Iron Man #10

Part four of the six-part "Execute Program" arc finds Iron Man locked in a fierce physical struggle with a blonde, yellow-costumed opponent — both figures tangled together against a backdrop of twisted industrial wreckage in a cover rendered with sleek, painterly precision by Adi Granov. The tension radiating from the image promises high stakes as the story's midpoint arrives, with the armored Avenger clearly in for a serious fight. With Daniel and Charles Knauf scripting and Patrick Zircher on interior art, this 2006 chapter of The Invincible Iron Man delivers the kind of kinetic confrontation that keeps readers hungry for the next installment.
