This is awful. It starts being awful on the cover. No, Iron Man has not been hit with some kind of purple ooze–that’s his armor. He has pimp-colored armor.

Iron Man fights a bunch of familiar characters when MODOK creates a legitimate tech company but doesn’t do legitimate things with it. There are guest stars. In the end, Tony reunites with Happy Hogan and Pepper Potts and decides to form a new Stark company–and try buy get his old one back.
And it just is awful the entire way through.
