Second Iron Man series from Bendis?

Those of you following Bendis' tumblr probably saw his post where he said:


man, the launch of iron man is going so well, i might have to launch another!


Apparently he wasn't only teasing. An interview with Axel Alonso on CBR:


Moving to some Marvel news from this week -- Brian Michael Bendis broadly hinted on Tumblr that he may be working on a second "Iron Man" title. Can you confirm anything regarding that at this point?

Alonso: Brian and David are playing the long game with "Invincible Iron Man." When Brian pitched us, he said there was an idea for a sister-title that would spin out of the first germinating in his brain.

What does it say, to you, that Iron Man is a character that Marvel now has enough faith in to handle two series from a top writer? Clearly, he's become huge over the past few years, largely due to the Marvel Studios films, but within comics, it' still surprising to see him at a Spider-Man or Batman level in supporting multiple titles. What convinced Marvel that Iron Man merited a second book?

Alonso: Brian did. [Laughs] I can't say much, but I will say this: The reveal on the last page of "Invincible Iron Man" #1 is big enough that it might need an entire series just to deal with. Retailers -- plan accordingly!



What do you think? Are you excited?

I keep telling myself don't hope, you'll only end up disappointed, but it's not working. I AM VERY EXCITED I WANT MORE.
(I also want it to be about Ult Tony.)

Wow, I'm really so excited about this. Finally they trust in the character to give them good numbers on more than one title at a time. Took them long enough.

I do hope it's going to be fun, whatever else it brings!
