Invincible Iron Man #9

In the wake of Tony Stark’s sudden disappearance, global tensions flare as allies and enemies alike react in unexpected ways: War Machine dismantles Yukio’s operation in Japan, a determined college student in Massachusetts begins crafting her own armor, and Doom quietly extends aid to Dr. Perera. Meanwhile, Stark remains hidden in plain sight, relying on an image inducer to stay off the grid. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and brought to life by Mike Deodato’s dynamic art, this pivotal issue explores the ripple effects of a hero’s absence—each thread pulling the world closer to an uncertain future. Cover by Mike Deodato.
