THE SCOOP: If this series hadn't been rebooted, this would have been the 400th issue - so we're celebrating with a special double-sized issue!

THE STORY: At last, Tony Stark and the man called Temujin meet face-to-face, as the web weaved by destiny draws them into an inevitable conflict which can only end one way! And end it does -- with a status quo-altering decision by Iron Man, in a second story both written and illustrated by Mike Grell! Plus a special 400th issue gallery featuring pieces by George Tuska, Sean Chen and Bob Layton! All this, and a cover by manga legend Kia Asamiya!

THE BUZZ: "In many ways, this seems like a Marvel Knights relaunch. Even though the old numbering continues and the series carries the standard Marvel logo, the moral complexities of the story introduce elements more commonly found in the MK line. Artist Michael Ryan adds a sleek, sophisticated look to the book; his fluid linework and detailed design seem perfectly suited for Iron Man, as he is perfectly skilled with the technological and the human sides of the story." -Comic Shop News

THE FORMAT: 54 pages, with ads.
