It's interesting that Iron Man often fights Fantastic Four villains. Doom, Namor, Red Ghost, Blastaar. Possibly because Tony and Reed are both variations on the heroic mad scientist archetype.
"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
He's in that one quite a bit.
But he's mentioned throughout the other issues (and may have a cameo in the first or second one, I can't remember which one). And someone impersonating him in the one before this last one. So there's some backstory there. It's kind of a series for younger people, I think.
Basically Peter is at a Stark science camp for the summer.

Still waiting on your thoughts regarding issue #3 Tony Stark.
Years before Kal-El ever landed from Space; tales were told of the ultimate warrior/hero; Conan the Barbarian!

I have been thinking lately about getting into Iron Man. I have never been very interested in the character outside of the Avengers but lately I have been curious in diving more into his history and the character himself.
Would you guys recommend starting with his 1960's run if you are a person who like to read start to finish or do you feel that it would deter you from reading further?
The reason why I ask is because with some earlier runs if you start at the beginning you may not get to the good stuff. An example would probably be the X-Men.....
Idea's Open Discussion And Growth. Silencing Idea's Confirms Them To Be True In The Minds Of Those Who Hold Them. The Attempt Of Eliminating Idea's Proves You To Be A Fool.
From my experience, you should start in a place that feels comfortable. The thing is that writers can be inconsistent or approach the character in different ways. The mainstream versions are always a little complicated given it's a continuously ongoing title. But dropping into something with a clear beginning, middle, and end, is always a better way to start if you want to jump around since omnibus titles can be expensive and given the franchise age, it's harder and harder to find older issues.
I would also say that in this case if you want predominantly Tony Stark not to pick up the Bendis run as post-Civil War 2, Riri Williams takes over the book. I'm also reluctant to recommend Infamous Iron man in this case as while it's Iron man history, it's also probably not the kind of thing you're looking for and is all things considered far removed from how a typical Iron man book is framed.
If you can find a good price on a collection then I'd say go for it, but it's also easy to jump around to reprinted runs.
