just left Amazing X-Men (which I'm sad about because it's easily been one of the most fun titles Marvel has put out in a long time), which leaves him with Thor and one of his own titles. I don't know if he'd try for something lofty and epic like with his early Thor or something more down-to-earth and fun like some of his other titles, including AXM, but I'd be interested in seeing him give IM a shot.
As long as he doesn't do to Tony what he did to Thanos - but at least Tony is already a firmly established character...Waid is leaving Hulk, which leaves him with Daredevil and a title for another company. His IM would probably be simpler but fresh, which might be a good idea, not to mention fun to read.
And too bad Hickman is done with Marvel for the time being after his Avengers run is over, because he writes Tony with a certain gravitas which admittedly may be more difficult to read in a solo book, but could be some of the most unique IM ever written. I'm thinking his hypothetical IM would have a similar tone as the later v4, Director of SHIELD stuff but on a more epic scale.
Also, I'm hoping this means Remender leaves Cap soon too...wishful thinking, I know...

Sad to hear, but hey, maybe he can change his mind...? His wording wasn't too final.

Also, if Hickman is leaving Avengers and Gillen is moving to an "enormous opportunity" that's "utterly irresistible"...

But Gillen is a jerk in general and I'm sure he's going to ruin whatever he moves onto next. At least there's a chance I'll be able to buy Tony's book again now. I've missed him.
