IRON MAN #272
Sept., 1991) "Dragon Seed."
Cover art: Paul Ryan & Bob Wiacek.
Script: John Byrne. Art: Paul Ryan/Bob Wiacek.
In Red China, Rhodey (in the Iron Man armor) lies defeated at the foot of Fin Fang Foom! When Chinese officials show Tony Stark pix of his fallen comrade, Tony must remotely summon a new empty suit of armor to pick up the fight. With revealing flashbacks to the alien origin of Finny and the Mandarin's power rings, an appearance by Mandy himself, and some of the clumsiest wooing Tony Stark has ever engaged in (with neurological specialist Su Yin), this one's a full package. Too bad the art team is less than stellar.
xkot's Recommendation: 3 1/2 repulsors!
