Tony Stark rebuilds his legacy in Philip Tan’s Iron Man #1 foil cover

Posted on by

A brutal era of Iron Man begins this October! Making his Marvel Comics debut, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Spencer Ackerman will team up with rising star artist Julius Ohta to build an epic new run of Marvel’s Armored Avenger. Like all of Marvel’s major launches, Iron Man #1 will sport a special Foil Variant Cover that fans can see today. Drawn by acclaimed artist Philip Tan, the piece depicts Tony emerging from the rubble of his past suits in his new armor. Dubbed the “Improvised Iron Man,” fans will see it assembled throughout the series as Tony does what he does best—tinkering and upgrading it to counter anything the world throws at him.

Roxxon and A.I.M. team up to take on Stark Unlimited! But they’re ready for the old Tony Stark. This one? He’s a lot angrier than he used to be. Iron Man is going to war! He’s determined to never hit rock bottom again, his old enemies will face an Iron Man more than willing to fight back, play dirty, and unleash every bit of his intellect to bring them down! New armor, old enemies, and unbelievable twists abound in this fresh take on a fury-powered Iron Man!

Check out Tan’s cover and preorder Iron Man #1 at your local comic shop today. Stay tuned next week for the debut of the Iron Man #1 comic trailer!

Marvel’s Armored Avenger takes off for new adventures this October in Iron Man #1! The new hard-hitting run will be written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Spencer Ackerman in his exciting Marvel debut. Ackerman will be joined by rising star Julius Ohta.

Following the conclusion of Gerry Duggan’s Invincible Iron Man, Tony Stark is back on top after regaining control of his company, armor, and confidence. He’s determined to never hit rock bottom again, so when familiar threats like Roxxon and A.I.M. resurface, they’ll be met by an Iron Man more than willing to fight back, play dirty, and unleash every bit of his intellect to bring them down! When the best of his own technology fails him, Tony will build a brand-new armor unlike any seen in his over 60-year history. Dubbed the “Improvised Iron Man,” fans will see it assembled throughout the series as Tony does what he does best—tinkering and upgrading it to counter anything the world throws at him. The series will also debut a new Iron Monger, complete with a mysteriously-powered new armor…

Spencer Ackerman: Amanda Waller’s Kissinger-Sized Victory in Waller Vs Wildstorm

Posted on by

“Power doesn’t shatter on impact with journalism,” – Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Spencer Ackerman.

Ackerman returns to talk about the thrilling conclusion of his DC comics debut, Waller Vs. Wildstorm, the role of journalism in social movements, blogging antiwar protests, why Tim Drake is the best Robin, and share some of his favorite Wildstorm comics. 

For a spoiler-free introduction to the Waller Vs. Wildstorm miniseries, listen to our conversation back in March. Waller Vs. Wildstorm is Spencer’s DC Comics Black Label mini series with co-writer Evan Narcisse, artist Jesús Merino, and color artist Michael Atiyeh. It’s jawdroppingly good, even if you don’t know Wildstorm. It’s full of politics, espionage and Deathstroke on a jetski. This is an extremely Graphic Policy Radio series…

Waller vs. Wildstorm #3 is good as part of the story but doesn’t stand on its own

Posted on by

The island nation of Gamorra is eager for American investment even more eager for American metahuman weapons. Amanda Waller has just what they want: the Cybernary system. But the blood that her mercenaries spilled to get it has put her directly in Jackson King’s sights. Waller vs. Wildstorm #3 is interesting and delivers actions and surprises but doesn’t feel like it stands on its own to be enjoyed.

Waller vs. Wildstorm #2 is a dialed back issue that feels more like a play than superhero comic

Posted on by

The island nation of Gamorra is eager for American investment-and even more eager for American metahuman weapons. Amanda Waller has just what they want: the Cybernary system. But the blood that her mercenaries spilled to get it has put her directly in Jackson King’s sights. Waller vs. Wildstorm #2 is an intriguing issue that feels a bit like a courtroom drama.

The island nation of Gamorra is eager for American investment – and even more eager for American metahuman weapons. Amanda Waller has just what they want: the Cybernary system. But the blood that her mercenaries spilled to get it has put her directly in Jackson King’s sights – so now he’s in the sights of the deadly Deathstroke!
