Amidst The Tragedy Of Fall Of X... Comes The Super Hero Wedding Of The Decade
by Jay Cochran
August 2, 2023
Hitting stands next month, X-MEN #26 and INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #10 will feature the long-awaited wedding between Emma Frost and Tony Stark! Current X-MEN and INVINCIBLE IRON MAN writer Gerry Duggan will deliver this moment that fans never thought would happen, alongside series artists Stefano Caselli (X-Men) and Juan Frigeri (Invincible Iron Man). Teased for years, this highly-anticipated story will tie directly into FALL OF X, the dark new era of X-Men storytelling which officially kicked off in last week’s X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1.
Krakoa has fallen and for the first time in ages, the X-Men have their backs against the wall. FALL OF X calls for bold new alliances and as Emma Frost and Tony Stark’s Hellfire Club partnership strengthens so will their romantic feelings! First, in X-MEN #26, the X-Men are taken aback by Tony’s shocking proposal as well as Emma’s answer of “Yes!” Then, readers are cordially invited to the wedding of Anthony Edward Stark and Emma Grace Frost in INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #10. Come join the lucky couple as they exchange vows. Attire is Hellfire formal. Orchis raid to follow.
In honor of the occasion, acclaimed artist Meghan Hetrick has turned out two stunning variant covers for INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #10. An homage to Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson’s iconic wedding in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21, this variant cover will be available in two formats, one depicting the characters in super hero attire and one featuring them in fashionable formalwear!
"Neither seems like the marrying type. Why this works, and how this works, and how much fun this is whether their marriage works or not will need to be seen to be believed and you'll have to buy it to find out!,” Duggan told IGN. “They certainly don't seem like they're ready to be married to anyone, let alone to each other, but life can change quickly."

Tony and Emma have been flirting with each other for years. Will they get divorced? Oh definitely but it's not like there isn't any romance between them.

Would it really be that hard to write a compelling story in which a couple isn't frivolously joined together to be ripped apart? Facing the toughest of odds together, they bravely face the challenges seeking to destroy their world and their marital union? I get that relational drama is interesting, but it debases marriage to have it trivialized.
I think this marriage might be a very special case. There's a high chance Tony and Emma are mostly in it for the convenience of a political marriage, but it also seems like they're going to warm up to each other. It feels a bit like a romantic comedy, like two strangers marrying over a green card and catching feelings without meaning to. I don't think a comic book marriage has ever been played this way, and I'm looking forward to it.
Tony and Emma are so similar and so different at the same time, that I think Duggan knows that them working things out is gonna be a lot more engaging than not. The good news is that we already know that they have a common enemy to bond over. Feilong is probably even the top reason why they're getting married in the first place.

For every person that likes a hero marriage, there is someone who hates it and will do anything to destroy it.

Divorce doesn't exist in the marvel Universe. You need Demons to end marriages
