Infamous Iron Man #2

Infamous Iron Man, Issue #2 introduces a new superhero to the Marvel universe, Victor Von Doom, the number-one enemy of the Fantastic Four, also known as Doctor Doom.  With Tony Stark dead or somehow out of the picture, Victor Von Doom has taken up the mantle of Iron Man, replete with cape, hood, and a Doctor-Doom-looking faceplate.  Hot on his trail is Ben Grimm, the former member of the Fantastic Four and current Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Bendis and Maleev are one of the best selling teams in comics today, and for good reason.  As far as the art goes, the highlight for me is Doctor Doom's version of the Iron Man armor, which you can see on the cover.  The Thing is always difficult to draw, and Maleev makes him look muscular and solid.  Finally, Matt Hollingsworth does the colors.  He has a noir style, reminiscent of another favorite colorist of mine, Elizabeth Breitweiser.  VC's Clayton Cowles does the lettering.
