Like any proper billionaire Tony Stark is expanding.
Look for a second Iron Man book in the All-New, All-Different Marvel Now by Invincible Iron Man writer Brian Michael Bendis who teased a second series yesterday.
Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso confirmed the second Iron Man related title today’s Axel-In-Charge CBR column and delivered a big tease about why the Armored Avenger’s story can’t be contained in one title:
“Brian and David [Marquez] are playing the long game with ‘Invincible Iron Man,'” Alonso explained. “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. ”
When Bendis takes on a flagship icon it usually comes in twos:
New and Mighty Avengers, Uncanny and All-New X-Men.
Alonso did not reveal the second book’s title or artist but delivered a major tease:
“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!”
With Invincible Iron Man Tony Stark will have new armor and a new mission: uncovering the mystery of his parentage. In the previous volume by Kieron Gillen, Tony learned he was adopted by Howard and Maria Stark.
What is the big reveal? We find out in October.
