Whilce Portacio returns to the Armored Avenger in Iron Man Variant Covers

Posted on by

In Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Spencer Ackerman and acclaimed artist Julius Ohta’s new run of Iron Man, Tony Stark must rebuild his armor after his entire inventory is mystically corrupted by Roxxon! Over the course of the series, Tony will get his hands dirty assembling a new suit, tinkering and upgrading it as the series progresses. For inspiration, Ackerman and Ohta looked to legendary artist While Portacio’s inventive work on the character in the ‘90s. To mark his impact, Portacio will also grace the series with variant covers on Iron Man #3-5.

Portacio’s first cover depicts the destruction of Tony’s iconic “Heroes Reborn” armor, which was designed by Portacio and used throughout his run. Then, Tony gets to work on his new “Improvised Armor” in the artist’s second cover before powering it up for the first time on the final piece in Portacio’s series. Colored by series colorist Alex Sinclair, the trio of covers spotlight the signature way Portacio brings the inner workings of Tony’s technology and craftsmanship to the page.
