The news leaked out on March 19th in a Chicago Sun-Times interview with Marvel executives Ira Rubenstein and Tom Brevoort about the publisher's digital-publishing initiatives.
During an exchange about motion comics, Rubenstein (executive vice president of the company's Global Digital Media Group) notes, "The new one for Iron Man Extreme is coming out." Brevoort, vice president-executive editor, adds: "I worked on the original comic that’s based on, so I’m really interested in seeing that." No release date was mentioned.
A Marvel spokesman had no comment.
Beginning in January 2005's Invincible Iron Man #1, "Extremis" was a six-issue arc that updated Tony Stark's origin, casting him as a weapons designer whose creations were being used against Al Qaeda in Afghanistan before the first Gulf War. The origin and armor designs in the Iron Man movie closely resembled those in "Extremis."
