The New Reader vs. Iron Man Extremis

Ok, the moment I got out of watching Iron Man 3, the first thing I said was "I have to read Iron Man Extremis."  I'd recognized the word, and I figured they would be very similar stories, maybe with a bit more expansion on some topics.  Boy was I wrong, it's a completely different story, most of the names are the same but in general, the premise is completely different.

This story was written by Warren Ellis, with art by Adi Granov. One of the first things I noticed on my copy was a quote at the very top from screenrant.com "...among the best Iron Man stories ever written."  Right away I was excited to start reading this.  Within the first four pages I knew this book wasn't going to be the same as the movie, mostly because Dr. Killian was already dead.  

Now, I don't want to get too into the differences, just in case anyone hasn't read this book or seen the movie.  I will say that I loved every bit of this book.  The art was intense, and the writing was classic Iron Man, everything Stark said had an intellectual, sarcastic humor to it.  So when it comes down to it, I would recommend everyone to read this book, whether you're a seasoned comic book fan, or someone who's only seen the movies.
