Invincible Iron Man #11

Jesús Saiz's cover for this 2017 Marvel issue radiates warmth rather than conflict — Riri Williams stands center in her Iron Man armor, helmet tucked under the arm of a smiling redhead beside her, as a glowing blue holographic figure crouches in the foreground with an outstretched, welcoming gesture. Two more women share the joyful moment in the background, the whole group framed against tumbled brickwork and the curved hull of a massive vehicle. With Brian Michael Bendis writing and a full art team including Stefano Caselli and Marte Gracia, this issue promises the kind of character-driven storytelling that made this run stand out from the armored crowd.
