Now about that dragon…Of the 902 name ideas submitted 10 were selected and put to a public vote. EMP presented Adalinda, scaly guardian of the gallery!
Built by Seattle Opera Scenic Studios, Adalinda’s head is approximately six-feet-long and her “bite” would be slightly bigger than that of a great white shark. Her claws have a grasp of 18 inches, her tail is about the length of an adult saltwater crocodile, and if she were to spread her wings they would stretch to more than 36 feet.

Robert Downey Jr. plays the Armored Avenger in Iron Man 3 next week while The Secret Origin of Tony Stark begins in the Iron Man comic book. In other Marvel films like Captain America: The First Avenger we saw Tony’s dad playing a role with the U.S. military.
Kieron Gillen and Dale Eaglesham explores the past of Howard and Maria Stark. Some fans may worry that the upcoming arc will change continuity. Marvel Editor in Chief Axel Alonso took on those concerns on Comic Book Resources.
“Let’s be clear about one thing: This story doesn’t totally change Tony Stark’s origin. It reveals a heretofore-unrevealed pocket in his origin that, shall we say, deeply illuminates who he is and his relationship with his mother and his father. It also introduces a major new character who’ll be very important to Tony’s future — I can’t emphasize enough how important. You will look at Tony very differently at the end of the story.
The Secret Origin of Tony Stark begins next week in Iron Man #9.
DC Comics is teasing the return of the Cyborg Superman with this stunning portrait by current Superman artist Kenneth Rocafort and the coy words of Editor Bob Harras:

Sorry to make your head explode on a Friday, but enjoy Kenneth Rocafort’s lovely sketch in the meantime. We’ll be in the conference room discussing … oh, never mind.”
Hank Henshaw was an astronaut damaged by radiation on a mission and downloaded into a cyborg body – all were projects and products of Lexcorp!
