Except just because DC does something, Marvel doesn't have to do the same.

And as I heard, the junior novelization of Iron Man 3 features some important changes, Ellen Brandt survives the battle in Tenesse; Savin gets out of the Air Force One alive; when Tony Stark enters the mansion in Florida he's caught before he could interrogate the Mandarin, who's just seen sleeping; both Savin and Brandt do in the final battle what Killian in the movie; Savin dies the way Killian was exploded the first time (MK 42 self-destruct), and Brandt the way Killian gets the final blow (bada$$ Pepper); and finally: both Killian and Mandarin escape alive. The twist is apparently never revealed or just doesn't exist.
