The news of the cancellation of IRON MAN: DIRECTOR OF SHIELD to make room for another War Machine is fueling speculation that Tony Stark won’t be the director of SHIELD anymore. My speculation is that Iron Man can’t support two comic books and the writing was on the wall when THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN was launched.
I’ll be interested to see how Fraction steps up when he’s the only Iron Man writer. The first storyline is good but almost none of Fraction’s Marvel work has the little touches of madness that can be found in Casanova, The Last of the Independents or that Edison/Tesla book that he did. I’m still waiting for the Fraction that did those books to show up at Marvel.
