Invincible Iron Man #5

In Invincible Iron Man #5 (2016), Tony Stark teams up with the unlikely ally Doctor Doom—aided by a surprisingly involved Mary Jane—to confront Madame Masque, who’s being manipulated by a malevolent force. The issue balances high-stakes teamwork with a quiet moment of personal reckoning, as Tony makes amends to MJ for the damage to her nightclub and offers her a new role in his life. Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by David Marquez, with colors by Justin Ponsor and letters by Clayton Cowles, the cover by David Marquez captures the tension and unexpected alliance at the heart of the story.
