The story, which lasts about three to four days in comic book time, takes place at an undefined time after the founding of the New Avengers and before the Stamford catastrophe (which led to the Marvel Civil War). To me, the Iron Man armor is more akin to a jet fighter than it is to an outfit. I saw Iron Man as not just a superhero in a suit rather he is a pilot or weapon. When illustrating the book I wanted my art to mirror the realism in Warren's writing I felt that Warren wrote a story that's a sort of techno-thriller action story and I wanted the art to reflect this.
