Review/plot:
This issue starts off with a picture of Iron Man fighting a bunch of his old foes, with a caption that says "If you think this title-illustration doesn't make sense, just wait'll you read the story!!".

Iron Man goes to Ireland to find Happy, who has moved in with his grandfather. Meanwhile, Count Nefaria, clearly high on something, has decided to start calling himself the Dream-Master. He's got a machine that lets him control dreams, and if they die in the dream they die in real life. He wants revenge on the Avengers and decides to start with Iron Man, sending shellhead's entire rogue gallery after him (including the Crimson Dynamo, leading to a nice sequence where Iron Man refers to the fact that the two had become allies and Count Nefaria grumbling that his research was faulty). Iron Man fights off the dreams, and while he is sleeping, Pepper picks up the phone and calls Happy. Happy agrees to come home.

So yeah, they were right, the story didn't make much sense.
