One thing you're sure to like about the new Invincible Iron Man series is how Tony Stark's armor changes. Linked via cybernetics to his brain, and aided via Artificial Intelligence in the (virtual) person of his girl Friday, Tony's new armor changes shape instinctively, reacting to the needs of the moment. For example, when presented with Madam Masque's ability to hurl massive bolts of energy, the armor reshapes itself to divert maximum shielding to ward off her attack.
On the other hand, when he takes on the Marvel Universe's premier villain, Doctor Doom, Tony Stark's armor switches over to Hulkbuster mode. This form may prove no more effective than it did against the Hulk in World War Hulk, but then, Doctor Doom is the Marvel Universe's premier villain.
I don't even know where to go in discussing Justin's coloring work here. Each of these panels leaps off the page for different reasons. Of course, some credit for the artwork must go to penciler David Marquez, and even more must go to writer Brian Michael Bendis, whose story concepts the artists have brought to life. Amid Justin's eye-grabbing, jaw-dropping color, one must stand in dumbfounded awe. But then, that's why Justin is the Marvel Universe's premier colorist.
