Age Of Ultron #8 Adi Granov Variant

Marvel has released the Adi Granov variant cover for Age of Ultron #8. It shows Ultron with an even further adapted body with some sort of intense energy spewing out of the machinery. Granov might best be known in recent memory from the well received Iron Man: Extremis storyline written by Warren Ellis. The popular Iron Man tale has even been loosely adapted into the upcoming Iron Man 3 film. 

Fans enjoyed Granov's extremely clean work, almost computer generated to an extent which resembled a lot of video game cut screens and high end amateur made cgi. It will be interesting to see how they continue to evolve Ultron through each of these covers as events that happened in Issue 7 leading into #8 could end up with major questions.

Variants often seem like a way to get the value of a comic to become more than the $3.99 price tag as some even boast anywhere from $60 to $100 just for a different cover. These evolving Ultron images by Adi Granov have been too awesome to pass up for me though and staying around $6 to $9 each doesn't really deflate your wallet much.

You can view Ultron's subtle beginnings as he grows into the ultra-machine from Granov's variants #1-7 below, excluding #6 which can be seen here.
