SCOTT SUMMERS AND EMMA FROST DESERVED BETTER.
Extremis by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov would probably be a safe place to start, especially for a more modern Iron Man.
If you can afford it, the Kurt Busiek/Sean Chen omnibus collects their run on the title and it's a pretty awesome run at that .
The Fraction run is another good place to start, and volume 1 is titled "The Five Nightmares."
I second Extremis and the Busiek/Chen run, haven't read the Fraction stuff but yet but i've only heard good things. One of my personal favorites is the original War Machine story, and then for some other older classics there is Demon in a Bottle, Armor Wars, and Doomquest. For the most recent stuff, the Gillen is just kinda alright with a pointless big retcon, the Superior Iron Man book is fine but not what you really want probably, and avoid all the recent Bendis stuff.
The first issue of Invincible wasn't bad and the idea could work. I just don't trust Bendis to write it well. And do we really need a smug A.I. Tony Stark?
"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
Is there any other Tony besides Smug Tony? Besides, I wouldn't have him any other way.

Pre-RDJ Stark wasn't cocky or smug. He was more like TV Green Arrow: a stoic, somber character whose social life is a mess mainly because he is cold, secretive and manipulative even to those who crave honesty and warmth from him.
