Warren Ellis and Adi Granov re-defined Iron Man with their groundbreaking “Extremis” graphic novel.
Check out how it’s influenced the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
This all changed with Warren Ellis and Adi GranovsIron Man: Extremis(collectingIron Man: Volume 4,1-6).
Under Quesada, creators onIron Mancame and went.
Runs by Frank Tieri, John Jackson Miller and comics legend Mike Grell failed to boost sales.
It seemed no one could find the right voice or direction for Tony Stark.
Stark was determined to drag the world kicking and screaming into the future.
This modern take on Stark, unattached to decades of complex continuity, compelled a new breed of readers.
The main Tony Stark was hampered by years of aborted directions and horrific editorial decisions.
For example, who can forget teenage Tony Stark?
The damage was done.
Many readers jumped ship with teen Tony and never came back, causing Iron Man sales to plummet.
Iron Man was a forgotten and abused character, abandoned by fans because of questionable creative directions…untilExtremis.
What Ellis ended up creating became the template for the films Tony Stark.
Whats more,Extremisis where the visual look for the cinematic Iron Man was born.
It looks likeIron Man 3is drawing heavily on characters and plot elements fromExtremis.
Both Aldrich Killian and Maya Hansen will be in the film.
In the comic, a right-wing nutcase named Mallen underwent the Extremis process was the books main antagonist.
