Marvel Announces All New (Renumbered) Iron Man Series Starring Riri Williams

Because you demanded it. With Invincible Iron Man #7 and Invincible Iron Man #9 blowing up after yesterday’s announcement she would be taking over, the new announcement that she will star in a new, renumbered series could drive these books up even higher.
From Marvel Press release:
The Marvel Universe stands divided. As those who once stood together now stand apart, new heroes will rise to answer the call. This Fall, a new armored avenger suits up in INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1 – a new series launching as part of Marvel NOW! Superstar creator Brian Michael Bendis welcomes incoming artist Stefano Caselli to the ongoing adventures of Marvel’s newest leading lady – Riri Williams!


Making her debut earlier this year in the pages of Invincible Iron Man, Riri Williams will explode out of the pages of Civil War II and into the boots of the Armored Avenger. Reverse-engineering her own set of armor to make the world a better place, Riri will lead the charge as Iron Man! Well, for now. She’s working on the name! But what has become of Tony Stark? What could have happened during Civil War II to make him hang up the repulsors? That is, if he makes it out in one piece!

“We’re in the middle of a very big Tony Stark storyline – actually three storylines converging,” says Brian Michael Bendis, speaking with TIME. “His best friend died, his company is collapsing and he’s finding out who his biological parents were all at the same time. How that all shakes out such that Tony is no longer in the armor? You’ll have to wait to find out for the end of Civil War II. But it does create a path for Riri Williams, who Tony will know and will be interacting with very shortly in the comics.”
Strap in and suit up, True Believer. There’s a new hero in town. And she’s ready to take the Marvel Universe by storm. Be there as Bendis and Caselli armor up to bring you a new armored hero for Marvel NOW! Don’t miss INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1 – coming to comic shops and digital devices everywhere this fall!

      1. Sorry, guys, I actually demanded it. I did it formally, in writing, on DrunkWooky, attorney at law letterhead from my personal office in the crawlspace under the stairs next to that leaky toilet drain that we just can’t seem to seal up no matter how many copies of Invincible Iron Man #7 we stuff into it!
        My bad.

  1. So what’s gonna happen here is:
    1st step: Reboot Invincible Iron Man with another #1
    2nd step: Rename character in 5-6 issues.
    3rd step: New #1 with new character name
    4th step: MONEY!

    1. Also, lest we forget the new series: Tony Stark Iron Man #1 that will come out at the same time as the new character’s series!! YAYY!

  2. And they still keep the same colors and suit designs, go with a unique title like ummm Invincible Iron Man, yeah that hasn’t been used before. Oh and around issue 4 we will have her join a team of all female superheroes. we can call them something really cool like……The Avenges. we are really on to something with this one. keep those fresh ideas rolling in everyone!

    1. Guess you missed out on Vision because I ended up finding a bunch after I posted the story and have been selling the hell out of those.

  3. In my travels to I found 2 #9 ‘s AOA var………….didn’t pick them up, once again I missed out. I did grab a Spider-Man / Deadpool #1 act. fig. variant.

    1. Right? What issue does she/will she become” Iron Man” ?? That’ll be the one to chase IMO….

      1. Probably 13-14 or something she hasn’t become him yet. People are chasing the first appearance of the character and not the character as.

  4. Actually she took her suit for a test drive this most recent issue, defeated an enemy, and referred to it as her “1st super hero thing.”
    It’s just a couple of panels, but it happened already this week. So this most recent issue (#11) is probably gonna be hot. Sooo I’m gonna hop to the comic store tomorrow and see if they have any left over.
    On the whole 1st appearance thing: The most odd one to me is Ms Marvel 16 17 18 with Mystique’s first appearance, the first two appearances are so brief and she’s not fully shown as Mystique until 18 I guess. Most undervalued: Avengers Annual 10 with the 1st Rogue. That should go for way more money than it does.
    But anyway Iron Man 11 might get legs, word to the wise.
    And agentpoyo that made me lol great first comment. I don’t remember demanding this either.

  5. Serious question:
    Doesn’t this arguably spoil, “Civil War II,” considering that if we are getting a new Iron Man, and the current Iron Man is on one side of the fight, the odds are pretty good he is going to lose, possibly die/retire, and we will get this new Iron Man? Am I guessing at things too much or could I be right?

    1. Don’t think he is going to die but do think he will be forced to retire. However the hologram of Tony Stark does make me wonder if he will live.
