Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes #3

Iron Man surges skyward above a gleaming cityscape on Scott Kolins's kinetic cover for this third chapter of the eight-part Marvel limited series from 2005 — fists raised, arc reactor glowing, the armored Avenger radiating purpose against a crisp blue sky. The bold red geometric framing and Kolins's energetic linework give the image a real sense of velocity, as though Tony Stark is already three steps ahead of whatever's coming next. Writer Joe Casey and colorist Wil Quintana round out a creative team clearly having fun celebrating Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
