Back home, the Masters of Silence are waiting - and to defeat them, Tony needs to build a new armor unlike any other! But with Justin Hammer gunning for him, will he live long enough to get used to it? Or will the suit be a better fit for James Rhodes? When Tony's health finally gives out for good, Rhodey must face his destiny - as a War Machine! But which is worse: fi lling Iron Man's boots or running Stark Enterprises? Guest-starring Darkhawk, the West Coast Avengers - and a lineup of classic villains from Blizzard to Blacklash!
