Dan Slott, Christos Gage, and Pete Woods Debut Iron Man 2020 with Arno Stark
We've known it was coming, but now it's confirmed and we have some of the first details. At Marvel's Next Big Thing panel at New York Comic Con Friday, Marvel announced Iron Man 2020, the followup relaunch to Tony Stark Iron Man, which ends with Tony Stark Iron Man #19 and the Ultron Agenda storyline.
That storyline sees Tony Stark fused with his own armor, with questions raised about his survival. But Ultron's true agenda was apparently to help Marvel boost sales with a new #1 issue relaunch. We now know for sure that when Iron Man 2020 launches next year, from the creative team of Dan Slott, Christos Gage, and Pete Woods, it will be Arno Stark as the lead character, as has been heavily foreshadowed.
Thanks to years of compliance, Marvel slipped media partner Newsarama the solicit and cover before the show so they could have their article ready. See it copied and pasted below.
