* Micheline. Layton.

Two voices that defined Iron Man come together to tell the untold story of his most dire hour Armor Wars 2!

These four issues are rather oddly numbered issue #s 258.1 thru 258.4.

For the reasoning behind this, we have to look back to the year 1990.

Michelinie had just departed from Iron Man. Layton was planning to remain as writer and inker, paired with penciler John Romita Jr.

The two were going to do a sequel to “Armor Wars,” and got so far as producing a prologue which ran in issue #256.

Then Layton was offered the opportunity to work at Valiant Comics, and so also dropped off the book. At the last minute, John Byrne came on-board to do his own version of “Armor Wars II” with Romita Jr. & Bob Wiacek.

That story commenced publication in Iron Man #258.

Hence the numbering of these issues, which see Layton, once again co-writing with Michelinie, presenting their take on “Armor Wars II,” based on his original plot.

Bizarrely, Marvel did not actually give these four issues an overarching title.
