Iron Man #12

The finale of "Execute Program" arrives in striking fashion with this 2006 Marvel issue, cover by Adi Granov depicting a sleek Iron Man suit standing before — or perhaps dwarfed by — an enormous, battle-worn Hulkbuster-style armor looming behind it, the contrast between the two suits immediately raising questions about power, control, and what it means to face something built from the same technology. Knauf and Knauf bring their six-part arc to a close with Patrick Zircher and Scott Hanna handling interior art, promising the same polished craftsmanship the series has delivered throughout. If you've been following Tony Stark's escalating troubles across this storyline, this concluding chapter is exactly where you want to be.
