If you’ve been paying attention to the Marvel Sneak Peeks we run here at Major Spoilers, you know I have been highlighting increases in price to tip you off.  I’ve been following the price trend for the last two years, and today Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada gave his response to fans who are worried about high prices in a bad economy.

“I don’t make those kinds of decisions. We want to hold the line as long as we possibly can, but the world keeps spinning and unfortunately prices are going up everywhere. Sometiems you’re able to hold longer, sometimes you’re not. Honestly, I don’t have the answer for you.”

$4.50 by Christmas anyone?

Major Spoilers reported yesterday about the launch of a brand new Iron Man series, that featured a variant cover by head honcho Joe Quesada. Today, Marvel has us that cover for you to cast your gaze upon.

While many readers may have a problem with Joe Q’s art work. I actually liked the covers he did for One More Day, and do dig on the Iron Man cover for Invincible Iron Man #1.

Using Sketchup, a freely available 3D program, Joe Quesada has built a 3D representation of Tony Stark’s Stark Tower, complete with Sentry’s Watchtower.

“I set about doing a bit of an experiment in order to demonstrate the possibilities and potential for myself of employing simple 3-D programs into the making of a comic book. As an artist I could certainly see the benefits, especially when it comes to time management and complex pages,” says Marvel Editor in Chief. “I felt that building a model of Stark Tower would prove interesting, primarily because the Sentry Watchtower on the very top hasn’t been fully realized in the round. Ever notice how we artists have only been drawing it from one angle?”
