Iron Man movie is just around the corner. See what comics hit the shelves in May.

Marvel will be pushing Iron Man in the comics with the movie out on May 2nd. Iron Man will have a bunch of solo books like the launch of The Invincible Iron Man (with 6 variant covers) and appears in more comics than Wolverine. Here is a list of all the books Iron Man appears on the cover of in May.
I’ve really got to recommend picking up the War Machine trade paperback. Chances are this book will be the source material for the second film. Of coarse that is just my own speculatio, but looking at that Mach II armor sure makes me want to see War Machine.

A bold new ONGOING TITLE for the biggest hero of 2008!
IRON MAN! You know you love him! And as the summer’s most anticipated movie boot-jets its way into theaters, here’s the perfect jumping-on point for new readers and Iron Man fans alike! Tony Stark – Iron Man, billionaire industrialist and director of S.H.I.E.L.D. – faces the most overwhelming challenge of his life. Ezekiel Stane, the son of Tony’s late business rival and archenemy Obadiah, has set his sights, his genius and his considerable fortune on the task of destroying Tony Stark and Iron Man. What’s worse, he’s got Iron Man tech, and he’s every bit Iron Man’s equal and opposite…except younger, faster, smarter…and immeasurably evil. Rising star writer Matt Fraction (IMMORTAL IRON FIST) and superstar artist Salvador Larroca (UNCANNY X-MEN) join forces to repulsor-ray your comic books to a cinder!
