Uncanny Avengers Scarlet Witch by Granov

  It’s the week of the Witch..the Scarlet Witch! Wanda graces the cover of two variants for upcoming issues of Uncanny Avengers this October. Wanda will join Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, Rogue and Havok on a new team of Avengers and X-Men united against the threat of the Red Skull reborn.

  Marvel revealed this variant by Adi Granov (Iron Man Extremis.) I have this on the beautiful illustration on the cover of Granov’s sketchbook that I got at Emerald City Comicon earlier this year. Earlier this week Marvel shared this cover by Milo Manara.

 I’m loving the Scarlet Witch comeback but I suspect we’ll see some Rogue variants soon.

Iron Man 3 starring Ben Kingsley

  Ben Kingsley is in final talks to play the villain in Iron Man 3 but he will NOT be playing the Mandarin according to Variety. The story will be based loosely on Extremis the 6 part series by Warren and Adi Granov involving the spread of nanobots.

  Fans – me included – hoped Tony would face the Mandarin this time. Hints were placed in the first film. The terrorist holding Tony hostage worked for a group called the Ten Rings. The Mandarin is famed for his ten power rings.

Extremis features art by Adi Granov who did design work for Iron Man 1, 2 and The Avengers.

Iron Man 3 is blasts into theaters on May 3, 2013.

I was lucky to meet Adi Granov recently at Emerald City Comicon in Seattle and score one of his amazing sketchbooks.

Here’s the Amazon link to Extremis if you’d like to get an idea of Tony’s third film adventure.
