Infamous Iron Man #9

The painted atmosphere of Alex Maleev's cover for this 2017 Marvel series is quietly striking — a young woman in a partial Iron Man suit holds the helmet in her lap, her expression calm and composed, while a large hooded figure with glowing cyan eyes and energy-traced hands looms ominously behind her against a warm, hazy golden backdrop. The tension between her composed stillness and that towering, shadowy presence gives the image a genuinely unsettling weight. Bendis, Maleev, and Hollingsworth continue to bring a moody, painterly sensibility to this series that sets it apart from the typical superhero fare.
