SAY HELLO TO THE SUPERIOR IRON MAN
We had the chance to chat with writer Tom Taylor and artist Y ı ld ı ray Ç ı nar about their plans for everyone’s favourite Armored Avenger!

Tom Taylor: It’s great to take my first step into this universe. As soon as Marvel contacted me and asked if I wanted to take on Tony Stark, I knew I couldn’t say no... This is why we write comics. To step into the lives of the characters we love and to help shape them for a while. Y ı ld ı ray Ç ı nar: I drew some Marvel cards years ago but drawing a book is something else. I am so excited and happy as I love Marvel characters and have been a huge fan for years.

Y ı ld ı ray Ç ı nar: First, I have to say that it is a privilege for me to design a new Iron Man armour. I was really excited to be working on it and really had fun. The new costume is simpler but flashy... Oh, and there are some blues and it is all shiny!

Y ı ld ı ray Ç ı nar: More challenging in a positive way. This means I will be using more reference. Fun times!

Tom Taylor: I’ve had to do this a fair amount in my career. The trick, I think, is for them to know the plot. Super- intelligences know the ending way before the reader and often before the writer. Tony Stark knows the ending of arcs I haven’t even plotted yet.

Tom Taylor: I did know that Y ı ld ı ray would be on the book very early on, which has been great as he and I, and our editor, Mark Paniccia, were able to come together and shape the new suit even before I was scripting. I had Y ı ld ı ray’s first pass as my desktop wallpaper to inspire me. He was born to draw this Iron Man .
