I noticed in the credits at the end of the recent Iron Man movie that Adi Granov got a mention relating to the armour design. I think that's brilliant and demonstrates that, whilst the armour above doesn't stray significantly from the traditional red and gold of many of Stark's metal suits, he adds little details that bring class. Granov's a terrific artist - his characters clean and real looking. Like his recent covers for Nova, he perhaps sells himself short a little by coming up with very similar portraits time after time. But when they look this good, that shouldn't really matter. What makes this one stand out? For me, it's the way Stark is shot from below, with the American flag against the USA emblem. It marks out not only the character's status and importance but seems to usurp even Captain America in the sense of loyalty to his country, oddly (and presumably unintentionally) pre-empting what was yet to come in Civil War and Stark's directorship of Shield.
