Iron Man by Michelinie, Layton & Romita Jr. Omnibus #1

In "At the Mercy of My Friends!", Tony Stark finds himself betrayed by those he trusted as a rogue SHIELD cell targets him to seize control of Stark International and revive its weapons manufacturing. With his Iron Man armor failing inexplicably, Stark must rely on his wits and the loyalty of those closest to him—though even their intentions may not be what they seem.

In "The Old Man and the Sea Prince!", Tony Stark crash-lands in the Atlantic after a clash between U.S. military forces and the Sub-Mariner, forcing Iron Man to dive into the deep to survive—and fight. As he battles the sea prince beneath the waves, a shadowy conspiracy brews on land, with Justin Hammer pulling strings behind Iron Man’s latest armor failures.

In "A Ruse by Any Other Name...", Iron Man and the Sub-Mariner uncover a dangerous conspiracy when they realize Roxxon is secretly exploiting the island’s vibranium-rich core. As they battle Hale’s forces, the true extent of Roxxon’s ambitions comes to light—only for the island to be obliterated, erasing all evidence of the company’s involvement.

In "Pieces of Hate!", Iron Man thwarts a trio of villains—Blizzard, Melter, and Whiplash—during a high-stakes heist at an Atlantic City casino. Later, as Stark International’s representative, he attends a United Nations signing ceremony to secure a new electronics plant in Carnelia, only for a catastrophic malfunction to turn his unibeam against the Carnelian ambassador.

In "The Monaco Prelude," Tony Stark, stripped of his Iron Man armor and grappling with personal demons, seeks a crash course in self-defense from Captain America. When a lead on Justin Hammer surfaces through Scott Lang at the Stark International research annex, Stark and Rhodes race to Monaco—only to be ambushed by Hammer’s forces before they can uncover the truth.

In "The Hammer Strikes!", Tony Stark is taken prisoner by Justin Hammer, who's built a floating fortress to carry out his scheme. With the truth behind the Iron Man armor malfunctions exposed and the Carnelian ambassador's death on his conscience, Stark must break free and face the dozen villains Hammer has assembled. Armed with a backup suit and his wits, Iron Man prepares to fight his way out—before the next strike lands.

In "... A Man's Home Is His Battlefield!", Iron Man fights off Justin Hammer’s armored enforcers in a high-stakes clash that spills through the streets of Monaco. With Rhodey and the local police at his side, he pushes back the assault—yet Hammer slips away, leaving Tony Stark isolated in the aftermath. Haunted by the lingering shadow of a murder conviction and the weight of public distrust, Tony spirals into self-destruction, driving away those who care for him, including Jarvis, as the line between hero and villain blurs in the wreckage of his own home.

In "Dread Night of the Dreadnought!", Tony Stark finds himself at odds with SHIELD after they take control of Stark International, forcing him to reconsider his stance on weapon development. With tensions rising and loyalty tested, Iron Man faces off against a newly deployed Dreadnought robot—launched on orders from an unseen "the Director"—in a high-stakes clash that pushes him to his limits.

In "Doomquest," Doctor Doom harnesses the time cube to hunt ancient mystical secrets, inadvertently triggering a crisis that drags Iron Man and Doom into the past. With Doom trapped in Latveria under the rule of his rival Zorba, and Stark International entangled in the timeline's unraveling, the two adversaries must navigate a world where their fates are no longer their own—led by a vengeful scientist who once served Doom.
