Interview: Spencer Ackerman talks his new Iron Man kicking off October 23rd!

1. Spencer Ackerman, thank you for joining us on the AIPT comics podcast! To start, you’re a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, could you tell the audience a little about yourself, and how you got into comics?
2. There’s a lot of “new” with this series, including a new Iron Man armor, a new Iron Monger, was your original pitch to Marvel new new new, or did that come later?
3. I gotta say, JULIUS OHTA has been crushing it of late, especially on his Hellverine series. From an artistic perspective, what are you and Ohta going for?
4. From the first cover reveal I’m getting a steampunk vibe, am I way off?
5. Roxxon and A.I.M. are teaming up, how would you say these evil corps are the same and different?
6. We were big fans of WALLER VS. WILDSTORM here at AIPT, what can fans of that expect from your Iron man run?
7. Everyone loves a good new suit, but what aspects of Tony are you working to lift up?
8. If your first story arc was a song, what would it be and why?
   1. NC - From the Depths - Murderers
9. Do you have any other projects you’d like to plug today?
