Standing atop rubble beneath a billowing American flag, Iron Man holds the flag's staff in one gauntleted fist and Captain America's shield in the other — a striking image that says everything about where the Marvel Universe stands in the aftermath of Civil War. This 2007 one-shot, with Marc Silvestri handling both pencils and inks on that commanding cover, brings together writers Brian Michael Bendis and Warren Ellis to map out what comes next under the Initiative. It's a compelling snapshot of a hero — and a world — reshaped by conflict.
