Creative Team for this fall's 'All-New, All-Different' INVINCIBLE IRON MAN Announced

There's a new writer and artist coming on board for the new series after SECRET WARS.

We've been seeing a little of the "All-New, All-Different Marvel" which begins after the current Secret Wars event ends. There hasn't been too much information revealed on this new Marvel Universe we'll have. We've been speculating and making assumptions based on all the new character designs that have been released.

One character that has been at the center of the two promos is Iron Man.

Many are wonder what will make him "all-new" and "all-different." Obviously the armor has changed a little. Many are wonder if perhaps Pepper Potts will be jumping into the suit and taking on the mantle of Iron Man. It would be a twist and throw off the general populace in the Marvel Universe. We also know Pepper has a bit of experience herself when it comes to wearing armored suits. Perhaps it will be someone other than Tony Stark.

What we do know at the moment is who the creative team will be on a new Iron Man series. At this year's Special Edition New York and at Marvel's 'Next Big Thing Panel,' it was announced.

Who will be the writer and artist for the upcoming INVINCIBLE IRON MAN?

Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez. Marquez (and colorist Matt Wilson) are responsible for all the wonderful new character designs we've been seeing.

Who is this new Iron Man? Is it Tony Stark or someone else? Stay tuned for more information when it becomes available.

Update

Reports from Special Edition New York are saying Bendis has mentioned it's Tony Stark in the armor.

From USA Today:
Bendis calls Invincible Iron Man "a futurist's look at what he has to do next as a superhero" — the series picks up eight months after the conclusion of the current event series Secret Wars with Tony wanting to be a better man in every aspect of his life. (The recently wrapped Superior Iron Man comic had him based in San Francisco and being more of a jerk than usual.)

In addition to his weaponry, Iron Man's also getting a larger cast of characters, many of them new. Fans of Stark pals Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan will get to see them again at some point, but Bendis says he is instead focusing on introducing folks such as a love interest "who is smarter than him," the writer says. "He can't just be snarky Tony Stark and woo her. He's got to earn her, and even that's a challenge.

Bendis also plans on picking up the plot thread from Kieron Gillen's run with Tony being adopted. He plans on exploring who Tony's parents really are.
