Kurt Busiek's Iron Man run arrived in the wake of the disastrous 'Heroes Reborn' era and the task of restoring Tony Stark to dignity and coherence. Busiek — whose Marvels and Avengers work had already re-established him as the leading reconstructionist writer in superhero comics — approached the assignment with characteristic intelligence and craft. This omnibus collects his complete run, including the 'Ultron Unlimited' tie-in material and his work rebuilding Tony's relationships, public identity, and moral compass after years of editorial drift. A clean, confident, collector-worthy volume.

Kurt Busiek and George Pérez's Avengers run is the definitive modern-era Avengers series — a deeply character-focused, mythology-respectful, beautifully drawn restoration of the team's greatness following the disastrous Crossing and Heroes Reborn period. Their opening Morgan le Fay storyline reset the team's direction with immediate clarity, and Busiek spent the next four years demonstrating that the Avengers format at its best was about character ensembles, earned emotional moments, and threats that were genuinely worthy of the assembled heroes.
