(May, 1991) "First Blood."

Script: John Byrne. Art: Paul Ryan/Bob Wiacek.
Tony/IM continues to think back to his origin, while pondering his present-day fate (which ain't good). Byrne adds to the IM-origin mythos, injecting the Mandarin into the Wong Chu intrigue. Neat weaving of the (drawn-out) Mandy subplot into Tony's memories. We also get to see that Wong Chu survived IM's attack from TOS #39, but he didn't make it past Mandy's wrath! Great panel featuring the many IM armors on pg. 29.
Hube's Recommendation: 3 1/2 repulsors!
