But strangely enough, the issue devotes most of its time to a flashback of a particular event from Tony's college days.
To be more specific, the focus is on his encounter with a beautiful fellow student named Cassandra - but if he's going to manage to get some, uh, quality time with her, he'll have to find a way around her bodyguards.
It's a fun story the does eventually get around to modern times (though I'm still not sure where the "International" comes in).
It's a sharp script by Brian Michael Bendis, with wonderful, expressive art by Alex Maleev.
The series has Tony's "voice" down pat - and the issue manages to evoke an origin-like feel without actually recapping Iron Man's origin.
Fun!
