Iron Man fights Whiplash, but this time it’s just like the movie!
Whiplash is the villain in the upcoming Iron Man sequel, but who the hell is he? Marvel answers this with a new mini in November.
From writers Brannon Braga (Star Trek: Enterprise, 24) and Marc Guggenheim (Amazing Spider-Man, Eli Stone) and artist Phil Briones (Sub-Mariner), the 4-issue mini-series will introduce an all new version of the classic villain, presumably based on the character Mickey Rourke is playing in the movie. Series editor Bill Roseman promises "jet-setting, globe-trotting, eye-popping action"
The solicitation text reads:
IRON MAN VS. WHIPLASH #1 (of 4)
WRITERS: Brannon Bragga & Marc Guggenheim
PENCILS: Phil Briones
COVER: Brandon Peterson
Before he strikes in "Iron Man 2," meet the all-new, all-different,
all-deadly Whiplash in this special in-continuity adventure! Who is
Anton Vanko and why does he blame Tony Stark for the murder of
thousands? For that matter, why does the United Nations? Brannon Bragga
(TV’s "24") and Marc Guggenheim (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) and artist Phil
Briones (SUB-MARINER: REVOLUTION) have the answers!
