The primary purpose of this story was to establish Iron Man's modern image, which was a task that I feel was accomplished well. Warren Ellis and Adi Granov make a spectacular team, with Ellis writing a deep and intricate story and Adi Granov providing dark and gritty artwork. The basic plot is that a domestic terrorist named Mallen steals a sample of a techno-organic virus called Extremis, which empowers him with superhuman abilities. And of course, it's up to Iron Man to stop him. It may sound simple, but Warren Ellis uses this as an opportunity to greatly elaborate on Tony Stark as a character. If you're looking for a deep and/or philosophical Iron Man story, then this is the comic you want to read. Throughout the story, Ellis paints a clear image of who Tony Stark is, and what he stands for. By the end, you're left with a deeper understanding of Tony's ideology, and why it is he does what he does. In addition to handling the character development amazingly, Warren Ellis also introduces the interesting concept of blending biology with technology. And it's this concept that provides the crucial foundation of many subsequent Iron Man stories. The artwork is also a major highlight of Extremis. Adi Granov provides incredibly detailed and realistic artwork. And his choice of colors brings an entirely different atmosphere to the story of a familiar character. The dark tone of Granov's artwork blends perfectly with Ellis' dramatic writing style. And words cannot express how epic he makes the action scenes. Even when there's no guiding dialogue, Granov is effectively able to tell a story from panel to panel. Like I said, his art style makes the action awesome, and certainly satisfactory for any Iron Man fan. As I stated earlier, Extremis is easily one of the best Iron Man stories, and without a doubt my personal favorite. Warren Ellis and Adi Granov work extremely well together, and display great synergy with their writing and art. Together, they create a unique atmosphere for a story that delves deeply into Stark's ideals and morality. Overall, the deep and dramatic writing, gritty artwork, and intense action make this a memorable story, regardless of what you expected to read. Personally, this is my favorite comic book story of my favorite Marvel character: Iron Man... Review: 21st Century Iron Man - Great story, terrific art ... Warren Ellis weaves a tale that explores global politics and future science while examining Tony Stark/Iron Man. As the story builds up to massive superhero action, it shows how Iron Man is evolving -- or trying to evolve -- both physically and spiritually. The intriguing plot is matched by wonderful characterization. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0785183787 | | Best Sellers Rank | #987,721 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,363 in Marvel Comics & Graphic Novels (Books) #13,090 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (194) | | Dimensions | 6.75 x 0.5 x 10.25 inches | | Grade level | 10 - 12 | | ISBN-10 | 9780785183785 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0785183785 | | Item Weight | 9.9 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 160 pages | | Publication date | January 1, 2013 | | Publisher | Marvel Enterprises | ## Images ![Extremis - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61yyVqsGyCL.jpg) ![Extremis - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819fYS8PZcL.jpg) ![Extremis - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31cMseNZ37L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My Personal Favorite "Iron Man" Story *by R***O on April 16, 2013* In my opinion, Extremis is easily one of the best Iron Man stories of all time.

Warren Ellis weaves a tale that explores global politics and future science while examining Tony Stark/Iron Man. As the story builds up to massive superhero action, it shows how Iron Man is evolving -- or trying to evolve -- both physically and spiritually. The intriguing plot is matched by wonderful characterization. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ the extremis project *by T***E on April 12, 2013* Warren Ellis brings us into the world of Iron Man in his first volume titled extremis. This book contains the back story of how tony became iron man and how he will overcome a new threat. This being a man who injects himself with some sort of syrum that turns him into an unstoppable force of nature! Tony could assembled the avengers, but he wants to prove that he can overcome this alone. Tony Stark wants to be more than a weapons dealer, knowing he has the technology to do it, although his body is nothing without his armor. The story is different, and Granovs art is very good! I give extremis 4.2/5 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/9562863-extremis](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/9562863-extremis) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
