There only doing this becouse of the movie yknow. I dnt think im gonna get this.
If you are talking to me I know it is for the movie. I am just not sure what continuity it is in. In the comics Anton Vanko was the first Crimson Dynamo and now is dead so it couldn't really be in this continuity. But in the movies Mickey Rourke's character is named Ivan Vanko, not Anton, so I am confused as to how this book would fit into the movie continuity. If anybody has any explanation please help me out.

I just care that it,s in SOME continuity, rather than some lame elseworlds story.
When it says in-continuity, in-continuity to what? The comics or the movies?
I think they mean the movies becouse in the movie Mickey Rourke plays the son of Anton Vanko so this book might be about Anton creating the armor. read this from wikipidia:
Mickey Rourke as Ivan Vanko / Whiplash:[10] This version of the character also includes elements of Crimson Dynamo from the comics. In the film, he will be the son of Russian scientist Anton Vanko, who, in the comics, is the original Crimson Dynamo and creator of said armor.[11] Downey offered Rourke the part during a roundtable discussion with David Ansen at the 2009 Golden Globes, and Rourke met with Favreau and Theroux to discuss his character's role. Rourke almost dropped out of the role due to Marvel's initial salary offer of $250,000, so the studio chose to increase the deal.[12] Rourke researched for the part by visiting Butyrka prison.[13] He suggested half of the character's dialogue be in Russian.
