Iron Man 2: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (2010) is a three issue series, with each issue focusing on a different S.H.I.E.L.D agent. The three agents are Nick Fury, Phil Coulson, and Natasha Romanoff.

Iron Man 3:In January 2013, Marvel Comics released a two-issue comic book prelude by writers Christos Gage and Will Corona Pilgrim with art by Steve Kurth and Drew Geraci. The story set between Iron Man 2 and Iron Man 3, centers on War Machine and what he was up to during the events of The Avengers and why he was not present during the battle in New York. Comic Book Resources gave the first issue two-out-of-five stars, saying the writing is front-loaded with exposition and overly terse at the end, and the art, while not awful, flounders compared to other superhero comics.
