As said before, the red will be missed...
But the suit is looking nice, and considering that Land is doing the pencils, the book is looking that way too.
I do miss the red :( But with that said, the way this interior art looks and the little readout we've been given, makes me have new faith in the NOW concept. Full speed ahead I say!
color me crazy, but why carry liquid metal in a briefcase? LIQUID METAL! If he is going to do that, why not carry around a giant Gatorade jug? Laugh at me, but i was a fan of the X-men, and only followed Iron Man in the old animated series, but was there ever a time where he carried it in a case where the armor was paper thin until he put it on? That would be more believable than carrying around a case of goo which turns him into a killing machine. And if you notice, it is gray in the case, but gold and black when he puts it on. he has control of the colors? Does that mean he can turn it PINK?!?!?! HAAHAH

@sora_thekey: what is new armor called ?
I honestly don't know, but it does resemble an Extremis type armor... Doesn't it?
Okay this series definitely pleases me, but it won't be the same without the red and gold, but hey things change
Am I the only one who's getting tired of Iron Man's constant change in attire? And every suit is meant to be some big "Main Armor" upgrade. I waited a long time to hear what made the Bleeding Edge so special. And aside from some random feats, its honestly just Extremist with a Light-Bright fetish. This one's no different. Its like they stopped having relevance for function.
The suit that was hidden in his bones was much better functionally. Downgrading back to the suitcase just seems like a dumb move on his part. There's hopefully a good in-universe explanation.
I love the design though.
I'm glad Marvel have changed the artist for this series, wasn't a big fan of Salvador Larroca in The Invincible Iron Man.
someone said something about is it like the DC reboot... not really. Its more like they are adding in a new marvel universe. Ultimate Universe will still continue, Uncanny universe (anyone hear that they are bringing out Uncanny Avengers? OMG my comic book shop guy told me and i nearly died). It is in a way like how they started Marvel Point one.
Love the new look. Is it better or worse than the old look? Personally, I don't really care. It's fresh and seems to more in keeping with the general tone we're seeing in the Marvel NOW! previews. Always liked the black and gold combo on Mainframe. This seems like a step in that direction. Also, viz a viz the liquid armour; (a) it's a lot more believable than the current one (that lives in hollows of his bones, WTF?) (b) They already tried this with the S.K.I.N. armour (remember THAT?) and that was going pretty well, until it got owned by Ultron. So yeah, not bad overall. Rather looking forward to Marvel NOW! Peace!
It's been a while since I've picked up anything Marvel, but this may be my first in a while. I love Iron Man, and Extremis was an awesome storyline anyways. If that's still in this troublesome mix along with a potentially more troubled Tony [from looking at this new suit], I'm in.
