Iron Man #24

Part of the "Rings of the Mandarin" arc, this 2014 All-New Marvel NOW! issue features a striking cover by Michael Del Mundo that captures Tony Stark's armored silhouette — arc reactor glowing at its chest — as a fiery, almost molten force tears away from it in vivid golds and oranges, suggesting something elemental and dangerous pulling at the suit itself. Kieron Gillen and Luke Ross bring the story to life inside, with colors by Guru eFX lending their signature richness to the series. It's a visually arresting chapter that makes clear the Mandarin's influence is anything but finished.
