Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas #2

The second chapter of this Marvel Knights miniseries finds Iron Man in a genuinely daunting situation: Adi Granov's painted cover places the armored Avenger mid-flight, jets blazing at his feet, while an enormous, red-eyed draconic creature looms over him with jaws agape and scales gleaming. Granov's painterly style gives the whole image a cinematic weight that suits writer Jon Favreau's Vegas-set story beautifully. If the first issue left you curious where things were headed, this cover makes a strong case for sticking around.
