man I dunno about you guys but I'm thinkin' Skrulls would be a decent antagonist and/or plot device for IM2, The Avengers, or tying the two together.
This.
The Chitauri storyline in the Ultimates works as a movie storyline because seriously, the damn thing was written that way. It also gives serious linkage into Captain America if they integrate that storyline into his origin movie.
They could just use The Ultimates as the damn script for The Avengers movie and be done with it. First, the recruiting. Then, Hulk Does Manhatten. Show SHIELD, Hawkeye and Widow kicking some Chitauri ass, and then the giant climactic fight at the end.
And they even have a worthy sequel with The Ultimates 2!
That'd be a reeeeally long movie. I'd rather they skipped out on hulk rampaging through manhatten (cuz we're going to see that in the hulk movie anyway) and just go straight to the Chitauri/Skrulls. They should still have banner be the trump card though. I imagine the dialogue would go something like this:
[Fury and Banner above the raging battlefield in a chopper]
Banner: My God! We're getting killed out there!
Fury: I know.
Banner: What are we going to do? We're out of options!

But they pretty much have that scene in the New hulk Movie trailer anyway...
I thought the interior was ok, but the cover was outstanding. I LOVE Joe Quesada's covers most of the time, and he really outdid himself with the Invincible Iron Man #1 cover.
Servo if you dont read Invincible Iron Man I will be very cross with you
i almost bought it today, but i already had the enter the mandarin trade and mighty avengers and secret invasion. maybe i'll pick it up next week after i get paid.
edit- i did flip through it pretty thoroughly, so i know how it ends.
something something blue skeletons oh no tony's numba one nightmare
The Hypervelocity TPB is totally worth it, not just for the ease of reading, but it comes with original pencil pages drawn by Adam Warren in the exact style of his 'Empowered' comic series (<3). So if you loved Empowered, and want to see how it would be if Tony Stark walked into it for some sweet empowered loving, then get the TPB.
I had a really hard time with Hypervelocity. It just didn't click with me I guess. Also I had a hard time following it at first. However the new IIM that came out yesterday was awesome. I didn't grab the shinny headed cover though. I got one of the other ones. Still absolutely awesome
Also I think Larroca was channeling Land a little there with that countess chick. Just look at her face in that single closeup panel (where she's holding her boobs)

Well, to be honest, "Absynthe" was terribly dull and rather uninspired. That was definitely the weakest part of Hypervelocity for me. But the overall story, mixing quite a fine blend of Iron Man and cyberpunk more than made up for it. Which reminds me that I need to look into Adamn Warren's other work. Dude knows his cyberpunk.

Livewires is pretty awesome, though it gets kinda muddy in the very end.
His Empowered OGN series has quite a bit of blatant fanservice T&A, but also some really fun characters, great action, decent jokes and one of the sweetest relationships I've read in comics.
Empowered is one of those books that I fully expected to be awful, but it somehow managed to be one of the most endearing, fun things I've read in the last year.
munch, really? because i just got livewires without realizing it was by the same guy that wrote hypervelocity, and i liked both of them a lot. if empowered is as good as those two, maybe i'll check it out.

PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
Just retell the non-Nell parts of The Diamond Age with Stark in a Hacksworth role, the Mandarin as Dr. X, and Seeds which grow dragons.
But, you know, vaguely. A lot of it would need adaptation, but so would practically every 60s-era comic book story.
But the Nell parts were the best part of that book.
Turing Machine Castle!

Shim I was actually referring to Invincible Iron Man #1 which also came out today and was way better than the Las Vegas mini
I just figured it was worth noting.
Yeah, but they wouldn't fit in an Iron Man vs. Mandarin movie without a really weird Pepper Potts subplot.
done and done

It was absolutely wonderful.
"Bad news sir."
"Define bad news."
"Looks like he just matador'd a missile moving at twice the speed of a rifle shot and is now riding it away."
Having re-read it after picking it up last week, I'm thinking I need to find some more Iron Man trades.
Mask, IF I pick up the Hypervelocity trade then I could send you the singles. I haven't decided just yet though.
That would be awesome. If you decide to get the trade, PM me and we can work out a deal.
do it. do it now!
Oh it was.
