Tony Stark is ready to re-engage! With Korvac, the Power Cosmic and a nasty morphine addiction behind him, Tony re-enters the world. But things don't go exactly as planned, and Iron Man soon finds himself battling a hyper-intelligent gorilla through the streets of New York! Then, a trip to California leaves Tony stranded in the southwestern desert with malfunctioning armor - and things go downhill from there!

Iron Man is marooned in a small colony on a remote planet! A message from home warns him that Korvac is still a threat, but recovering from his injuries means pain medication - which might mean a relapse. Will Tony succumb to the temptation that has plagued him for years?
