Iron Man #34

The cover of The Invincible Iron Man #34 sets a visceral, kinetic tone — Iron Man's battered armor is being savagely overwhelmed by a pale, monstrous creature with elongated limbs and tentacles, the two figures locked in a brutal mid-air plunge past the face of a skyscraper. A second figure crackles with blue electricity in the background, suggesting the odds are stacked heavily against our hero. Kaare Andrews delivers a genuinely unsettling cover composition that makes "Power Part Two: Villains" feel like exactly the kind of desperate, high-stakes clash the title promises.
