Ultimate Iron Man II #2

The second chapter of this four-part Ultimate Universe saga pits Iron Man's sleek red-and-gold armor against a formidable dark armored opponent in a mid-air collision that crackles with explosive energy bursts across a vivid green background. Pasqual Ferry's cover captures the raw kinetic tension between the two combatants beautifully, with both figures locked in a fierce exchange that suggests neither side has the upper hand. With Orson Scott Card scripting and Dean White's sharp coloring keeping everything visually dynamic, this 2008 miniseries continues to offer a fresh perspective on Tony Stark's world.
