One of the fun things with ongoing comics that have been around for decades is that the future becomes the present. Way back in 1984, the release of Machine Man #2 introduces us to the Iron Man of 2020 and now that’s becoming a thing in the real 2020 with Iron Man 2020. As we knew previously, the new book brings on Dan Slott and Christos Gage to write it with Pete Woods handling the artwork. The series is set for a January 15th, 2020 debut and now Marvel is putting a bit more promotion into it with a new trailer to showcase what’s to come.
“Like the inexorable turning of pages on a calendar, we’ve been building up to the arrival of 2020 and the advent of Arno Stark as Iron Man ever since this latest run began,” says Executive Editor Tom Brevoort said in October. “Here, all of the larger themes we’ve been playing with will come to the fore in a big, sweeping, epic action movie that anyone can enjoy!”
The series is slotted for six issues and will “raise thought-provoking questions about what it means to be an artificial intelligence. As the story unfolds, expect to see your favorite Marvel robotic characters from Vision and Jocasta to Albert and Elsie-Dee in what’s shaping up to be a true “Robot Revolution.” Also keep an eye out for upcoming announcements about the exciting tie-ins that will accompany this epic event featuring some of your favorite armored characters!”
