New Captain America and Iron Man solo titles announced
This could be saved for the newsletter, but I think it's big enough news for its own separate reaction/discussion post. (There's a lot of news coming out today on the MCU end of things too! When the Entertainment Weekly article actually releases we should discuss that more in-depth as well :) )
Spoilers under the cut!
From this article:
"In November, Superior Iron Man #1 sends Tony Stark to San Francisco with a new outfit and a new perspective on life. “The Genius Bar costume is there for a reason,” Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso tells EW. “The newly-transformed Superior Iron Man has very ambitious plans for the city that some of its residents embrace, but not all.” Comic book fans will note the very pointed addition of the word “Superior” to the title. The last time that happened, it was Superior Spider-Man, and Doctor Octopus took over Peter Parker’s brain. Doc Ock won’t be invading Tony’s frontal lobe, but Alonso does note, “Like the Superior Spider-Man, Superior Iron Man is a character that’s hard to root for.” The series is written by Tom Taylor and drawn by In a series written by Tom Taylor and drawn by Yildiray Cinar.
Also in November comes All-New Captain America #1. As has been hinted elsewhere, Steve Rogers will find himself unable to take up the mantle of Captain America, leaving someone else to put on the stars and stripes in his place. Because the new Cap appears to be African-American, most experts think it will be Sam Wilson, a.k.a. the Falcon, Cap’s friend and longtime partner. Alonso doesn’t confirm or deny, though he does note that the character in the image above has “what appears to be something that allows him the gift of flight.” He also says that All-New #1—written by Rick Remender and with art by Stuart Immonen—will be “very much a jumping-on point [for people] who both like the Captain America and really enjoyed the second Captain America movie.” (Which featured Anthony Mackie as the Falcon.)"
All I can comment at this point Steve/Tony wise is that while Steve is certainly still around (see the cover for Avengers #35), the phrasing of the Iron Man announcement leaves no clue on how Tony is doing, assuming the Superior Iron Man takes more than just a title from Superior Spider-Man and has someone replacing Tony.
EDIT: Here is more information on both titles
Remender Discusses Redefining a Legend In "All-New Captain America"
Tony Stark Transforming, Too: Iron Man to Unleash 'Dark' Tech on San Fran
Say Hello to the Superior Iron Man
Anyway! Thoughts? Reactions? Theories on how this ties into the end of Original Sin and Avengers/New Avengers? Etc?
