Description

The War Machine armor is back, but it's definitely not James Rhodes inside there!

Sunset Bain, an expert in advanced technology from Tony Stark's past, sends a new War Machine after Iron Man, and Tony is so damaged within the armor that it takes the help of Warbird (aka Ms Marvel aka Captain Marvel) to drive off this new threat.

It takes a Warbird to defeat a War Machine!

Pure '90s Iron Man goodness, penciled by the talented Patrick Zircher with gorgeous inks by the masterful Larry Mahlstedt.

Zircher had a great run on Iron Man and this is one of the best images out of it!  Th energy he achieves with the tight and sharp detailed art is brings thrills and excitement!  The motion of War Machine about to ruin Iron Man brings pulse pounding stress and tension!  Wardbird's leg in parallel with Iron Man's body hoisted in the air makes you take a second look at the composition.

Busiek's run on Iron Man remains my favorite period in the character's history, and the artwork was of course a big factor.  This is a phenomenal example from an exceptional run.

I just love the pose.  It reminds me of another...agh...it'll come to me.  But in any case a perfect shot for a title page!  And those block black inks on the armor?  Awesome.  Always like when they do that :)  Congrats!
