Invicible Iron Man news

[laireshi]

There's been a lot of interviews with Bendis lately about his upcoming Tony solo (who else isn't over the news? I can't wait!).

The first issue will be out in October. Four months seems so long now.

What we know:
- he will be uninverted
- it will deal with SIM and the recent canon
- it will also deal with Gillen
- new supporting cast, new villains
- new armour which can adapt to be all the previous armours?
- Tony will be the central figure of the new Marvel universe
- ...probably something else I'm forgetting at the moment, tbh.

But the reason I'm making this post is this: a live chat with Bendis has just finished. And this is very relevant to all of us:
Bendis was asked if he'd touch on Tony's relationship with Steve. His answer?
"I like their relationship. I think they challenge each other in ways others cannot. With Steve's new status quo, there are new aspects to explore."



They have also posted concept art of the armour:

Of particular note, I like how in the first link, Bendis talks about his experience writing The Confession and how that reflects how he approaches Tony's character in a focused solo title rather than his usual team books (Avengers or GotG).

You forgot to list the USA Today interview.

*goes off to read the first interview link which I've not read yet*

I also like how he considers The Confession one of his best books. If this is the Tony he's going to give us...Well, I'm dead of feels.

Steve's new status quo means Steve stays old and I don't read Marvel comics. I mean what the hell? Why? I am excited about Tony and all that goes with it. But why the hell does Steve have to be old? So no, I am not happy about that part at all. :(

[salmastryon.livejournal.com]

I get you, I'm not particularly happy about the old part. Well, to be more specific the likelihood this means his book is still in remender's hands and he'll probably stay old as long as he's writing the book. But, I'm happy that Steve and Tony's relationship will show up in Invincible Iron Man.

[laireshi]

But he's still Steve and he'll still get to interact with Tony and hopefully fix what got broken between them.

I am so, so excited for this. I love Tony and feel like he's finally in good hands again. :)

[laireshi]

Me too :) What gets to me is that Bendis really, honestly likes Tony. When was the last time any Iron Man writer did?

I want to upvote this comment

[digitalwave]

I know I sure can't remember. The more I read, the more excited I get about the new series. :)

I really like that armour design! Especially the faceplate. The faceplates on Tony's suit almost always look really odd to me when they're retracted, but this one looks badass whether it's down OR up! I like! (also that sketch of him in midair YAY man I wish I had an iron man suit)

The more I hear the more I like it! :D

yaaay~ *spins about happily*

Man, that morphing armor sounds really interesting. So much potential!

[laireshi]

Right? I Hope we'll see some old armours^^

[teyke.livejournal.com]

Yes! I really like the default look of it, but I'm also really hoping we get to see a bunch of old armours appearing as needed for whatever special gadget or feature it had. Or maybe just because. (Virus infecting the armour to make it fritz and continually morph? Fic ideas!)
