Comic-Con 2022: Christopher Cantwell to End Iron Man Run With Oversized 650th Issue

July 23, 2022, 6:28pm

November will see the release of Iron Man #25, which also serves as Legacy #650. After a two-year run, writer Christopher Cantwell will end his run on Iron Man with the oversized issue, which Marvel announced during its Next Big Thing Panel Saturday at Comic-Con 2022. Cantwell has helped broaden the Iron Man mythos during his run, following his successful time on a Doctor Doom series with Salvador Larroca. The writer has pitted the Armored Avenger against the cosmically-powerful Korvac, turned Iron Man into a God, and is preparing to marry Tony Stark to fellow superhero Hellcat.

Iron Man #25/650 celebrates the momentous occasion with Iron Man Day in New York City. Joining Christopher Cantwell and Angel Unzueta for stories include Murewa Ayodele and Dotun Akande, Kurt Busiek and Ben Dewey, and a tease of what’s to come next for Iron Man. Marvel will have already lined up the next creative team for Iron Man, and we may get our first clues in November.

Christopher Cantwell may be leaving Iron Man, but he’s remaining busy at Marvel with a new Namor titled Namor the Sub-Mariner: Conquered Shores with Pasqual Ferry.
