We continue our look at great Iron Man Stories as we await the release of Iron Man 3.

Doom Quest pits the Marvel universe's best Meta villain, Dr. Doom against Iron Man. It's relatively short, set in issue 149 and 150 which marked the end of David Michelinie and Bob Layton's first run on Iron Man.

In Issue 149, Tony Stark stops a shipment of equipment to Latveria and Doom has it stolen. Iron Man and Doom battle and both get hurtled to Camelot where Doom seeks a favor from Morgana Le Fay and leads her army against Arthur. Iron Man fights on Arthur's side.

The comic is not epic-ally great, but it is pretty interesting. Iron Man has to deal with magic and he hates magic about as much as Indiana Jones hates snakes. He's really not set to deal with, but he acquits himself well.

The story includes a temporary truce between the two metal clad geniuses that's pretty well-drawn and fun to read.

Overall, this was a great two issue story that worked pretty well.

Rating: 4 shellheads out of 5.
