International Iron Man, Issue #5 starts off with a young Tony Stark (pre-Iron Man) at his father's funeral, drunk, talking with Nick Fury. Then it skips forward 20 years to Bulgaria, where Tony Stark as Iron Man is tracking down his parentage, and he just happens to be at the Gillespie compound, where his former lover, Cassandra, thinks she's holding him hostage. After that's sorted out, he finally finds out who his true birth mother is, and he gets to meet her.
This is a great series, chalked full of romance, adventure, intrigue, and mystery. In fact, Issue #5 is my favorite of the series so far, although I really like Issue #1, which introduces the situation and Tony's romance with Cassandra Gillespie. Throughout the series so far, page-space has been split between 1996 and 2016, creating a nice contrast between the young, emotional Tony Stark, and the much less emotional (it would seem) Iron Man.
