Tim Gunn Dons Tony Stark's Suit

Fashion mogul, Tim Gunn (of TV's Project Runway), will don the Iron Man suit in an upcoming Marvel Comics mini-series featuring the TV host and fashion critic. The too-cleverly titled Models, Inc. begins during New York's Fashion Week and co-stars Mary Jane Watson/Parker (now billed sans last name) and Patsy Walker (the current, tough-as-nails-but-twice-as-hot "babe" of the MU, Hellcat), as well as Millicent Collins, aka Millie the Model - the latter of whom starred in her own comics series back in the 1940s.

I don't guess we'll be giving much away to tell you that Gunn dons the suit to save the day. Of course, this is one of those that could go either way: each and every one could be worth something 10-20 years from now for the same reason they could all be worth less than cover: it features Tim Gunn, a fashion dude who would not be known outside that rather secular world were it not for the advent of reality TV, which is almost certainly a fad of the 2000-2010 decade.
