Iron Man is commissioned by the government, to which he owes a lot of money after the "War of Armor", to carry out a mission in space.
He must reach a satellite for secret experiments, with which they no longer have contact.
When he reaches it he finds that all the scientists have been killed by the creature they created.
It is a living, organic satellite capable of fighting and killing from space.
Iron Man tracks him aboard his abandoned satellite and confronts him.
Although it is not a very original story, already seen in many versions, it is pleasant to read.
