Ultimate Armor Wars #2

The second chapter of Warren Ellis's four-part Ultimate Armor Wars miniseries arrives with a cover by Brandon Peterson that crackles with kinetic energy — Iron Man hovers above a massive explosion, both repulsor-equipped fists blazing, while a blue-skinned woman lunges forward in the foreground with her own glowing hand raised in what looks like open defiance. Peterson's linework gives the scene real propulsive tension, with the firestorm behind Iron Man painting the whole confrontation in shades of amber and heat.
