Looking back to the great San Diego Comic Con of 2014, the Exhibit Hall was the most wonderful place. The Exhibit Hall is my favorite area of the SDCC, where dreams come true.

Marvel announced a new series and direction for Tony Stark, The Superior Iron Man! What does this mean? For starters, it looks like a new suit and breakaway from the usual red and yellow. The dramatic change in costume isn’t the first for our Armored Avenger. But what is exciting, are the details from this recent Marvel press release… […]
