Iron Man: Extremis (Marvel Premier Collection)

Warren Ellis

Springing from the fertile ground of the U.K. comics scene, Warren Ellis came to Marvel during the early ‘90s and proved his iconoclastic mettle in the ultra-edgy series Hellstorm and the limited series Druid. He followed this with fondly remembered extended runs on Excalibur and Doom 2099. After making a name for himself as a premier talent with Wildstorm’s Stormwatch, Transmetropolitan, The Authority, and Planetary, Ellis returned to Marvel to pen Ultimate Fantastic Four, the Ultimate Galactus Trilogy, Iron Man, and more. His Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. was both a critical smash and a cult favorite. In addition to reviving the 1980s New Universe in newuniversal and writing Thunderbolts, Ellis took over Astonishing X-Men following Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s departure, and penned perhaps the definitive story of the Armored Avenger in Iron Man’s “Extremis.” In addition, he offered a distinctively memorable new take on Moon Knight. His Wildstorm miniseries Red was adapted into a hit movie in 2010. Ellis broke into prose fiction with Crooked Little Vein and his New York Times best-selling novel Gun Machine.

Kieron Gillen

An award-winning critic and journalist, Kieron Gillen turned his attention to comics on titles including the critically lauded Phonogram with frequent creative partner Jamie McKelvie, as well as Thor, S.W.O.R.D., and Generation Hope. Gillen relaunched two longstanding Marvel series in Uncanny X-Men and Journey into Mystery before again teaming with McKelvie for an acclaimed take on Young Avengers. Gillen wrote Iron Man for Marvel NOW! and explored the galaxy far, far away in the pages of Darth Vader, Doctor Aphra, and Star Wars. Gillen returned to Marvel with thoughtful runs on Immortal X-Men and Eternals.

Adi Granov

Hailing from Bosnia, artist Adi Granov established his reputation among American comic-book fans with Necrowar for Dreamwave Productions. For Marvel, he has earned both critical and fan acclaim for his covers for such series as Iron Man, Amazing Spider-Man, and X-Men: Second Coming. Granov’s work on Iron Man with writer Warren Ellis redefined the character to such an extent that it garnered the attention of Iron Man movie producers. He was called to serve as a consultant on both Iron Man films and helped bring the armored hero’s distinctive look to the big screen.

Greg Land

Artist Greg Land first gained notice for his work on DC’s Batman-family titles Nightwing and Birds of Prey. Moving to Marvel after illustrating CrossGen’s Sojourn, he drew Phoenix: Endsong. Next up was a run on Ultimate Fantastic Four that included the first rendering of the Marvel Zombies. Subsequently, Land penciled the blockbuster limited series Ultimate Power before becoming a regular artist on Uncanny X-Men. He later drew a trilogy of Symbiote Spider-Man limited series with writer Peter David.
