Publisher’s description

Iron Man goes rogue, so Tony Stark fires him! But wait, aren't they the same person? As Armor Wars continues, Iron Man reclaims Stark's technology in a deadly battle with the villainous Raiders -- but when he attacks scientist and hero Stingray, public opinion of the Golden Avenger falls lower than ever! How will Stark get out of this one?
