The character of Whiplash in the Marvel universe has been so convoluted and confusing over the past forty years since his introduction in 1968, that Marvel has decided to launch a new four issue limited series entitled Iron Man vs. Whiplash.This time, Whiplash will have the same alternate name as his motion picture counterpart, Ivan Vanko played by Mickey Rourke, a name created solely for the film and not found in any past Marvel comics.
Due out December 3, Iron Man fans will get a sneak peek inside this new Whiplash character and a look at his armor. Marvel describes the plot line,
As Tony Stark heads back to the big screen for "Iron Man 2," he brings with him a host of new problems and big enemies. One particularly painful thorn in his side will bethe armor-clad, energy whip-wielding villain known as Whiplash. To get you up to speed on all things Whiplash, Marvel's kicking off a four-issue IRON MAN VS. WHIPLASH limited series beginning in November.
"Before he flays the metal off of Tony Stark's hide in 'Iron Man 2,' this is every True Believer's chance to crawl inside the twisted head of the wicked Whiplash," boasts Editor Bill Rosemann. "If it's jet-setting, globe-trotting, eye-popping action you crave, IRON MAN VS. WHIPLASH will make you believe that Tony Stark is indeed a cool exec with a heart of steel...and Whiplash is the fiend that will break it!"
Yes, the first issue was supposed to be out in November, but it's now being released December 3rd with issue #2 coming out December 23rd and the third and fourth following in the first quarter of 2010.
The four issue series is written by Marc Guggenheim and Brannon Bragga.
