This isn't a bad guy. This isn't a villain. This is something monstrous and magical. Beyond science; beyond reason. This is the face of a miracle. A real and true and tragic-beyond-imagination miracle.

Synopsis for "Fear Itself Part 2: Cracked Actor"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Invincible Iron Man (Vol. 2) #505
The issue begins with a flashback, between a young Tony Stark, and his father, who lectures him on the costs of waging war. In the present in Paris, France Tony finds himself on a pile of the scattered statue like corpses left behind by Mokk.
Anthony Stark (Earth-616) from Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 505 002

Tony Stark is faced with the carnage that is Paris, France.

Clearly shaken by the devastating casualties inflicted by Mokk, Tony tries to fight off the magically powered villain but finds himself unable to really damage it. The fight is interrupted however by the appearance of Doug Johnson in his Detroit Steel suit. In an ill-fated attempt at oneupmanship, Johnson's suit is torn apart and Mokk turns him to stone with his Grey Gargoyle gaze. Tony attempts to wound the monster with an energy blade from his suit, an attack that seems to actually wound Mokk, but due to catastrophic damage to his suit he is forced to flee back to Stark Resilient. While at the office Tony swipes a bottle of alcohol from under the nose of Pepper Potts, flying off into the night, implying Tony's slide back to his dangerous alcoholism.

Synopsis for "Fear Itself Part 3: The Apostate"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Invincible Iron Man (Vol. 2) #506
Tony Stark, inebriated for the first time in years, summons Odin the All-Father with a desperate plea. He begs Odin to allow him to use Asgardian magical re-courses to design weapons that the people of the Serpent besieged Earth could use to fight off the nearly invincible Worthy. Odin allows Stark access to Svartalfheim, the forges of Asgard where he meets Splitlip, the Dwarven master of the forge who agrees to help Tony build his new weapons.
Furnaces of Nidavellir from Invincible Iron Man Vol 2 506 001

Tony Stark enters Svartalfheim for the first time.

Meanwhile on Earth Pepper Potts dons her Rescue armor to fly into France in an attempt to stop Mokk in his rampage. At the same time Justine Hammer and the Hammer Battle Group plan the same thing, ordered by the U.S. military to intervene in Paris. Once they're in the city the Hammer Battle Group attack Pepper in her armor, while Mokk watches from the shadows.

In Svartalfheim Tony enjoys the effects of his intoxication while working alongside the dwarves there, even going as far as to briefly brawl with an unpleasant one named Tooth. He sinks even further into his alcoholism by having a drink with them.
