Tony is still having a lot of difficulty adjusting to being crippled, preferring the Iron Man armor to his regular life as Tony Stark. Meanwhile, the Dreadnoughts are up to something, which means the Maggia is up to something, which means Madame Masque is….hey, wait — isn’t she dead?? Smith’s version of IM isn’t quite up to snuff, but oh well….

The Maggia mystery continues — and somehow the FBI is involved! Who is Madame Masque?? An FBI agent requests Iron Man’s assistance is tracking down some Maggia bigwigs, but guess who shows up? A.I.M.!!! Classic Moment: Kathy Dare, escorted by former Stark attorney (now her lawyer) Bert Hindel, confronting Tony in a parking lot.

Iron Man is contacted by A.I.M. and Hydra to request his assistance is halting the recent Maggia aggression against both rival organizations. Apparently the Hulk is, too (and I have no idea what was going on with the Hulk in his own title at the time — he’s the gray version at this juncture)!! IM and Hulk make quick work of some Dreadnoughts, and IM even captures Madame Masque — albeit briefly. It’s revealed that the FBI had been working with the Maggia to help destroy A.I.M. and Hydra!

Footsteps
Fecha: 1989.11| Créditos: David Michelinie, Bob Layton (Guiones), Bob Layton (Dibujos)| Edición española: IRON MAN v2 #15, Marvel Gold. Iron Man: Ayer… y mañana (Panini).
SE computer whiz Abe Zimmer discovers a possible cure for Tony’s paralysis via the ‘web — and Stark is in a frenzy to take advantage of it! He even buys the company which manufactures the special «biochips» when some doctors have some reservations about using them on humans! Also, the trial of Kathy Dare begins — and ends! Great last splash page — but you’d better enjoy it while it lasts, Tony (‘cause you have only about 10 issues in which to enjoy it…!)

The doctor’s passion
Fecha: 1989.11| Créditos: David Michelinie, Bob Layton (Guiones), Bob Layton (Dibujos)| Edición española: Marvel Gold. Iron Man: Ayer… y mañana (Panini).
A mysterious artifact of unimaginable power appears in front of Doc Doom — and an identical artifact materializes at Stark Enterprises! What the heck is going on?? Well, if you remember about 100 issues ago….!! Vic V.D. launches an assault on SE to get the second half of the artifact; he succeeds, but when the two pieces are joined together, both he and Iron Man are whisked away to parts unknown!!

Acts of Vengeance: Recurring knightmare
Fecha: 1989.12| Créditos: David Michelinie, Bob Layton (Guiones), Bob Layton (Dibujos)| Edición española: Marvel Gold. Iron Man: Ayer… y mañana (Panini).
Double-sized anniversary issue which follows Doc Doom and Shellhead to….the future!! Specifically, it is the year 2093, and a pre-teen King Arthur is behind the previous issue’s artifact’s machinations! There’s treachery afoot in this supposedly serene future — evil versions of IM and Doc Doom are plotting an overthrow of the planet! See: Andros Stark, grandson of Arno (IM 2020), who is one nasty dude! See: the current Doc Doom — still alive, but almost completely a machine! Layton, who is usually better as an inker, does an outstanding job as both artist and inker here — his IM 2093 is brutal, and Bob sure makes him appear that way!

Michelinie and Layton are gone, and boy will you miss ‘em! This first of a two-part story is miserable — the story is wretched and Trimpe’s art, while always stiff, is made atrocious by Milgrom’s inks. The Wrecker is after Iron Man because this is an «Acts of Vengeance» issue (remember them?).

Continued from last ish: Now it’s Chemistro, master of the «transmuting gun,» that’s after Shellhead. The dialogue is awful as is the art (again). And just how in the heck does Chemistro’s gun actually work? You think a big brain like Stark would be more inquisitive! «I Don’t Read IM Too Much Dept.»: Stark Enterprises has a Stark Industries sign on its property on pg. 13. Good going, Dwayne!

Did you know that Bob Layton was supposed to take over the reins of IM for himself around this time — as writer and artist (to one degree or another)? Yep — and this is probably the first ish of such. Iron Man is after Madame Masque, but she stays ahead of him! But what makes this ish noteworthy is the rebirth of… Spymaster! The Taskmaster trains a group of recruits and the winner claims the Spymaster title! Also, kick-ass splash pages on the first and last page may be worth the cost of the ish alone!

Hey! We were promised the return of John Romita Jr. last issue! Oh well… another filler ish as Layton tries to work out his troubles with Marvel. Not as bad as you may remember — some nutty character named Freak Quincy shows up on SE property and causes a «freak» accident (with the help of a Russian hero named Devastator) leading to IM and the Crimson Dynamo switching minds!

