Iron Man No More: Fraction's next storyline will bring 'a new Iron Man'

In an interview posted today on Marvel.com series writer Matt Fraction gave some hints and clues to the next arc in Invincible Iron Man following the conclusion of the currently running 'Demon' storyline.

From Fraction:

“As we’ll see at the end of ‘Demon,’ General Babbage, [Tony’s] primary antagonist at the Pentagon, and Justine Hammer of HAMMER Industries, present Tony with an ultimatum. Accepting it is the only way he can remain in control of the Iron Man without losing everything. And Tony very quickly finds that arrangement to be unacceptable. The ramifications of that are what ‘Long Way Down’ is all about. 

So basically…Tony quits.”

That's how Fraction describes 'Long Way Down' which will begin with May's Invincible Iron Man #516. Ominously he also describes that storyline in relation to his and long time artistic collaborator Salvador Larocca's long run on the book.

“It's the third act. The grand finale. The beginning of the end."
