Yes, indeedy, EMPOWERED won't ship until next week, but the third issue of IRON MAN: HYPERVELOCITY, the ongoing miniseries I wrote and laid out for Marvel, should be hitting the shelves today! Woo hoo!

IRON MAN numero 3 ALT rough by AdamWarren

In honor of that issue's debut, I've posted a bunch o' layout pages from an important scene in the book... which means it's time for a SPOILER ALERT!

If possible, read the actual, published issue first, then check out these layout pages, to see a few changes that took place...

One of the major differences between layouts and final comic involved the dialogue spoken by viral avatar "Absynthe," here... Originally, she continually addressed Tony Stark 2.0 in a highly degrading and oversexualized manner; needless to say, I had to tone down her dialogue a LOT for the printed page. Oops!

"What do you mean, I can't have her repeatedly refer to Tony Stark as being a 'slut'? That'd be an improvement over what most comics fans were calling him during CIVIL WAR...!" Oh, well.

Anyhoo, the published issue features pretty, pretty art by Brian Denham* with sweet colors by Guru eFX, and hits the stands today (March 7, '07). Check it out, if you can.

Side note: I'd like to make it clear to any artists I might work with that I do not, repeat NOT normally do layouts anywhere near this tight and restrictive... A "perfect storm" of complications arose to make this approach necessary (a highly technical book requiring new design work and very specific action; also, we didn't line up an artist until after this issue, IIRC). I'm hopeful to ne'er again have to do this sorta thing to another artist.   

Well, back to the word processor, for some IRON MAN #4 corrections... Have a good one, ever'body.

Thanks for posting these roughs Adam, gives us a little insight into your though process...

Your work has alot of energy and movement which works well with the Iron Man concept.

Did you design the armor in this series?
