Marvel teases Invincible Iron Man's Long Way Down

It was an end of an era for Tony Stark following the events of Marvel's big crossover, Fear Itself. Tony is back on the bottle, his greatest foes have upgraded their tech, and a smear campaign is out there tarnishing his public image. Unfortunately for Stark and his alter-ego, Iron Man, writer Matt Fraction isn't going to stop there. He's going to bring Tony a "Long Way Down" with his next major arc within the pages of Invincible Iron Man.

As the current arc, "Demon", moves forward, Tony will be faced with another dilemma. The Pentagon's General Babbage and HAMMER Industries' Justine Hammer present Tony with an ultimatum, or else he'll lose everything. Meanwhile, there'll be tension between Mandarin and Ezekiel Stane.

Marvel and Fraction have released two teaser images for the first two parts of the "Long Way Down" arc, one with the text "Iron Man No More" and another with Tony pulling out the arc reactor within his chest.

Invincible Iron Man #516 arrives in stores later this year.
