With each successive appearance, Tony Stark’s gear has evolved and become more streamlined, more organic in its appearance. The Mark 50 armour may just be the sum total of ten year’s worth of scientific advancements and while you’ll have to wait until April 27 to see it in action, you can take a peek at the suit below thanks to collectible manufacturers supreme Hot Toys.

A new creative team! New villains! New directions! New #1 issues! IT’S…Tuesday at Marvel Comics. The iconic comic book brand may be known as the house of ideas, but that idea has largely been singular in the last couple of years as the publisher has relaunched comic book after comic book with several new fresh starts that have left fans fatigued and retailers angry.

Marvel may be looking to the future by dipping back into it’s past with Legacy this week, but it’s also tidying up its universe before its main attraction returns. One of the casualties of the new heroic age on the way? An Iron Man far more…infamous than previous holders of the title. This week saw Victor Von Doom’s solo series come to an end. After a year of action, intrigue and a global manhunt for the most wanted former supervillain alive, Doom finally found the entity responsible for pulling his strings.
