“Who is the new Iron Man?” That’s the question that the latest set of Marvel preview pages ask as the next issue in the ‘Long Way Down’ arc rolls out. After being repeatedly screwed by the government, his competitors and (to an extent) himself, Tony Stark quit being Iron Man as of the last issue.
This isn’t the first time he has done so, and it isn’t even the first time he has done so because of a drink. The real question, however, is who is in that suit? Is it like the ‘Dead’ arc from “Deadpool”, and the suit hides a much prettier version of Tony Stark? Is it Rhodey again? That would be the most likely candidate after all. Is it someone completely new? Or even a cat?
Marvel knows, and they’re not telling. Instead, they’re sharing three censored pages from the upcoming issue, which you can see right here:
