Reverend Jax Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 ". . .acclaimed novelist Orson Scott Card would be writing a six-issue "Ultimate Iron Man" mini-series with pencils by Andy Kubert. In addition, it was noted the book would feature a cover enhancement like we used to see in the '90s, a foil cover by Bryan Hitch. Marvel told Time.com, "If you thought The Ultimates told you everything you needed to know about Ultimate Iron Man, think again." Card's best known as the author of "Ender's Game" in 1986 and the sequel "Speaker for the Dead" in 1987. A first for any novelist, both won the prestigious Hugo & Nebula awards each year. The "Ender's Saga," as it's come to be known, has spawned six novels total and "Ender's Game" has been set up with Director Wolfgang Peterson for a major motion picture with Warner Bros." Thought Chief might like this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
