Robert Downey Jr. is trading in his Iron Man suit for a set of pencils as Marvel's latest True Believers Blind Bag program kicks off with a bang – literally, in this case. The surprise move sees the actor-turned-artist collaborate on five-part miniseries 'Ultimate Endgame' which promises to be a thrilling conclusion to its relaunched Ultimate Universe.
Downey, along with fellow artist Kevin Feige, has been drawn into creating original artwork for fans to covet. Specifically, two of those artworks feature Downey Jr. drawing himself as both Iron Man and Doctor Doom – in signed and unsigned versions respectively. What makes this even more intriguing is that 'Ultimate Endgame' marks the culmination of Downey's story arc as Doom, paving the way for an epic showdown in March's 'Avengers: Doomsday'.
While fans can't get their hands on exact sales figures, insiders speculate that 'Ultimate Endgame' #1 might just become Marvel's top-selling comic series in years to come. The true extent of this success will remain to be seen but one thing is certain – Robert Downey Jr.'s involvement has undoubtedly propelled the project into a new realm of excitement.
Moreover, fate seems to have played its part as writer Deniz Camp, who penned 'Ultimate Endgame's fourth issue, once joked that his book was perfect for fans seeking to grasp Downey's on-screen take on Doctor Doom. The irony is palpable with Downey Jr. bringing the character to life through his art – it truly is a masterclass in crossover storytelling.
As Marvel continues to expand its blind bag program with upcoming titles like 'Daredevil', anticipation only seems to build for fans eager to get their hands on these exclusive artworks. With 'Ultimate Endgame' set to continue with issue two on February 4, and the promise of more surprises from Downey Jr. in store, one thing is certain – this will be a wild ride for comic book enthusiasts.
