Iron Man Epic Collection #18

In "Judgment Day," Iron Man and Rhodey face off against a wave of deadly battledroids sent to eliminate him, forcing a tense reunion of old allies. After Stark confesses he kept secrets, Rhodey accepts the War Machine armor—marking a turning point that leads him to join the Avengers West Coast.

In "Trade War," Tony Stark, still recovering in a wheelchair, is forced to confront a dark secret: Stark Enterprises secretly sold nuclear materials to AIM after Rhodey demanded the company exit the weapons trade. Sending an LMD to negotiate the return of the shipment, Tony is blindsided when MODAM’s forces destroy the robot—prompting him to take direct control of the Iron Man armor. Now caught between MODAM’s forces and AIM’s ambitions, Tony must fight on multiple fronts—until Omega Red arrives, hunting MODAM with lethal intent.

In "Whipsaw!", Tony Stark finds himself caught between a dangerous deal and a high-stakes rescue when he agrees to return stolen nuclear material in exchange for saving MODAM from Omega Red. Just as he's about to face the mission, his team throws him a surprise party—adding pressure to a situation already teetering on the edge.
