Superior Iron Man #1

Liz says: If you haven’t been reading Axis (you should, btw, it’s actually way more fun than I’d ever expected) all you need to know is that a spell cast mid-battle by the Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange had the unexpected side-effect of turning all the heroes present into villains and vice versa. Tony Stark was one of those heroes. And now… he’s a jerk: a pompous, misogynist, self-serving, stupendous D-bag. The spell brings out the worst personality traits in a ‘good’ guy and the best qualities out in a ‘bad’ guy, and Tony’s worst qualities are all about ego, excess, and yes folks, alcohol. Back on the bottle, fresh outta the hot tub, and still smart as ever, Tony Stark is no longer using his genius in the service of anyone but himself. This is the Superior Iron Man, and it’s really, really good. Pick it up now!
