Crimson Dynamo #5

Issue five of Marvel's Epic Comics series brings a charged East-meets-West showdown to its cover, where the massive, battle-scarred Crimson Dynamo suit dominates the foreground — Russian flag in hand, lightning crackling at its feet — while a sleek Iron Man figure streaks in from above against a billowing American flag. The visual tension between the two armored titans, rendered with kinetic energy by cover artist Steve Ellis, captures the Cold War undertones that run through this 2004 series with real stylistic flair. Titled "My Dinner With Anton," this penultimate chapter promises something a little more intimate lurking beneath all that armor-clad spectacle.
