i look forward to this, i think i was one of the few people that liked his Grifter series over at DC.

Always up for more Iron Man. Mandarin and "Demon in Armour" sound cool too, hope it's as good as Armour Wars =D

He seems to really get what the UU is all about, which is always a plus. The series sounds great, and I hope it will be. I'm really curious if the "past events" are just moments from Tony's past or if we'll actually see references to past Ultimate moments.

It will explore the origins of STARK industries and how Ironman came to be, such as why Tony is always so eager to throw himself into danger. Does he want to harm himself? Why does he have such little regard for his health? These questions will be answered in 'The Demon in the Armor' mini.

I think the majority of the title will take place in the past, with flash-forrwards to present day, similarly to Ultimate Comics: Thor. I think the Mandarin will feature mostly in the past and will be one of the main reasons why Tony is so careless with his life. Then the Mandarin will return in present day, so Tony puts on his new alien-inspired armor and then flys off to defeat him once and for all. I think this will be a very emotional story and a lot more eventful than UC: Armor Wars. I can't wait to see how truly ultimatized this Mandarin is.

Yeah, I'm a bit less worried about him now. Maybe Grifter just wasn't his thing. The fact that in the Newsarama interview he differentiated between Ultimate Tony and movie Tony makes him awesome. He really does understand what makes the UU, U. Can't wait to read this.

I actually liked his Grifter run as well. The problem was that noone was going to pick his book up because there were more New 52 stories to pick up. Overall he had a sense of direction but because there were not a lot of people reading it I think editorial fired him. But at least he went out with a bang.

This sounds like it'll be real good. Can't wait for some preview art. Nathan Edmondson's Grifter, and Image books are real good, so I'm interested to see what he does with this book.
