Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. #30

Iron Man strides forward with commanding presence on this Adi Granov cover, the arc reactor glowing brilliantly at the center of his deep crimson and gold armor as he looms over what appears to be twisted wreckage at his feet. The subtitle Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. frames Tony Stark's dual role perfectly — part superhero, part global security chief — and the moody, painterly atmosphere suits that weighty responsibility. Stuart Moore continues "With Iron Hands Part Two" here in 2008, supported by a creative team including Roberto de la Torre, Carlo Pagulayan, and Steve Kurth, making this a solidly crafted chapter in Stark's S.H.I.E.L.D. era.
