Joshua Williamson is already writing Superman for DC Comics and G.I. Joe for Skybound/Image Comics. And now he’s making it a hat trick by snagging the job writing Iron Man for Marvel, as announced yesterday (October 11) at New York Comic Con.
The news was announced on the Next Big Thing panel, alongside the reveal that Carmen Carnero will be the artist on the book.
“I am a huge Iron Man fan. A massive Iron Man fan…and I knew it was time. I absolutely had to do this,” said Williamson via press release. “Part of our tagline for this book is that Tony Stark is the most dangerous weapon in the Marvel Universe. When he went into the cave, Tony built the armor…but after I thought about it more, the armor wasn’t what he built in the cave. Tony built Tony.”
In the new series, Iron Man comes face to face with Madame Masque and AIM, who — based on preview pages shared by the publisher — are looking to create their own Tony Stark. Not Iron Man. Tony. Does someone need to explain to Madame Masque how babies are made? Maybe!
