Invincible Iron Man #18

Part eleven of "World's Most Wanted" arrives in this 2009 Dark Reign tie-in, and the cover by Salvador Larroca says everything about Tony Stark's precarious situation: a shirtless, unarmored Tony is suspended and ensnared within the mechanical grip of a half-assembled Iron Man suit, wires trailing as robotic arms close in around him. It's a quietly unsettling image — man and machine inseparably entangled — rendered with the crisp, detailed linework and rich coloring from Larroca and Frank D'Armata that defined this Eisner Award-winning run.
