Superhero Novelizations for 2008
With the summer super-hero blockbusters come the inevitable novelizations. It used to be almost every movie from every genre would receive the prose treatment but with time, that has been winnowed dramatically. These days it appears just the genre films get the attention and not even all those receive a book.
The blockbuster, tent pole films for 2008 will be receiving not only novelizations but tie-in and spin-off books galore. One, Speed Racer, does not have a novelization but a ton of related books for the younger audiences.

Iron Man by Peter David
