INVINCIBLE
IRON MAN #1 |
|
Written
by MATT FRACTION
Pencils & 50/50 Variant Cover by SALVADOR LARROCA
A bold new ONGOING TITLE for the biggest hero of 2008!
IRON MAN! 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! 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 archenemy
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. Rising star writer Matt Fraction
(IMMORTAL IRON FIST) and superstar artist Salvador
Larroca (UNCANNY X-MEN) join forces to repulsor-ray your
comic books to a cinder! |
