The Invincible Iron Man #27

Part 7 of "Haunted" arrives with a cover that's all atmosphere — Iron Man's armor looms out of near-total darkness, rain streaking across the deep crimson and shadow as the suit's faceplate catches a dim, ominous glow. Gerald Parel's painted cover work gives the image a cinematic weight that suits Tony Stark's role as Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. perfectly. With Daniel and Charles Knauf's script and art by Carlo Pagulayan, this penultimate stretch of the arc promises the brooding tension that cover so effectively sets up.
