Iron Man 2 is a hit — but not as big as people had predicted

The Secret History of the Giant Man is heading to the screen

Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black is adapting Matt Kindt’s somber, moving graphic novel 3 Story — about a man who can’t stop growing, told by the three women in his life — for Warner Bros. It’s a slightly odd move for Warner to scoop up a Dark Horse comic, and one with such an indie…
