Invincible Iron Man #1

In Invincible Iron Man #1 (2015), Tony Stark completes the latest iteration of his Iron Man suit, only to be interrupted by a dinner date with Dr. Amara Perera, a biophysicist who reveals she’s developed a cure for the mutant gene—though she’s decided not to use it. When his AI assistant Friday alerts him to a breach at Castle Doom, Stark jets off to Latveria, where he’s met not by the masked Doom he expects, but by a maskless Doctor Doom, who proposes an unlikely alliance. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by David Marquez—with cover art by Marquez—this issue launches a bold new era for Iron Man, blending high-stakes science, personal stakes, and a surprising partnership.
