Iron Man 2001

In 2001, Marvel launched a new ongoing Iron Man series helmed by writer Chris Claremont and artist Michael Ryan, offering a fresh take on the armored Avenger. This short-lived volume, running just one issue, marked Claremont’s brief but notable return to the Marvel Universe outside the X-Men corner. Though its run was cut short, it stands as a curious footnote in the character’s history—a single, self-contained glimpse of what the iconic writer might have done with Tony Stark.
