A bold new adventure for the biggest hero of 2008! You know you love him! And as the summer’s most anticipated movie boot-jets its way into theaters, here’s the perfect jumping-on point for new readers and Iron Man fans alike, courtesy of Matt Fraction and Salvador Larroca! Tony Stark – Iron Man, billionaire industrialist and director of S.H.I.E.L.D. – faces the most overwhelming challenge of his life. Ezekiel Stane, the son of Tony’s late business rival and arch¬enemy Obadiah, has set his sights, his genius and his considerable fortune on the task of destroying Tony Stark and Iron Man. What’s worse, he’s got Iron Man tech, and he’s every bit Iron Man’s equal and opposite…except younger, faster, smarter…and immeasurably evil!

Editor Tom Brevoort says this is “entry point Iron Man” to give people who are walking out of the film a place to jump on. “It’s a big story – it’s picking up on some of the seeds that Matt [Fraction] has planted in The Order…it’s Iron Man the way you want to see Iron Man – armored up, facing big, technological threats, big sweeping stories, cool exec, heart of steel, millionaire playboy inventor by day, armored avenger by later in the day. It should be pretty good.”
