Back in 2000, David Michelinie and Layton pitched this concept of the ‘last Iron Man story ever told.” 
After the span of almost a decade and several ‘false starts’, this project has finally reached fruition.
Decades in the future, a 70+ Tony Stark is overseeing his ultimate project of his lauded career—the completion of Earth’s first commercial space elevator, whose inauguration will change the world’s economy and the future of space exploration forever. However, not everyone is looking forward to this project’s launch with the same enthusiasm as the head of Stark Universal. Sinister forces are at work, behind-the-scenes, to insure that Stark’s pinnacle scientific achievement ends in disaster.

Tentatively scheduled to be published this November, in conjunction with the Iron Man movie’s DVD release, this story was conceived and plotted by David Michelinie and Bob, scripted by David, pencilled by Valiant alum Bernard (Second Life of Dr. Mirage) Chang and inked by Bob. The fantastic colors are by Bob's former head colorist at Valiant--Mike Cavallaro!
