Jon Favreau and Adi Granov may finish their Iron Man comic, says artist

The final two issues of Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas have sat in the Marvel vaults for nearly two decades.

Jon Favreau and Adi Granov may finish their Iron Man comic, says artist

In 2008, Marvel Comics published a four-issue Iron Man spinoff miniseries titled Viva Las Vegas, written by director Jon Favreau. However, due to delays in production, only two issues were released before interest waned. Despite fading memories, artist Adi Granov recently shared cryptic hopes on Facebook for the series to be completed or collected in the future.

Favreau and Granov first collaborated on the iconic Iron Man movie, with Granov designing keyframe artwork and illustrating the Extremis arc for Iron Man 3. Marvel executive editor Tom Brevoort recently admitted on a podcast that the unfinished project is a sore spot in his career, expressing hope for its eventual completion. While there may be internal interest at Marvel to bring Viva Las Vegas to a close, involving Favreau and Granov for the final chapters could prove challenging, as the duo is currently occupied with other projects.
