IRON MAN #23
Operating in stealth mode with Jim Rhodes, Iron Man has landed in Macau and immersed himself in SOURCE CONTROL — the worst black market of stolen and illegal technology — all in order to organize a backroom buy of THE MANDARIN’S RINGS. It’s going to require Tony Stark-level capital and strategy, but SPYMASTER may have a different buyer — and a wicked double-cross — at the ready in order to pull the rug out from under Iron Man’s boots. It seems someone else is willing to pay top dollar for those rings and is ready to pull them out of Iron Man’s dead hands if they have to… THE COBALT MAN.
