In an exclusive reveal via IGN, details along with new covers/interior art pages were revealed regarding the wedding between Emma Frost and Tony Stark. Happening soon in X-Men #26 and Invincible Iron Man #10, this Marvel event that sees the best leaders of The Avengers and The X-Men come together will be set to release in September. With issues written by Gerry Duggan and art by Stefano Caselli (X-MEN #26), Juan Frigeri (INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #10), and Lucas Werneck with elegant cover art.
The premise is that X-Men #26 will see how Emma’s mutant family takes the news. Then, the family will join together for the ceremony in Iron Man. Where it takes place and what the future will hold is not certain, especially given Marvel’s track record for undoing Marriages (We’re Sorry Spider-Man and MJ).
“Neither seems like the marrying type,” Duggan said to IGN as to their thoughts regarding their marriage. “Why this works, and how this works, and how much fun this is whether their marriage works or not will need to be seen to be believed and you’ll have to buy it to find out! They certainly don’t seem like they’re ready to be married to anyone, let alone to each other, but life can change quickly.”
Life can indeed change quickly. As it was quite literally just last year when Tony was almost about to get married to Hellcat. As to why we’re going through this Tony-marriage arc again (albeit, Emma Frost is a much better partner in my opinion), Duggan then followed, “While both are image-conscious public figures, I have to say I don’t know that either would care what the public thinks. Love is love. That said, while they have little in common, they are both capitalists with a capital ‘C,’ so perhaps that’s a commonality that will allow their marriage to thrive.”
