In Looper’s exclusive preview of Marvel Comics’ “The Invincible Iron Man” #20 (by Gerry Duggan, Andrea Di Vito, Bryan Valenza, and VC’s Joe Caramagna), Tony Stark provides updates on what’s happening in his life as of late. From the fall of Krakoa and his efforts to get his fortune back after Orchis and Feilong were exposed as evil actors to the Hellfire Club in New York falling amidst the chaos, he has a lot on his plate. But none of that is as big as the most important thing at the moment: making sure his closest friend in the world, James “Rhodey” Rhodes, is freed from prison.
While court is in session, the judge apologizes to Rhodey after dismissing his murder charges with extreme prejudice. As Tony and Rhodey celebrate their victory with She-Hulk, she reminds Tony that his annulment to Emma Frost is almost complete. Surprisingly, the Avenger tells his super-lawyer to hold off on filing the papers to end his marriage. For some reason, he doesn’t appear to be quite ready to end his relationship with the X-Men’s White Queen — could he have developed real feelings for his unlikely ally? Stranger things have happened, after all.
