The adventures of inventor and Avenger Tony Stark take a turn for the
extraordinary as his ESP-empowered fiancée, Marianne Rodgers, is
tormented by visions of Iron Man’s death. Joined by the Guardsman, Iron
Man faces a host of enemies as each hero’s abilities are pushed to their
limits — with tragic consequences.
As if that wasn’t drama
enough, the Board of Directors vies to force Tony from his own company;
protesters riot at the gates; and Firebrand, the Super-Adaptoid and the
Cyborg-Sinister strive to make Iron Man’s death a reality. Also
featuring Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith’s stunning retelling of
Iron Man’s origin, this volume is a Masterworks must for every Iron Man
fan.
