Stark Industries' arms-manufacturing days are over; Stark Resilient is bringing modern tech to the masses without bringing innocent people to their knees with the destruction of war. But what Stark doesn't know is that there's a competitor on the scene, a mother/daughter team (with a very familiar name) ready to pick up the slack with an armor called Detroit Steel. And they've started a deadly game of international intrigue that will bring one of Iron Man's deadliest foes back into the fray!"--P. [4] of cover.
