Publisher’s description

It's business as usual for dashing multi-millionaire Tony Stark and his armored alter ego, Iron Man, now that he's returned to the Marvel Universe- or is it? Tony must decide whether to wrest control of the Stark/Fujikawa Corporation from his business "partners" or seek to increase his already vast fortune in other ways. He'd better make up his mind quickly, before a mysterious third party hires the Deathsquad to make it up for him!
