Aug 05, 2026Iron Man #8 demonstrates that Joshua Williamson has a clear long-term vision for Tony Stark. Rather than resolving conflicts quickly, the series continues layering mysteries involving Madame Masque, AIM, Citizen V, and the School of Super-Science, making each chapter feel like an important piece of a larger puzzle.
