The Rundown: Ben Kingsley gets Vibe-y in New “Iron Man 3” poster, Nathan Fox Shows us the “Dogs,” and more

Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email me at david@multiversitycomics.com.

– I’m going to be honest, this new Iron Man 3 character poster – starring Ben Kingsley’s Mandarin – is a little weird. He’s throwing the vibe out on us as an audience, and his stunner shades don’t do much of anything for me except for making me chuckle a little every time I see it. I think they’re taking this movie seriously. I think.

We’ll find out May 3.

– Nathan Fox is teasing a new graphic novel he’s creating with writer Sheila Keenan on Twitter, according to an article over at Robot 6, and the book looks good. Called “Dogs of War,” it focuses on the relationship between the K-9 troops of World War I, World War II and the Vietnam War and their human partners. Given that it is Nathan Fox (with Rico Renzi colors!), you can guess that a) we’ll be buying it and b) pitching the living crap out of it on Multiversity. Nathan Fox is a guy you should be buying stocks in, people. He’s a talented guy.

– Ever wonder what being an editor at Marvel is like? Steve Wacker shared just that on Twitter and…well, it sounds like hard work.

– Evidently, Matthew Vaughn is producing the new Fantastic Four reboot over at Fox, with Josh Trank (Chronicle) directing. The Beat has the full story, but Mark Millar broke it. Yay Mark Millar! You love knowing things!

– Finally, on a sad note, frequent DC artist Scott Clark (Deathstroke) passed away late Thursday at the age of 43. A talented guy, it’s sad to see him go so young, and we at Multiversity send our condolences out to his family.
