best uncollected/not properly collected Iron Man stories?

[victorxd1999]

What are some great Iron Man stories you can't easily find in a collected edition? I'm looking for some good single issues to pick up at my LCS sale

Nobody? Pretty please

Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin was a fun mini. Also, check out Knauf's run on Iron Man: Director of SHIELD. It started up right after Ellis' Extremis storyline, and IMO is one of the most criminally underrated Iron Man stories ever (probably because it was sandwiched in between Civil War and Fraction's excellent Iron Man run). Very slow burn story, but it pays off in making the Mandarin a force to be reckoned with, and having what I would consider one of the most brutal superhero fights ever, between Iron Man and Mandarin. Why they didn't use this idea for Iron Man 3, I'll never know.

I love the Knaufs run. Very underrated

Big fan of the Len Kaminski/Kev Hopgood/Tom Morgan run (Iron Man #278-318), which has only been partially collected - part of it are in the Operation Galactic Storm and Hands of the Mandarin trades, and there's a good chunk of it in Iron Man: War Machine. The whole thing's up on Marvel Unlimited, though.

Most of Iron Man Vol 3 is uncollected. He becomes Secretary of Defense around issues 70-83 or so. They feature some awesome Adi Granov covers.
The Dennis O'neil run between the Iron Monger storyline and the Enemy Within Epic Collection(Vol 1 #178-192) have Rhodey in the armor with Obadiah Stane as the overarching villain. I know the first Iron Legion story from around vol 1 #295-305 is uncollected. I haven't read it but would like to see it collected. Might be worth checking out.

Has the Stane saga ever been collected, comprehensively? #163 to #200. Tony's epic collapse into alcoholism, Rhodey's run as Iron Man, the unfortunately named Circuits Maximus, and the epic final showdown.

Well said. I totally agree.

Agreed with you also. There is some good stuff that hasn't been covered.

Enter the Mandarin is great and it has been collected in trade. I have it. Also they could easily use the Knaufs run for an Iron Man 4 if they do it. If they make Tony head of Shield after Civil War. Extremis has already been introduced and with the short film they did itt was proven that Guy Pierces character wasn't the real deal. It would be the perfect set up.
