War Machine #8 Newsstand 1994

War Machine #8 (1994) features a pivotal confrontation between James Rhodes as War Machine and Tony Stark as Iron Man. Their escalating conflict over the War Machine armor culminates in a brutal battle, with Tony attempting to remotely disable Rhodey's suit. Unbeknownst to them, the Mandarin observes, plotting his revenge. This issue is notable for collectors as it marks the first shadowy appearance of the Mandarin's Avatars (Q'Wake, Deluge, Lich) and serves as a key chapter in the 'Friendly Fire' storyline, leading into the 'Hands of the Mandarin' crossover event.
