SUPERIOR IRON MAN Series and Avengers NOW! Initiative Announced

Find out who's behind Tony Stark's new direction and what Avengers NOW! is all about.

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."

Marvel also provided EW with an image promoting the Marvel NOW! initiative. According to site, all of the characters in the picture will begin to play a large role in the Marvel universe.

Scarlet Witch gets more focus ? Count me in! I was worried about the female Thor (mainly because I dodn't understand why she had to be called Thor, it's a name, not a mantle...), but Jason Aaron said Thor Odinson would still be featured in the book, so it's good. The art worries me though. Not really on par with Ribic's. I don't know about Iron Man, might check it out, but the new armor isn't that great. As for Cap Falcon ? Why not. But he should have kept the goattee ^^. And if he actually keeps his wings that's awesome ! :)

Tom Taylor.
So is he "type-casted" or is it just me? Every book he has written is about heroes with controversial decisions.

I like this one.

Thor is going to face one hell of a development and I like the new Unworthy Thor version. And the new Thor means that we are going to see more Frigg in the future.

Then we have a Captain America with wings lol I love the idea.

I've never been an IronMan fan but if this means that he's going to have a Superior Spider Man modus operandi then I'm going to like the idea.

Then please Marvel, give Angela a new design.
