The Return Of The Mandarin

Head on over to Marvel.com to get a preview of the upcoming Invincible Iron Man #500, due next month from the House of Ideas.  One such idea which shall fall in the anniversary issue: the return of the big bad Mandarin.

"It's over 40 years in the future and The Mandarin rules the world,"teases INVINCIBLE IRON MAN Editor Alejandro Arbona of what to expect. "He's being kept alive by a repulsor implant in his chest and a living battery he calls 'pig:'Tony Stark.

Marvel is doing teases counting down to IIM #500 all week on their site.  I am always excited for The Mandarin, and I do want to see how this connects with the new, more scummy take on the character from the Annual.
