“IRON MAN: EXTREMIS is one of the pre-eminent Iron Man stories, thanks to the amazing work of Warren Ellis and Adi Granov,” said Marvel Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada. “Just as the IRON MAN: EXTREMIS comic book forever changed how we see Iron Man, the motion comic adaptation represents the next evolution of the medium.”
The worldwide leader in bringing super heroes to life, Marvel redefined the motion comic medium with its first two releases-SPIDER-WOMAN (from Brian Bendis & Alex Maleev) and ASTONISHING X-MEN (from Joss Whedon & John Cassaday). Staying true to their source material, Marvel Motion Comics utilize each story’s original art and scripts while adding seamless motion, dynamic voice acting, and stunning special effects to deliver a whole new way to experience some of the greatest storylines in Marvel Comics’ history.
“Having the chance to work on something created by Adi and Warren has been a dream come true,” said Ruwan Jayatilleke, Marvel Senior Vice President, Development & Planning, Print, Animation and Digital Media. “As the lead producer on this motion comic, I am thrilled with all the effort and energy that Magnetic Dreams, Edge Studio, Underground Music, and NYAV have thrown into this project-creating an incredibly compelling series of animated content! I don’t want to give away any of the surprises, but once you see Tony Stark suit up and Iron Man take flight, you’ll know just why I am so excited.”
Please note that IRON MAN: EXTREMIS is intended for mature audiences only.
