Iron: Or the War After

A single-issue, oversized debut from Boom! Studios, Iron: Or the War After (2019) is a self-contained graphic novel by writer Shane-Michael Vidaurri and artist Brett Parson. It presents a stark, alternate-history fable set in a post-World War II America where a mysterious, iron-clad figure emerges to challenge the nation's fractured soul. This ambitious, visually striking work matters as a compact, standalone statement on the lingering costs of conflict and the myth-making of heroes.
