Have you seen this? What's so new about it? The set of headlights?

It looks different than the 1000 other suits he's had, but I don't keep up with current so I cannot comment on whether it is different than what he had last week or month.

He looks like that dude from that mini about the bad guy who takes over the world and he has a daughter and his arch nemesis is locked up in a cell where he pulls blood out of him and converts it into a drug...I can't believe I read it only about two months ago and cannot remember the title.

He does look more menacing.

A little too punisher symbol-ish to me.

They redesign the armor too often for my tastes... he just evolves too fast

It looks very 21st century-ish. Maybe that headlight thing on his sides of the head it's the removal tools that will remove whatever bodily fluids that has aspired whenever Tony Stark sneezes or passes gas, who knows?

I know I have to remove bodily fluids when I've been drinking. A connection...Maybe. Can I transfer 8 beers release to my headlights powers the next night? Yeah they change his costume/armor too much. I'm sick of seeing the image of Tony Stark standing in a room full of past armors as if we are so interested in telling which armor relates too which issues and periods.

However, I do own a #1 and TOS #40 and think that the movie "Iron Man" will really translate super well to this modern age and will be the most relateable character to date. If you thought a struggling family stressed, photographer Peter Parker made a good movie, how will a man who believes in justice but is stuck in the corporate world who drinks excessively and is techno confident relate to the "common man"?

I'll admit, I've never really followed Iron Man, but that is more due to his multi comic crossovers and bad art on most of the title in the silver+ age than to the interestingness of the character. Is interestingness a word?
