When Marvel announced Thor will be female, the publisher listed its big three as the God of Thunder, Captain America and Iron Man. Last night, a new Captain America was announced, so it was only logical that a big change would be heading to Tony Stark's world next. Announced via Entertainment Weekly, SUPERIOR IRON MAN will send the Avenger to San Francisco and he'll have an all-new armor. The series will begin in November and it's written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Yildiray Cinar.
Axel Alonso, Marvel's Editor-in-Chief, shared additional info on Stark's new ongoing. “The newly-transformed Superior Iron Man has very ambitious plans for the city that some of its residents embrace, but not all.” Alonso also remarked on the title's name and whether it has any similarities to SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN. “Like the Superior Spider-Man, Superior Iron Man is a character that’s hard to root for.” Over at Mashable, they have a few extra details on the plot. They say Tony is releasing a mobile app -- one that'll use a version of Extremis -- which will allegedly offer people "the promise of beauty, perfection... and possibly immortality."
