“Soliloquy In Silence”

In "Soliloquy In Silence," Iron Man faces a desperate race against time when a bomb detonates during a mission to decontaminate his orbiting space station from a deadly AIM virus. Trapped under tons of debris with his air supply dwindling and the station set to self-destruct—dooming him to burn alive during re-entry—Tony Stark must confront his own limits in silence. Written by Bob Layton and illustrated by John Romita Jr., with inks by Harry Candelario and colors by Paul Becton, this gripping issue features a cover by John Romita Jr. and Bob Layton.
