IRON MAN
Where they can get in trouble here is by repeating story lines all over again just for the sake of the new readership, which may or may not stick with the title. By this I mean the character defining arcs like ‘Demon in the Bottle,’ ‘Extremis’ and ‘Enter the Mandarin.’ I’m sure they going to be doing all new stories but it’s going to be hard for them to revisit the character provided they’re looking to ground it in the movie interpretation of the character. I think what most non-comic readers will be looking for in a new Iron Man title is just him having different suits and fighting a lot of different villains (IE: the ‘typical’ superhero fair), but I’d like to see focus on the story as a character piece. Sure action is a very welcome addition, but let’s not get carried away and make it the center piece.
Likelihood of happening: Guaranteed to happen. CBR confirmed in an interview with Axel Alonso and Tom Brevoort that Iron Man will be getting a shiny new #1.
