Ultimate Iron Man #1

Marvel's Ultimate Iron Man kicks off with a striking opener from writer Orson Scott Card and artist Andy Kubert, reimagining Tony Stark's world for the Ultimate Universe. The cover by Bryan Hitch dominates with an intense close-up of a bald, grimacing figure lunging forward with outstretched hands, rendered in brooding reds and browns that give the image a visceral, almost unsettling energy. It's a bold, provocative way to launch a series, signaling right from issue #1 that this take on Iron Man isn't going to pull any punches.
