Iron Man: Legacy of Doom #2

The second issue of this 2008 Marvel limited series puts Iron Man squarely in the shadow of two formidable threats — a massive demonic face with blazing eyes and bared fangs dominates the cover, while a green-cloaked, armored figure (unmistakably Doctor Doom) looms in the foreground, and the Armored Avenger charges forward in his classic red-and-gold suit. Ron Lim's pencils and Bob Layton's inks deliver a cover that crackles with fiery menace, perfectly suited to a story teased by the chapter title "Knight of the Living Dad." With David Michelinie and Bob Layton — the celebrated Iron Man writing duo — back together alongside artist Ron Lim and colorist Chris Sotomayor, this four-part series has a creative team that clearly relishes the material.
