Tony Stark's life takes a turn for the extraordinary when his ESP-empowered fiancée, Marianne Rodgers, is tormented by visions of Iron Man's death!

As if that wasn't drama enough, the Stark Industries' Board of Directors vies to force Tony from his own company as protesters riot at the gates! Then Iron Man goes cosmic with the first appearances of Thanos, Drax the Destroyer and Moondragon! And a gauntlet of classic villains - from the Mandarin to Whiplash - push our hero to his limits! It all stands against the backdrop of an increasingly tense love triangle between Tony Stark, Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan.

An Avenger vs. Avenger battle and Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith's stunning retelling of Iron Man's origin top off this epic era!
