Tony Stark reclaims the iron mantle! But being "dead" has taken its toll on his body, and Tony must take extreme measures to keep being Iron Man. What does this mean for James Rhodes, who wore the armor in Tony's absence — and who is furious that his "best friend" lied to him? Tony must unravel the Controller's conspiracy, battle the Technovore aboard a Stark satellite, and face MODAM and Omega Red while investigating a dangerous deal with AIM. But who — or what — is the Face Thief?! Plus, celebrate Iron Man's 30th anniversary with tales spanning his heroic career...including the classic debut of Squirrel Girl! And dive deep into Tony's creative process with the Iron Manual!
