Publisher’s description
The Celestials have finally come to destroy the Earth. For Tony Stark it is his last chance to show that he is not a traitor to his race. Turning his Mansion into a massive Iron Man mech, Tony rushes headfirst into battle against The Celestials, who are able to easily deflect his attacks, realizing he doesn't have much time before The Celestials decide to utterly annihilate him Tony races directly at The One Above All and slams into the Celestial Emperor's chest. He fails to do any damage to The One Above All however and dies shortly after emerging from the ruins of his Mansion and sees The Silver Surfers attacking Jemiah the Analyzer. It is then that Galactus (Franklin Richards) appears and prepares for his confrontation with The Celestials.
