The Iron Age

Dark Phoenix returns, heroes from the past to save the future, and Iron Man being himself. Now that sounds pretty awesome, doesn't? Well Marvel's next event for Iron Man is doing all that this Summer in The Iron Age which will start with Iron Age Alpha, continue with 6 one shit comics and conclude in Iron Age Omega.

The story is pretty much like this: One of Iron Man's foes uses one of Dr. Doom's time machines to bring back Dark Phoenix as she destroys the Earth. Iron Man is then stuck in the past asking for past heroes help to restore the present. The heroes are as follows:

• Luke Cage
• Dazzler
• Iron Fist
• Captain Britain

These 4 heroes, along with Iron Man, will have to work together in order to restore Iron Man's present. Don't forget that this means will be seeing them in their old outfits. Ah yes, Luke Cage running around in yellow with his tiara.

I found this quote quite interesting from Marvel's blog about The Iron Age:

"How will Tony Stark feel when he talks to The Wasp long before she dies in Secret Invasion or Johnny Storm before he dies in the Negative Zone? Does he warn them of the events to come?  Dare he?”

So this might be pretty emotional and challenging for Tony Stark. How will he do? Find out This June.
