The untold origin of Iron Man continues – written by international best-selling author Orson Scott Card! When last we saw him, young Tony Stark was nearly blown to bits.

Four-time Hugo Award-winner, two-time Nebula Award-winner and World Fantasy Award-winner Orson Scott Card (author of Ender's Game) returns to the Ultimate Universe, now joined by ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR's Pasqual Ferry!
