Iron Man's New Armor

[The Mike]

"The inspiration for the new design came from thinking about a sleeker, leaner, tougher Iron Man," revealed Fraction. "If technology is increasingly getting smaller and lighter it seems like the Iron Man should do the same: ergonomic and aerodynamic. We were looking for something that felt as sleek and glossy as a sports car Tony Stark would covet. I love what we've come up with. It feels like the next evolutionary step in the Iron Man's design."

I will say this. I like it! I'd love to get a Sideshow Comiquette of this and imagine if they make it light up?

hell yeah, i'd buy that christmas tree.

Can't say I'm a fan. Looks like Iron Spider-Man from the head down.

 

[The Mike]

I have to disagree with you:

Other than being Red and Gold I don't see Iron Spider-Man in this new suit.

 

[Entropy]

why all the lights? more lights = evolution?

 

[The Mike]

Well I won't know until I read the issues but in most Iron Man mythos the lights are channels for the Arc Reactor to centralize. In the Deep Sea Armors or Space armors have multiple lights which were to help focus more power to control the suit, so maybe the suit is more power than the Marks before it. Although from an artist's perspective they probably think it just looks cool.

Interesting. Might be too sleek though. I kind of like the bulkier "jet fighter" armor.

so he can see better in the dark...

that too

Love it!

Hopefully SS will make us a nice Comiquette. I'd prefer a museum pose like the picture.

 

[HoldyourfireAl]

WOW! Do not like it at all! That's a mess! I bet any artist who has to draw the armor is going to have a heart attack! I looks like a jigsaw puzzle! I thought we couldn't get worse than Extremis, but this...

 

[filip629]

Not feeling this new look. However....I LOVED the Extremis armor!

 

[jinxx]

Extremis 2.0?

Must be....it's very streamlined.

 

[Ra88]

I don't like the color distribution, but other than that it looks pretty damn cool. It also kinda looks like something out of the Metal Gear Solid games.

 

[MISFIT]

THE MIKE i would love to see sideshow make a pf of the lovely lady under your tag...

 

[daikkenaurora]

why all the extra lights?

 

[Bullseye]

It's still not as sleek as the original red/yellow costume. But I like it.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I like the general idea that the armor should be evolving to something more sleek. It always bothered me when they changed the iconic slim armor from the 70s and 80s to the more bulkier version of recent years since the evolution should be going from bigger to smaller.

 

[OSCORP]

I like it.

 

[DinoLast]

I really like it.
More lights, More Gold, super streamline.
In fact I love it.
I loved the Extremis suit too, so I guess it's all down to different tastes, and I'm sure it won't be long before the suit evolves again.

only thing tony needs now is some golden chains.
