This past Wednesday, fans witnessed the beginning of an all-new era for Tony Stark in INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1! Writer Gerry Duggan and artist Juan Frigeri have taken over the armored Avenger’s adventures and didn’t pull any punches in their explosive first issue, which sold out and will return in February with a second printing!
INVINCIBLE IRON #1 will receive two new second printing covers, both of which celebrate the character’s iconic legacy by showcasing the many armors Tony has suited up in over the years: A brand-new piece by superstar artist Mark Bagley and definitive Iron Man artist Bob Layton’s showstopping connecting piece in all its glory.
INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1 ended with Tony Stark hitting rock bottom, having lost it all: his wealth…his fame…his friends. But don’t count Stark out just yet. In upcoming issues, Stark will navigate his new status in the Marvel Universe in surprising ways. Readers will see Iron Man court new allies, embrace bold solutions, and make startling moves that will affect his relationships with the Avengers and mutantkind. Is he building towards a brighter future or will he be the architect of further destruction?
Iron Man’s 60th anniversary year promises to be one of his best yet! Don’t miss your chance to jump on board with the second printings of INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1 this February!

Thing is, they think its dramatic and high stakes, but really it just undermines the character. Stark is supposed to be this-off-the-charts, genius inventor businessman, and has over 20 subsidiary companies in addition to SI/SE. He's lost his company/fortune before, so a man with his intellect, connections, business acumen, etc. should have fool proofed himself from that ever happening again.
So not only have we seen this before, we know he'll get it all back eventually.
I don't know if these story lines that are written to make him low-tech are supposed to make the readers cheer him on, as he clashes with foes using a sling shot instead of Repulsors, but I realy can't see them as necessary or entertaining.
Exactly, it is the opposite of Tony's character. He's about looking forward not backwards and he was designed to be a character readers wouldn't initially root for

Love the image of the armory; thats sick.
Nice to see more modern armors in Bob Layton's style.

Honestly, one of the things I'm hoping to out of this run is that Marvel finally gets this idea of making Tony low-tech and low-profile out of their system. Then we can get the return of the Tony Stark who used to build satellite research stations and utopic cities and fully-immersive VR landscapes.
Another old storyline dug up and rehashed by another low talent hack who's incapable of coming up with a novel idea. Wish I could act surprised but......Marvel.
Tony is broke again! He's supposed to be a futurist so his stories should be moving forward not backwards.

As a long time comic fan this saddens me but I fear you are correct

thats putting quite a bit of faith in these creators but who knows, maybe this will be a diamond in the rough
