See War Machine's Upgraded Armor From Iron Man 2.0

James "Rhodey" Rhodes, aka War Machine, gets an armored upgrade in Iron Man 2.0. What will Tony Stark's pal face in the upcoming comic book series?

"This is an 'evolve or die' story," says Iron Man 2.0 writer Nick Spencer on Marvel.com. "This [series] is all about challenging the way Rhodey operates, the way he fights, even the way he looks at the world. As with any good Iron Man story, the armor embodies the journey of the person that wears it."

See some preliminary sketches of Rhodey's new gear, as well as Iron Man 2.0 cover art, in the gallery above. Issue No. 1 hits stores Feb. 9.