Soliloquy in silence

Iron Man is trapped aboard his space station after agreeing to a mission in cooperation with another company — which will kill off the deadly A.I.M. virus still infesting the station! A.I.M. had an ace-in-the-hole, and Tony barely escapes with his life! It’s great to see JR Jr. back, but it would’ve been even better if Layton’s version of «Armor Wars II» had gotten published other than what we’ll see coming! (You can read all about Bob’s version of «Armor Wars II» at his website.)

Fecha: 1990.07| Créditos: John Byrne (Guiones), John jr. Romita (Dibujos)| Edición española: HULK-IRON MAN #1.
Well, it looks like Byrne got the nod to do «AW II» after things didn’t work out with Layton. «AW II» is a very cool concept, but a total misnomer (like, where’s all the armor??). This is the first chapter: Stark has mysterious pains in his back and shoulder, and we meet the enigmatic Kearson DeWitt! Also, someone is trashing SE’s nuclear facility! It looks like it’s…the Titanium Man??

Armor Wars II 2/9: Like all secrets, easily reveal

The Titanium Man is back from the dead to haunt Iron Man and SE…or is he? (By the way, this is supposedly the Gremlin T-Man, not Boris Bullski.) Later, Tony wakes up….after three days!? The mysterious DeWitt is behind it obviously, but what, exactly? The T-Man attacks again at the end of the ish — but it turns out to be… The Living Laser!! Oh yeah — the Mandarin shows up, too!

Side-by-side stories (each page split) of Iron Man’s travails against the mysterious Kearson DeWitt and the Mandarin’s exploits with the equally baffling Chen Hsu. Tony uses his «encephalo» circuitry to manipulate a remote unit of armor to rescue him, while the Marrs twins reveal more of their nasty plot!

SE’s best medical minds cannot find anything wrong with Tony Stark, but this certainly doesn’t convince Tony! The plot to «override» Stark’s nervous system is wholly revealed, and it seems to work perfectly — until Jim Rhodes steps in! He and Tony find a way to defeat DeWitt’s manipulations — using the «Encephalo Armor!» Elsewhere, Fin Fang Foom and the Mandarin plot.

Fin Fang Foom goes on the rampage in China — until the enigmatic Chen Hsu throws him back into slumberville! Back at SE, Tony tests his body inside the Encephalo Armor, which works fine, but he reveals that he «cannot feel his own body at all!» Then, to make matters worse, the Living Laser attacks anew! But this time, Wonder Man and Hank Pym lend a hand!

Tony and Rhodey continue to determine just how to thwart — and defeat — the machinations of Kearson DeWitt. Union guys harrass other SE employees, demanding to see Stark. But, they get Iron Man, who, shortly after scaring the union dudes, inexplicably falls to the earth — unconscious! Elsewhere: the Mandarin sub-plot continues to build!

Union members pound on the apparently lifeless body of Iron Man — until he suddenly sits bolt upright emitting a blood-curdling scream!! Behind this is — yep — Kearson DeWitt, who has uttered «It’s time to show Mr. Anthony Stark his long travail is only barely begun.» Rhodey snags the out-of-control IM (who is flying wildly all over southern California) and discovers the Marrs helicopter following them! IM then takes the fight right into DeWitt’s lair — until DeWitt himself confronts Shellhead — in armor!

The finale of «Armor Wars II!» (Hey — and we finally see some armor in this saga!) It’s Kearson DeWitt vs. Tony Stark — armor vs. armor! It’s a battle royal whose only weakness is the very weak background art. Rhodey arrives (armored up!) in the proverbial nick to save Stark’s hide, and they combine their power to blast DeWitt’s armor to hades! Upon their victory, Stark reveals he has no idea who DeWitt is!

Iron Man battles the lame Vibro, and has a hard time w/him due to his deteriorating nervous system. But, after a willful victory, Shellhead thinks back to his origin. Byrne takes apparent care not to mention «Vietnam,» opting instead for «Southeast Asia.» The Mandarin subplot continues….

Tony/IM continues to think back to his origin, while pondering his present-day fate (which ain’t good). Byrne adds to the IM-origin mythos, injecting the Mandarin into the Wong Chu intrigue. Neat weaving of the (drawn-out) Mandy subplot into Tony’s memories. We also get to see that Wong Chu survived IM’s attack from TOS #39, but he didn’t make it past Mandy’s wrath! Great panel featuring the many IM armors on pg. 29.

The hollow man

Opener featuring the Mandarin chopping up some hapless opponents with his martial arts prowess. *Yawn.* How long will this be drawn out? Meanwhile, Tony and Rhodey try to put off the «inevitable» (Stark’s death) as long as possible (Tony constructs his «neuro-web» to assist his decaying nervous system). Hey — do ‘ya think the call from the Chinese embassy to Tony will somehow get Mandy involved?? Oh yeah — the Black Widow shows up!

