I’m gonna admit, I went a little nuts on buying up all the movie prequels ;P This one was really good though! We get to find out where in all the realms freaking WAR MACHINE (aka James “Rhodey” Rhodes) even was while New York was crumbling down around everyone’s ears (spoiler alert! He was out being a badass ;P) and we see the humble beginnings of the Iron Legion. All in all, it was a great read, I enjoyed the heck out of it!

So this had a basic run-down of IM2 and the first chapter of Extremis. The first was boring, the second I had read already (and love).
But it also had a thing explaining what War Machine was doing during the NY incident in the Avengers. And that was awesome. Rhodey is so fantastic, and I really loved what they did with him here.

Iron Man 3 Prelude, aka What Jim Rhodes Was Doing During The Avengers.
There is also a mostly pointless comics retelling of IM2; only "mostly" because it is nice to see Tony customizing War Machine for Rhodey and Rhodey's first flight, which are major plot holes in the movie. There is also a lot less Vanko and Hammer, but counterbalancing it is a lot less RDJ.
Also includes the first issue of Iron Man: Extremis, which I assume is massively confusing for people not already familiar with the comicsverse. Not that you can't read Extremis cold, but one chapter included in a book focused on the Cinematic Universe, without any prior indication that this is from a different continuity, is not the best way to go about it.
