Invincible Iron Man #514

Iron Man hovers against a dramatic, cloud-streaked sky facing an overwhelming swarm of mechanized, crab-clawed drones that arc menacingly overhead and close in from all sides — it's a striking visual that captures the odds stacked against Tony Stark in 2012. Salvador Larroca's cover linework renders both the sleek red-and-gold armor and the hulking mechanical attackers with real kinetic energy, with Frank D'Armata's warm twilight colors giving the whole confrontation an urgent, almost molten atmosphere. "Demon 5: Melt" promises that the Fraction–Larroca run on Invincible Iron Man is still delivering tense, visually ambitious storytelling well into its stride.
