Joshua Williamson Takes on Iron Man: NYCC Announcement and Preview Thoughts

At New York Comic Con on October 11, Marvel announced that Joshua Williamson, currently writing Superman for DC Comics and G.I. Joe for Skybound/Image Comics, will write the new Iron Man #1 launching January 28, 2026, with Carmen Carnero as the first artist. Williamson, a self-proclaimed massive Iron Man fan, describes Tony Stark as the most dangerous weapon in the Marvel Universe and emphasizes that Tony built his heroism in the cave, not just the armor. The story pits Iron Man against Madame Masque and A.I.M., who aim to create their own version of Tony Stark. Preview pages suggest action-packed flashbacks to the original cave origin, updated for new readers familiar with the movies but not the comics' Vietnam-era roots. As a fan, I'm excited by this writer-artist team and Marvel's push for engaging stories amid DC's strong competition
