Iron Man #38

The cover of The Invincible Iron Man #38 makes a strong visual statement: Tony Stark's red-and-gold armor stands arms-wide at the center of the image, arc reactor blazing, while crackling white lightning radiates outward against a swirling green energy field dominated by a massive, ghostly face looming behind him. It's an arresting composition by cover artist Kaare Andrews that captures Iron Man at the heart of something far larger and more ominous than himself. "Remote Control Part 2" promises a story with real stakes, backed by a creative team including writer Frank Tieri and artist Alitha Martinez — a solid 2001 Marvel package for fans of high-voltage armored action.
