The Invincible Iron Man, Volume 1 by Matt Fraction

Remote controlled Iron Man suits and SHIELD soldiers (the agency that Tony Stark directs that's connected to the Avengers) are able to stop most of the attacks, but Stark is forced to use EMPs to disable the electronics. Stark finds out that Stane is planning to attack every Stark Industries factory at once with his army suicide bombers. Stark decides to sell off some of his obsolete equipment with hidden tracking bugs to the black market, and Zeke Stane takes the bait. Stark discovers that they tried to place a tracking bug on his Iron Man suit, and gets the idea to use a similar idea after playing a game of chess with Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow in the movies) is injured in the Taiwan attack, and Tony Stark sees Zeke Stane walking away smiling.The Chinese government drives Tony Stark away in remote-controlled mechs, because it secretly desires Stark Industries secrets that might be in the building's remains.

Iron Man attends the funeral for the victims of the attack in the Philippines and has a brief argument with Thor (it's kind of funny to have a Christian funeral when a Norse god in full regalia is one of the mourners, by the way). A series of unusually powerful suicide bombings strike a Tanzanian village, a ceremony to honor Filipino superheroes, and a Stark Industries party in Taiwan. His fears are confirmed when Ezekiel Stane, son of long-time villain Obadiah Stane (the Jeff Bridges character in the movie), acquires old pieces of Stark Industries technology and starts a business that profiteers from terrorism. The reason why Stark Industries does not manufacture Iron Man suits for the masses is precisely because bad guys might get them. I am no expert on comics, though I have some experience reading Marvel comics and watching Linkara's reviews on Atop The Fourth Wall.'The Five Nightmares' in the title refers mostly to Tony Stark's fear that his enemies will find out how to build Iron Men of their own, or even surpass Tony Stark.

movies, though it does have some events that may be confusing to the uninitiated. Review 2: The Invincible Iron Man series by Matt Fraction is a good place to begin with Iron Man comics for fans of the. Man did I want to punch Spiderman a lot of that story though. The Epilogue story with Spiderman though shows another aspect of Tony. Considering how terrible the tech is on its own, and Pepper's own feelings on it when she has to deal with a lot of it herself, you can't help but fear right along with Tony. The son of an old foe comes onto the scene and he has upgraded the technology in terrifying ways and cannot be bought over or stopped. One of those is that someone will improve the Iron Man technology and that someone won't be him. Review 1: Tony Stark has a few nightmares that keep him up at night.
