Iron Man returns with Christopher Cantwell and CAFU at the helm
Written by CBW Staff on August 06, 2020
Iron Man #1 arrives at shops this September picking up right after Dan Slott’s run. Doctor Doom author Christopher Cantwell (also TV writer/producer and co-creator of AMC’s Halt and Catch Fire) takes up the mantel along with artist CAFU (Valkyrie Jane Foster) to focus on the man behind the iron.
What happens when you take away the gadgets, weaponry, all the money? Who is Tony Stark really?
I think it’s threefold, maybe: As I said earlier, Tony’s going to cull through his legacy as Iron Man—the good and the bad—and try to find again what is at his very core. Dan Slott’s writing focused heavily on this blending of man and machine so well, so in order to change gears, I want Tony to focus on his humanity. Dan sets this up so well through the end of Iron Man 2020 (no spoilers), but Tony is really a flesh-and-blood clean slate by Issue #1 of our run. He’s going to assess his career, his material assets, his friends and colleagues, and even his armor. He’s been in such a heady techno-haze that he needs to clear the air.
