The best order to read Iron Man comics
This would be the best order to start with the comics of the mythical Marvel character.
Start with the origins
Iron Man’s first appearance in comics was in the year 1963 at Tales of Suspense # 39. And although it may seem predictable and very bland, the best thing you can do with Iron Man is to start at the beginning. Although you will notice some differences with respect to its film adaptation, the truth is that this issue explains very well how Tony Stark, an individual from high society, ends up kidnapped by the terrorist Wong-chu, with shrapnel a few inches from his heart and eventually against the clock both to save his life and to free himself from captivity, creating the first Iron Man or Mark 1, crappy, but enough to destroy Wong-Chu’s plans, although this It meant the sacrifice of poor Ho Yinsen.
First solo appearance
Also in 1963 the first issue of Avengersby Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, but if you’re really interested in reading Iron Man, the second recommended reading is Iron Man # 1 (Archie Goodwin and Gene Colan), from 1968, which is the first time that we can enjoy the adventures of the tycoon without distractions. Here we already see him with a much more recognizable clothing. In this number faces several iron men replicated from their own corporation’s technology.
Demon in a Bottle
Once you start reading Iron Man comics, you can end up wherever you want, but Daemon in a Bottle is a series with a Stark’s very dark story arc, dealing with the subject of alcoholism. It begins when Stark accidentally kills a diplomat due to a carelessness in his armor. Public opinion does its thing, and Tony is defeated, and ends up turning to drink to isolate himself from the real world. This story is told in various issues, in Iron Man # 120 to # 128 and mainly David Michelinie and Bob Layton were after these numbers.
Extremis arc
In 2004, Iron Man experienced a reboot, where the character development is more similar to what we have seen in the cinema. Extremis arc is composed of six parts, starting by The Invincible Iron Man # 1 (2004).

In seven numbers It tells the story of 2006’s Civil War, created by Mark Millar and Steve Mcniven. They tell us about the confrontation between the supporters of the Superhumans Registration Law and those who are against, where Iron Man is found.
