CA and interiors look pretty good.

Is this a mini-series or regular ongoing?

This must be the first ongoing series for Maleev since Moon Knight.

It's good to have him back!

I really don't see the point of there being a second Iron Man ongoing but it's by a great creative team.

Looks good. Invincible Iron Man has been solid so far, hopefully this will be too. I also hope this ends up being a massive retcon of the crap Kieran Gillen wrote.

I think its pretty much proven that Bendis can only write grounded solo-series about limited cast... Because he pretty much sucks with everything else.

I'm being selfish but he should just jump from Star Wars mini series to mini series. The superhero titles have enough awesome artists

I mean sure it is fitting for Tony to go Global again but aren't they doing that already with Spider-man ? Does that mean there is hope for Peter to get away from all that crap and let Tony take the Global stage again ? Because Peter doesn't really FIT into that while Tony is tailor-made.

And again, I am mostly nervous about how Mary Jane gonna be handled. From what I saw, her previous interactions and history with Tony is erased. I would've loved THAT Mary Jane , the one that lived in the Avengers tower along with Peter... to be in the book which would've been more interesting.

Bendis has already stated he is going to be exploring who Tony's REAL parents are.

This. Although to be fair, the only thing I like about Peter's new status quo is that it frees up Miles to be the Spider-Man of New York, but yeah I agree it doesn't really suit him.

Also, I just caught up with the new Iron Man series this morning (and loved it, it's been a great read!), did they ever really say why Tony is poor all of a sudden? And how poor is he cuz he's always saying how he doesn't have any money anymore, yet his suit is still cutting edge top of the line, and now he's going on an international sojourn, so it's just like, what's the deal?

His definition of poor is quite weird. I mean, I guess he cannot build space stations by himself anymore but can support new an improved Iron-man armor etc.

Long story short, he is definitely not poor is the conventional sense of the word. It is like Trump level definition of poor like '' My father gave me a small loan of Million dollars '' poor :D
