Victor Von Doom has had a bit of a hard time selling people on the fact that he's a hero now, and that is certainly the case with Ben Grimm.

The lovable hero known as The Thing is not going for this new life of legitimacy, and he's taken his problem directly to Doom. It seems the time for words has passed, and the only way to solve this standoff is to throw down.

Infamous Iron Man #3 is written by Brian Michael Bendis with art by Alex Maleev.

You can read the exclusive preview in the gallery, and the official description of the issue can be found below. It hits comic stores on December 28.

It’s time for the greatest villain in the Marvel Universe to try something…new. Where Tony Stark failed, Victor Von Doom will succeed!

The question remains – has the one-time Doctor Doom truly turned over a new leaf, or is this just the next step in his master plan?

Some people from Tony Stark’s past have a VERY big problem with Victor Von Doom taking the mantle of Iron Man. One of those people is Pepper Potts, a.k.a. Rescue! She is back and she is pissed! Where has she been?
