Review/plot:
The citizens of the Marvel Universe must have been humoring Tony Start about his secret identity. Tony flies to Hong Kong as Tony, gets off the plan and flies through Hong Kong very publicly (with a little kid shouting "Mama, look! It's Raideen!")...

...and then changes back into Tony when he gets to Stark International's Hong Kong office.

While there, he encounters a demon that has been summoned by computer.

The exorcism, normally performed orally, therefore has to be programmed in to banish it.

The story is told well, with nice pencils and inks by Layton, so we'll try to look past the fact that the plot is a little cheesy.

What's wrong, Tony, do you think you're too good for Mickey D's?

It's Hong Kong, not Japan.

Thanks, EHH. It must have been the reference to Raideen that got me mixed up.
