“Ground Zero”

In "Ground Zero," Iron Man faces a crisis of conscience when Atom Smasher threatens to destroy a toxic waste dump, prompting the government to deploy Firepower against him.

Written by Len Kaminski and illustrated by Kevin Hopgood, with inks by Mike DeCarlo and colors by Mike Rockwitz, this 1993 issue explores the cost of power and loyalty, all under a cover by Kevin Hopgood.
