War Machine #9
In War Machine #9, James Rhodes confronts Iron Patriot in a brutal showdown that forces Norman Osborn to face the full power of Ultimo—linked through his own mind. With Morgan Stark freed from the machine's control, Osborn makes a shocking choice: to claim Ultimo for himself, setting the stage for an escalating clash of wills. Written by Greg Pak and illustrated by Allan Jefferson, with inks by Nelson Pereira and colors by Jay David Ramos, the issue's cover by Francesco Mattina captures the intensity of the moment.
