Here’s a short video of it popping onto his head.

Yeah, it’s basically Iron-Man nanoarmor, but this Lost in Space movie came out in 1998, and the full gunmetal rugged aesthetic is still pretty top tier.

What are other unique, cool scifi armors?

That's an interesting connection, because I'm not sure I see much similarity in the art, but there's definitely thematic and color similarity.

To me, Saga and Fiona Staples take the absurd and gives it a cartoony realism, but Dragotta exaggerates features to the point that it's almost surreal (almost like crossing Dalí and Mignola)

But both series have that Star Wars/Firefly "lived-in" universe feel that makes it obvious that there's a lot of history behind the scenes, and they both have the "space western" vibe, too. Maybe that's the Image style: fleshed-out world building that leaves a lot to the imagination (in a good way)
