The 'Merchant of Death' concept probably means that Tony is involved in activities related to death in a commercial way. For example, he might be selling things that can cause death, such as weapons or poisons.
It's about a story that likely involves themes related to death and the role of a merchant in that context. Maybe it's a dark and complex narrative where the merchant has some sort of connection to death, perhaps dealing with items or events associated with mortality.
In Iron Man fanfiction, the 'Merchant of Death' could refer to Tony Stark's former identity. Before he became a hero, Stark was known for manufacturing weapons, which earned him this dark title. His company supplied arms to various parties, and this part of his past often plays a significant role in fanfiction, sometimes as a source of inner conflict for the character as he tries to atone for his past actions.
Another theme is self - discovery. Tony realizes that his identity as a weapons - maker isn't all he wants to be. He starts to explore other aspects of himself, like his ability to be a true hero and protector. In some fanfictions, he discovers new values and beliefs that change his perspective on life. For example, he might start to value human life more than profits from weapons sales. This self - discovery often goes hand in hand with his journey of redemption.
Since it's called 'The Merchant of Death Graphic Novel', the merchant of death is bound to be one of the main characters.

I'm not entirely sure as I haven't read it specifically. But generally, a graphic novel with such a title might be about a character named Pendragon who has some sort of connection to death, perhaps as a merchant in a very dark or dangerous world. It could involve themes of mortality, power, and the underworld.
