I was actually sort of excited to read the Iron Man: Fatal Frontier series, at least until I read an interview (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=47948)with the creators. Co-writer Al Ewing's take on Tony bothered me enough to stop my purchase.

Ewing: "I suppose the one thing I find most fascinating is that he's not really a good guy. Tony's kind of a failed human, and has a history of making catastrophically bad decisions. He's a horrifically self-destructive man who's made some terrible mistakes in his life and now has to live with them, and that's something I can relate to, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. But the thing about Tony Stark is that he's very close to being a villain. The moral lines he'd have to cross to become one--I'm not sure he'd even see them. If I'm honest, that's what I'm exploring -- what Tony's prepared to do in the name of his idea of the greater good."
