Marvel Comics announced Whilce Portacio is providing variant cover for upcoming issues of Iron Man.
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.
“Whilce Portacio is one of the most unique and visually dynamic artists in the history of comics,” series writer Spencer Ackerman said in a press release from Marvel Comics. “Even before we learned we’d be blessed with Whilce’s variant covers, Julius and I talked about how we could incorporate the tangle of cables that Whilce used to show how powerful the Heroes Reborn-era Iron Man suit was. You’ll see Julius directly homage Whilce’s legendary design in our third issue.”
