Don't let the big #1 fool you, the cover is for Iron Man #23… the first part of the new Rings Of The Mandarin story. The five-issue arc is being written by Kieron Gillen and with art by Luke Ross. The cover is by Mike Del Mundo and will be on sale this March.

Tony battles for his life against supernatural forces unlike anything he's ever faced before. The destructive and powerful Mandarin Rings have resurfaced, in search of new hosts. In the wrong hands, just one could cause untold destruction. And all ten are seeking out enemies of Tony Stark! But while the ten rings search for bearers – a deadly foe seeks to claim their power for his own. And it's not who you think it is! Thor: The Dark World foe Malekith the Accursed seeks their power, and it's up to Iron Man and some unlikely allies to take him down.

"Iron Man has faced magical and mythical threats before, but never one as absolutely devious, demented and driven as Malekith," says series Editor Mark Paniccia. "This issue introduces an epic rivalry that's sure to get the THOR editors all up in arms that we stole one of their best villains!"

But will the help of Dark Angel and his recently revealed brother Arno be enough to stop the power of the ten Mandarin Rings and Malekith the Accursed? You'll never guess who comes out on top when Rings of the Mandarin kicks off in IRON MAN 23.NOW this March!
