Tony Stark is the Iron Man falling back to Earth.

 

After two arcs of outer space adventures writer Kieron Gillen is bringing Iron Man back home. After exploring The Secret Origin of Tony Stark Gillen teases what’s next on Marvel.com.

 

“#16 and #17, this is what Tony brings back from space. Tony has changed and stuff has changed on Earth. That’s what is really interesting to me. It’s the classic journey. You send someone away and they learn and bring stuff back. There’s sort of an odyssey vibe in it, where he discovers some things about himself. Of course, time continues back on Earth and in the Marvel Universe, Tony has been back on Earth for his day job. He has been back on Earth briefly running [the Illuminati] in INFINITY. It’s not like he was socializing down there. He was working. It’s like me going to New York and not seeing any of my friends when I’m visiting Marvel. Now he’s back on Earth as a human being. I don’t include any of the NEW AVENGERS or INFINITY stuff in IRON MAN as I just do it straight. He’s going to go back and ask, “What’s all this about twerking? What’s all this about now?” [Laughs]
It’s fun. Being back on Earth opens up a lot of classic fun, Tony Stark dealing with humans stuff. It’s fun to write.”

 

Iron Metropolitan is the next big arc from Gillen and Land.
