Avengers Vol 8 #31
| ||||||||||
I know the Devil will be back. For one last temptation. And if you can't beat 'em, well, you know what they say...Luckily, I've never given a damn what people say. It's one of my only redeeming qualities. But right now, I don't need to be redeemed. I just need to survive. And here's the thing that defines who I am in the best and worst of ways. Tony Stark does his best work...when he's working to not die.

Solicit Synopsis
THE TEMPTATION OF ANTHONY STARK!
Special Oversized Issue! Trapped in an icy cave at the dawn of time, Tony Stark has lost most of his armor and a good chunk of his mind. And tonight when the sun goes down and the devil comes round again, Iron Man may very well lose whatever’s left of his soul. A dark tale of hell and ice and iron, unlike any Golden Avenger story you’ve ever read, featuring the gorgeously gritty visuals of guest artist Gerardo Zaffino (CONAN THE BARBARIAN).
Trivia
- Iron Man's pose in the page that debuts his Ice Age Armor is a homage to the cover of Iron Man #126.[1]
