But even the help of Marvel UK’s Dark Angel and his brother Arno may not be enough to stop the cataclysmic power of Malekith!

Don’t miss the start of the brand new arc that will have everyone talking when Rings of the Mandarins kicks off in IRON MAN 23.NOW!

"I can't wait for them to introduce Trevor as the REAL Mandarin!"
Now there's a phrase you'll never hear . . . seriously anyway.

@ NitPicker

ABSOLUTELY!
Yes there's precedent.
Who cares? Just because some bad idea has been done before DOES NOT mean we should do it again.
I repeat . . . just because a bad idea has been tried before DOES NOT mean we should do it again!

Bring back and keep the ONLY color combo that IS Iron Man, red and gold.

p.s. and yes, he can go ahead and have special RARELY used armors that have different color combos.

The black and gold armor is important. In the future that Cable is trying to prevent, Iron Man becomes a villain while wearing that armor. A year before Tony put it on, we saw glimpses of it in X-Sanction.

@rabid

I actually just reread X Sanction a week or ago and all I saw was Iron Man's future Purple and Gold armor infused with Sentinel tech. Was there maybe another story where they showed the black and gold as a future villain?

I've actually been keeping up with Gillen's Iron Man through friends' digital copies. I like it. I like that we have Arno Stark finally too.

I hate the black and gold armour also. I also hate how in some books it's this color, and in another book it's a different armour.

I wonder if they are going to try and connect the rings to the Infinity Gems?

My only gripe about this story line is that Iron Man used to be able to take on 'The Mandarin' one on one...

So why now is he having such issues with 10 Mandarins when they only have 1 ring each....

I like idea and along side Thor this is my second fav monthly but come on...

@beane
That was the hologram of the hybrid sentinels Stark's going to create. Another scene shows him in the black and gold suit. It's possible that was in one of the tie-in issues and not the main title.
