New York, NY— August 28, 2024 — A brutal era of IRON MAN begins this October! Making his Marvel Comics debut, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Spencer Ackerman will team up with rising star artist Julius Ohta to build an epic new run of Marvel’s Armored Avenger. Like all of Marvel’s major launches, IRON MAN #1 will sport a special Foil Variant Cover that fans can see today. Drawn by acclaimed artist Philip Tan, the piece depicts Tony emerging from the rubble of his past suits in his new armor. Dubbed the “Improvised Iron Man,” fans will see it assembled throughout the series as Tony does what he does best—tinkering and upgrading it to counter anything the world throws at him.

“Winning a Pulitzer is cool and all, but it’s not writing for Marvel Comics,” Ackerman shared. “And to write IRON MAN is a very specific dream come true. A lot of comics’ best creators have used Iron Man to tell big stories about security and freedom—with a whole lot of super hero action, of course—and I can’t wait to build on their legacy.”