Tony and Rhodey (in the IM armor) fly to China as Dr. Su Yin may hold the key to curing Tony of his nerve degeneration! But — Mandarin «feels» that Stark is in his country (hooo boy!). China’s bigwigs do not want Stark’s money for the medical help, they want IM’s services to rid them of Mandy!

Dragon Seed Saga 1/4: Dragon seed
Fecha: 1991.09| Créditos: John Byrne (Guiones), Paul Ryan (Dibujos)| Edición española: GRANDES SAGAS 1 #1.
In Red China, Rhodey (in the Iron Man armor) lies defeated at the foot of Fin Fang Foom! When Chinese officials show Tony Stark pix of his fallen comrade, Tony must remotely summon a new empty suit of armor to pick up the fight. With revealing flashbacks to the alien origin of Finny and the Mandarin’s power rings, an appearance by Mandy himself, and some of the clumsiest wooing Tony Stark has ever engaged in (with neurological specialist Su Yin), this one’s a full package. Too bad the art team is less than stellar.

Meanwhile, Tony is battling Fin Fang Foom via an IM suit controlled by an «encephalo band» (an early version of the upcoming Telepresence connection)! Rhodey, still in armor, gets smacked around by the Mandarin, while Tony flies off — and the alien dragons converge on Mandy and Rhodey!

The origin of the Chinese dragon legend according to Byrne! The dragons want their rings back — but Mandy is loath to give ‘em up! Elsewhere, Su Yin tells Tony the «white lie» that she can probably help his medical condition. It’s great to see former IM artist Mark Bright back; his last splash page is worth the price of the ish alone!
Iron Man v1 #275
Dragon Seed Saga 4/4: Dragon doom / Moments unseen
Fecha: 1991.12| Créditos: John Byrne (Guiones), Paul Ryan (Dibujos)| Edición española: GRANDES SAGAS 1 #1.
Double-sized conclusion to the «Dragon Seed» saga. It’s Iron Man vs. the dragons — and the Mandarin…? Is he with Shellhead or against him? Byrne tries to make this a story of cosmic proportions, but it doesn’t seem to quite make it. Like the rest of this yarn, this ish seems too drawn-out. Mandy ends up «handless,» while Tony ponders death. Features a small story at the end where Tony meets the beautiful Su Yin’s husband

This ish is part 6 of the «Galactic Storm» saga where the Avengers infiltrate a huge Kree space station. IM has on his upgraded Space Armor, and its internal armor read-outs are simply spectacular!

Tony Stark’s hold on life is ever more tenuous, as the «Galactic Storm» has ended. However, a race known as «The Stark» need their «god’s» assistance in preserving their world!

Stark Enterprises is set up as the fall guy in a Japanese nuclear accident, but the CEO of Akane Fusion doesn’t know this and hence dispatches the Masters of Silence to rid the world of Tony Stark! Very cool «villains» (quotes b/c the Masters aren’t really villains) and a landmark issue for the last page alone — the debut of the WAR MACHINE armor! Wiacek compliments Hopgood’s art quite nicely.

Fecha: 1993.11| Créditos: Len Kaminski (Guiones), Tom Tenney (Dibujos)| Edición española: DESDE LAS CENIZAS #4.
An SE geothermal research facility has an accident — and one of its employees turns into…Earth Mover! Later, Stark gets the news and sends Iron Man on his way. It’s a shame Tom Tenney (of Force Works fame, or is it infamy?) didn’t do much art in this ish; Tom Morgan’s lame, even with an inker. This ish sets up the scene for the #300 extravaganza!

Ultimo is back! He’s been soaking up geothermal energy since issue #96, so he’s more than ready to take apart Shellhead! He vaporizes Earth Mover, and moves on to destroy anything in his path! He disassembles the Telepresence Armor without flinching, leaving Tony in a coma! A small separate vignette shows Mrs. Arbogast calling in reinforcements — namely Jim Rhodes and War Machine!!
Iron Man v1 #300
Appetite for destruction /The soft machine /The Iron Legion /Armored and dangerous
Fecha: 1994.01| Créditos: Len Kaminski (Guiones), Kevin Hopgood (Dibujos)| Edición española: DESDE LAS CENIZAS #5.
Ultimo is on the loose…and Jim Rhodes calls on those who know Tony Stark best to wear various past suits of Iron Man armor to assist him in defeating the robotic giant! First appearance of the Modular Armor! And Marcy Pearson has been up to no good the last couple of issues! This ish would rate a full five ‘pulsors, except the chapters done by Tom Morgan are hurried and cartoony. What a shame. Most issues have a special foil cover.
