-- Spencer Ackerman on what to expect from his Iron Man run.

"Tony is in a vulnerable situation coming out of the Fall of X. He just got Stark Unlimited back from the genocidal tech bro Feilong. That wouldn't have left time to replace Feilong's Board of Directors, let alone get Stark Unlimited out of the weapons business that Feilong re-entered. If I was a corporate giant observing this moment of instability in one of the world's most important companies, I would put together a consortium to acquire it, and go to ruthless extremes to make sure I end up with it. I pitched this first arc, 'The Stark-Roxxon War,' as 'How To Blow Up A Pipeline' meets 'Succession.'"

"Well, the real honest answer is, years ago Mark Waid and his collaborators were looking for some juice at the end of History of the Marvel Universe. I don’t think [the wedding of Emma Frost and Tony Stark] showed up until letters. And I just said, absolutely they can do that. Not that I was giving them permission, I just wasn’t casting a no-vote. But what I said was, please just don’t expect me to act on it. And that was the end of it." - Gerry Duggan

"I looked at Tony/Iron Man the same way that I looked at X-Men when I got the chair. The villain roster needed some depth, and a lot of the old great ones are dead. Feilong is a great villain for both Tony and Iron Man. I’ve swung a lot of wrecking balls at these characters, and wrecked a lot of lives, but what Feilong does in the second arc of that solo book is really beyond the pale." - Gerry Duggan

"When I proposed to follow Jonathan, I had made a big point that I thought, what had come before was a remarkable gift to those characters, but I also said the cupboard is empty in terms of our villains, and so there had to be a reinvestment period. There had to be new fresh blood if we weren't going to break Krakoa in that way. When you have Pepe Larraz as your collaborator, you can get away with anything. And so, to spend some time and invest in new villains, the better we are to those villains, the more we can give them in terms of page count and story, the better off I think you're going to be long term. And it became Feilong, who, I think, is a great villain for anyone right now. But he presented as this wonderful piece that could knock over Iron Man, and then ask how far down could we push him." - Gerry Duggan

"It's very much evident out of the gate that someone is gunning for Tony Stark. He's been in that position before, but Tony doesn't really have a Lex Luthor opposite him at the moment... I think the writer secret that we never try to keep a secret, that we want to tell everyone when they want to break in, is be generous to your villains. Be good to your villains because they will nourish your story. And we do." - Gerry Duggan

"The gift that I intend to bring to Tony as a forever gift, hopefully, and obviously future creators and future editors will get to decide this, is whether or not this new Iron Man villain that's coming along is going to be a forever gift. I certainly intend it to be." - Gerry Duggan

I guess that if things had worked out differently and I had gone to Marvel rather then to DC during that period in the '80s—if I hadn't had such an early falling out with Marvel—then I guess any of them might have been fun. Fantastic Four, obviously. Thor was terrific. I managed to get a lot of that out of my system during the 1963 stuff. All of Jack Kirby's characters were great. I'd prefer to work with my own characters now anyway but back when I was working with other people's characters, it's difficult to think of a character Jack Kirby created that wouldn't have been interesting to write. -- Alan Moore

"He's a man who makes things and if you make anything at all you're making it for a purpose. His armored suits are a way for him to do something. That of course suggests that he implicitly believes there's a point in making these tools; that there's a future that's worth making. That's part of his drive. He wants us to survive and make it to the future so he can help build and shape it." -- Kieron Gillen (couldn't find a Jed MacKay quote about Iron Man)

I felt that this was a really good look at Tony Stark's character.

Dan Slott's Iron Man run has built up to 2020, and having Tony's half-brother Arno stand up to his destiny to defend humanity from the Extinction Entity, only like the fourth Marvel villain in the last decade to try and merge organic and technological life. Now, with co-writer Christos Gage at his side, Slott bows out in the grand finale!

Pepper and Rhodey were fighting it.

Pepper was in Starkworld with one of Stark Industries' employees, one of those who'd been forcibly uploaded by the AI Tony'd created through fear of death.

Rhodey was in Stark Industries, fighting the AI that wore Tony like armor, in an armor-to-armor fight.

Pepper and her friend Mike made their way to where Tony was in Starkworld - chained up like Prometheus, a vulture eating at him.

They fought the vulture - it tore into Mike.

Pepper caught it and swung, smashing it against a rock.

She leaned down to the dying Mike.

" Tell him.. to go to.. hell.. " exhaled Mike, not looking at Tony as he passed.

Tony agreed that he deserved that.

Pepper went to get him down.

" You came, Pep. "

" Of course I did. Don't give up. We didn't give up on you. "

" I didn't give up.

" But once you're in here, you can't help but let go of the meat a little bit at a time. "

" ' Meat '? You sound like the monster. "

( They sat down. )

Tony Stark's AI reflection'd been uploading his creator's employees there.

He tormented his progenitor before going to look in on Pepper and Rhodey.

Pepper was holed up with Dr. Serrano the psychologist and Mo the engineer, discussing what was going on.

( Mo respected the scale of Tony's creation. )

#1'd closed on a death.

Tony Stark's mortality-sparked cybernetic self-upgrades'd led to the death of one of his employees.

Pepper and Rhodey realized what'd happened.

Pepper went to talk to Tony.

Tony didn't allay her worries.

( She left him, worried. )

It opened on Tony Stark having a coronary.

He received prompt medical attention, and was at home forty-eight hours later.

Pepper found him in his penthouse.

( He was busy. )
