Stories

  • Dragon Seed · 22 pages

    Aliens crash land in the orient, explaining from whence came the stories of Dragons, and how Fin Fang Foom came to be on Earth. Most of the rest of the story is exposition and description of how fact got turned into legend. The ending comes as Iron Man comes face to face with Fin Fang Foom.

Publisher’s description

The Dragon Seed Saga begins! With Fin Fang Foom still on the loose Tony Stark must tap into his arsenal of armored suits! Will his efforts be enough to save China? Meanwhile, Black Widow races against the clock to stop World War III!
