Well, I think it's fair to say that Tony Stark is in VERY capable hands with the creative team of Kieron Gillen and Greg Land. As you can see, they're delivering on the promise of plenty showing off the Avenger's technical capabilities as the third and fourth issues of the new Marvel NOW! Iron Man series will see the debut of a battle suit and redesigned stealth armour. Below you'll find concept art and the covers for the relevant issues, while Gillen also shares his thoughts on these designs. Which of these do you like the most?
"In the first and second issues, we go and see the modular nature of the suit. The ultra-high tech joust of the second issue is especially a showcase for the 'Ooh, I think I'll have that arm, with the fancy UV Laser' style of storytelling. But sometimes you can't just fiddle with the details. Sometimes you have to commit to a problem, and that's what the suits in issues three and four are showcasing."
"The stealth suit [is] shown here in tasteful black, though its chameleonic tendencies can move that in any direction he wants. It maxes out its light-bender, includes lots of holograms, lots of hacking and still keeps a little repulsor and strength if needed. Also, it looks great. [Issue #4] showcases the sort of suit which starts where War Machine leaves off. Frankly, if I was asked to re-launch Power Pack, I'd somehow manage to work a mini-gun in there, so it's no surprise that there's some manner of Gatling device attached to this genuinely brutal piece of machinery."
