I'm squeeing toO hard to react.
I POSTED THAT I WANTED IT MONTHS AGO AND IT'S HAPPENING I'M SO HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I particularly like this quote  "Everything that has happened to Tony is in continuity and will be reflected in the new series." Because hopefully that means if Secret Wars doesn't deal with the fall out this series will.

I just hope it means he'll be uninverted and really sad about what's happened.

*nods* This!

[salmastryon.livejournal.com]

he is uninverted and part of the story will be him rebuilding his life after that according to the article I linked below.

I'M SCREAMING OMG YAY I AM SO HAPPYYYYYYY

[laireshi]

Me too! And I still can't quite believe THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.

[navaan]

I'm so relieved and damn it this is really awesome!

[laireshi]

Right? It's like all the dreams came true. Now only to wait till autumn!

Oooooh. I am so excited by this news! If the man who gave us Civil War: The Confession can't fix what Remender did to Tony, then who at Marvel can?

...

Actually, scratch that, because I would also put a lot of faith in DeConnick after that Avengers Assemble issue where Tony and Bruce make a bet.

[laireshi]

I KNOW. I'm so happy he's doing it! I'm expecting a lot of Tony tears and angst and fixing things *_*

I'm SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT! :D

It looks like it is goign to be interesting and he's going to focus more on Tony as an inventor. Which we haven't seen a lot of recently. Things have been more focused on Tony the businessman I think.

:) I'm still not over the news!

Some quotes of interest form the above article

The writer wasn't convinced himself until he watched a cut of 2013's Iron Man 3 film, where the ending had Downey's Stark looking at a little screwdriver found in the rubble of his wrecked Malibu mansion and smiling, knowing he'd build his life back up again.

"I loved that shot so much. Everything was destroyed, everything's over. He picks up his screwdriver and knows exactly what he needs to do next," says Bendis, who's even written in the screwdriver into the upcoming comic.

"It's like a brand-new kind of technology but it still brings out the classic Iron Man. You just get all the Iron Mans at once, plus some new ones," says Bendis,

In addition to his weaponry, Iron Man's also getting a larger cast of characters, many of them new. Fans of Stark pals Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan will get to see them again at some point, but Bendis says he is instead focusing on introducing folks such as a love interest "who is smarter than him," the writer says. "He can't just be snarky Tony Stark and woo her. He's got to earn her, and even that's a challenge.

"The fact that he has to says a lot: 'Well, maybe I'm not as cool as I think am.' "


The writer admits that it's hard to not think about Downey when writing an Iron Man comic because the actor has made the character such a pop-culture icon. "My favorite part of Robert's performance is the intensity in the lab, that alone time. That is unique to all other superheroes, him trying to figure it out, and that part of the character is what I focus on more than the voice."

One of the challenges of writing Tony Stark is "he's smarter than me," Bendis says, and he's like a lot of higher-intellect guys where "they already know what the conversation is before you have it. Robert Downey Jr. does that perfectly, and I do that as well but a little different.

"Every line of dialogue from another character is a setup for him to say something witty, and when he says it, it's kind of a defense mechanism. And when he doesn't engage in witticisms, that's the stuff I find the most interesting."

That first quote took me from vaguely positive to YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! I am definitely looking forward to this now, is it autumn yet?!

[yohkobennington.livejournal.com]

I FUCKING SCREAMED.
OMG YES YES YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an appropriate reaction :)
*screams with you* A GOOD TONY BOOK TO COME

Yes!!! I was so worried about what they had in store for Tony. This actually gives me hope and I might just have to return to the comic book store in order to keep up with IM's new exploits.

[laireshi]

Me too! I actually haven't had a chance to follow an IM run I'd enjoy -- I caught up with comics when it was Gillen -- so I'm really looking forward to it.

[slb44.livejournal.com]

For me it's been many years, perhaps decades since I read a decent IM run, so you can imagine how I feel. *g*

[laireshi]

Oh god, yes. But hey, have you read Iron Man Fatal Frontier? It was just a miniseries (um, I can't remember now, 12 issues I think?), published only digitally at first, and it had awesome Tony. The best Iron Man title since Director of SHIELD, imo.
(BUT NOW BENDIS COMES!)
