Iron Man (vol. 4) is a comic book series published from January 2005 to January 2009 by Marvel Comics. It featured the superhero Iron Man for the first 32 issues and War Machine for the final three. It was the fourth series with this title to be published, following series that ran 1968–1996, 1996–1997, and 1998–2004. Over the course of its run, it was also published under different titles: The Invincible Iron Man (#1–12), and Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
