"Iron Man" will relaunch in September, with Christopher Cantwell writing and Alex Ross contributing a new "Red & Gold" armor

Following the end of Dan Slott's run on the character and the "Iron Man 2020" saga, Tony Stark is reclaiming his identity and going "Back To Basics", as Marvel has announced that a new "Iron Man" series will launch and debut this September - written by "Halt & Catch Fire" creator Christopher Cantwell and art duties by CAFU. Superstar comic book artist Alex Ross will also be handling comic cover duties, as well as designing the new armor Tony suits up in - which looks like his iconic "Red and Gold" classic armor only with modern refurbishings.

IRON MAN is BACK | September 2020 | Marvel Comics
In a statement ran by Marvel and reported by GamesRadar/ Newsarama and Superherohype, Cantwell had nothing but excitement to share:

“I’m over the moon about getting a shot at writing the Golden Avenger, Since Bob Layton’s art in the 1980s captured my imagination as a kid, I’ve been fascinated by Iron Man, and in this new story run, I’m aiming to explore the question: who should Iron Man be today? An angel? A god? Or just a humble man? Tony’s going to try and strip the idea of Iron Man all the way down to its metal core, something that will constantly be at odds with his giant ego. We’ll see if he can truly keep his arrogant self-image in check, even as others with god complexes set their sights on the entire universe.”


 Iron Man launches into comic book shops with a brand new #1 this September 2020.

Marvel teases an Ambitious Series featuring Kurt Busiek, Alex Ross, and Yildiray Cinar for May 2020

Marvel is teasing something big coming this May 2020, and it's described as "The Most Ambitious Series To Ever Hit The Marvel Universe" - with "Marvels" creators Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross teaming up with artist Yildiray Cinar for the project.

Featured by Comic Book Resources, the artwork tease features a mix of Marvel Legends new and old, with Golden Age heroes like Aarkus to mainstays like Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Storm, and Punisher, and new heroes like Aero too.

How this exactly ties to anything is anyone's guess, but the Marvels nostalgia has been getting some attention with "Marvels X" serving as a prequel series to that classic book and then last year's Marvel's Epilogue one-shot being released too. Time will tell how this plays out.

Alex Ross reveals cover to "Amazing Spider-Man #20" - DOC OCK LIVES AGAIN

Looks like a familiar Spider-Man villain is making his long awaited return from the dead, as Alex Ross revealed via his Facebook page his amazing cover to Marvel's "Amazing Spider-Man #20" - which shows Doctor Octopus back in his own body and tearing the mask of the webslinger apart!

While no details on exactly how Doc Ock comes back has been revealed, those who follow current ASM series written by Dan Slott know that after seemingly sacrificing his brain to restore Peter Parker back to his own body during the events of "Superior Spider-Man", Ock was able to make a back up of his mind in the robotic body of the "Living Brain". With the major Spidey event "Dead No More" fast approaching, it's a no brainer that Otto Octavius will return as a result of the events of that storyline.

Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars announced for 2015

Just when you thought things couldn't get any crazier in the Marvel Universe... THIS HAPPENS.

Announced in USA Today and reported by Newsarama, the House of Ideas has revealed as part of their Marvel 75th Anniversary slideshow presentation in the New York Comic Con their plan for 2015... And it's titled Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars.

If the title bears any familiarity to longtime Marvel fans, it's because it harkens back to 30 years ago... When the first Secret Wars was initiated by a being known as The Beyonder, who plucked some of Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Villians and put them in a world to do battle against one another in a world called "Battleworld". The premise has been revisited in a sequel and used through other means... But this will be the first mega-crossover that involves no other characters BUT members of The Avengers and their past/ alternate counterparts (as well as Miles Morales, Ultimate Spider-Man), as depicted in this solid poster by the great artist himself, Alex Ross.

While no concrete details have been given for the storyline, it will launch in May 2015 (the same month as Avengers: Age of Ultron) and will be written by Jonathan Hickman and illustrated by Esad Ribic. Marvel Senior VP of Publishing Tom Brevoort went on to say:

""However massive you think this is, let me assure you it is bigger than that. It's by far the craziest thing I've dealt with."

Alex Ross' 75th Anniversary cover to "Superior Iron Man" looks stunning

In what is certainly a nice way to pay tribute to one of the most recognizable superheroes in this day and age, comic book superstar artist extraordinaire Alex Ross has painted a grand variant cover to "Superior Iron Man #1", which signals a new direction for Tony Stark following the events of Avengers & X-Men: Axis.

As featured in Comic Book.com's exclusive look at some of Marvel's November solicitations, here is Ross's epic looking cover, featuring Iron Man's beginnings, his early armors, and time with the Avengers, with the Red & Gold armor prominently in the center of it all!

While it certainly will be a new kind of Iron Man popping out of that series, his legacy will remain a part of the hero/ billionaire/ genius/ playboy/ industrialist that he is. And looking back at his evolution this stellar cover pays tribute to 75 years of Marvel history and ol' shellhead nicely.

Launching under the "All New Marvel Now" brand, the relaunched series will bring the team comprised of Reed Richards/ Mr. Fantastic, Susan Richards/ Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/ The Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/ The Thing back to their roots in the Marvel Universe, as they're back in Manhattan, interacting more with the Marvel Universe, and facing more woes and problems as a superhero team than ever before. Robinson notes that the first arc will focus on the "Rise and Fall of the Fantastic Four, as well as the Rise and Fall of Johnny Storm". The Human Torch has bought the farm once before. Whether he will do so again or what befalls the team remains to be seen. One thing is certain... Dr. Doom will face the team anew and early on in the arc.

On the new Fantastic Four reboot film to be directed by "Chronicle" director Josh Trank, it will now see a release date on June 19, 2015.
