about that iron man armor 2

and so "Stan Winston Studio is making a real, mechanical version of the armor." [via] for the big-screen live-action Iron Man movie - let us journey down the design-path of 'ol Shellhead's armor from comicbook days of old til the current, and wonder why they didn't just start with an earlier design and upgrade in the sequels! *heh*


which is basically a lift-with-design-mods, from the Marvel comicbook "Extremis" mni-series, written by Warren Ellis & designed/drawn by Adi Granov, innit? (IMHO, anyways) ... i wonder if Granov's gonna get credit for the design in the first place...? *hhhmmm*
