All-New Iron Man Series Blast Off Into Stores Today!

May 7th, 2008 Comments off

There’s only one superhero everyone’s talking about — Iron Man — and today you can check out three new series featuring the Armored Avenger! Debuting in stores today, Invincible Iron Man #1, Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #1 and Avengers/Invaders #1 feature Iron Man in all new stories from the industry’s top creators!

An all-new era for Iron Man begins with Invincible Iron Man #1, a brand new ongoing series from rising star writer Matt Fraction (Immortal Iron Fist, upcoming Uncanny X-Men) and red-hot artist Salvador Larroca (Amazing Spider-Man). As the son of a fallen enemy conspires to destroy Tony Stark, armed with Iron Man technology and all the advantages of youth, Iron Man may find out that this is one challenge he can’t overcome! A perfect jumping-on point for all fans of Iron Man, this series also features all your favorites such as James Rhodes and Pepper Potts!

Jon Favreau, director of the hit Iron Man film, joins with acclaimed artist Adi Granov for Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #1 (of 4), the newest limited series from the Marvel Knights imprint. When Tony Stark heads to sin city for some much needed rest, he plans to enjoy the many pleasures of the city — but he’s about to discover a much larger threat hidden behind the glitz and glamour! What do a fifty-foot dragon statue, beautiful archeologist and plague of lizards mean? Well… it’s time to power up that armor!

The super heroes of WW2 have arrived in our time and they’re about to clash with Earth’s Mightiest in Avengers/Invaders #1 (of 12)! The award winning team behind Project Superpowers, Justice and Earth X — legendary writer/artist Alex Ross and acclaimed scribe Jim Krueger — team with fan-favorite artist Steve Sadowski for a twelve-issue Marvel Comics event, packaged by Dynamite Entertainment, that’ll leave the Avengers forever altered! But will these two teams of heroes be allies… or enemies?

And be sure not to miss Secret Invasion #2, from the superstar team of Brian Bendis and Leinil Yu, as the comic book event of the year continues!

Some jobs require more than a man of steel — and today, you’ll learn why Iron Man is the hero everyone’s buzzing about in these can’t miss series!
