Iron Man 2 Update: Regarding Public Idetity...

Seen Iron Man 2 already? I'm sure many of you did, and despite some mixed reviews and opinions we all have and share, it's still a pretty solid sequel that's worth viewing for the superhero fan in you. Now, what comes next after shellhead's second outing on the big screen? Plenty. No doubt many of you already got a tease of what's coming next after seeing the post-credits scene at the end of the film, and it involves a certain Norse God Of Thunder and his own movie, still due on May 6 of next year. However, with everything building up to the Avengers movie, what is next for Iron Man after Iron Man 2? Well, if you're one of the comic book collecting faithful, you're probably aware of the miniseries that launched two weeks ago to coincide with the new movie's release - Iron Man 2: Public Identity.

A three issue prequel story written by Iron Man 2 screenwriter Justin Theroux, Public Identity chronicles the events that occur within the 6 month gap between the first movie and second, taking place immediately after Tony utters the words "I Am Iron Man", revealing his dual identity to the entire world. How everything goes from point A to point B takes off from there, with Stark living the celebrity superhero life by chasing women and defeating the bad guys. However, with Tony pulling out of the weapons manufacturing business and revealing the Iron Man armor to the public, pressure from the government goes to an all time high, with the higher ups adamant at having the billionaire industrialist turn over his technology to them. Of course, Tony has no intention of sharing his knowledge with anyone, for fear of his tech being misused and falling into the wrong hands. But even without Stark's technology with them, a high ranking military figure with close ties to Tony's past wastes no time in waiting for a golden egg to appear, instead setting into motion plans that will force Iron Man to intervene and save the day. This series also gives a closer look into the past life of Tony's dad, Howard Stark, as well as his relationships with his son, Obadiah Stane, and the father of Ivan "Whiplash" Vanko himself, Anton Vanko. With issue number three due next week, now is a perfect time to catch up and enjoy more Iron Man movie goodness by reading this series. For more info and details, hop online and visit Marvel.com!
