1872 #3

Marvel's Secret Wars tie-in 1872 reaches its third issue with a cover by Leonard Kirk that crackles with frontier-meets-steampunk energy. Center stage is a hulking, brass-masked mechanical suit bristling with steam pipes, arc-light, and bolted armor — a Wild West reimagining of Iron Man technology — surging forward amid an explosive orange fireball and jagged debris. In the foreground, a man in a wide-brimmed hat clutches a revolver while another figure recoils in open-mouthed alarm, caught between the chaos behind them and whatever threat looms ahead. Gerry Duggan's writing and Nik Virella's interior art promise the same bold collision of 1872 frontier grit and Marvel mythology that makes this series such a compelling corner of Battleworld.
