I can finally share some fun news I’ve been sitting on for a while:
(For those unfamiliar with the WILD CARDS books–these are shared world anthologies set in the WILD CARDS world, where an alien supervirus has killed a great deal of people and turned a small percentage of the exposed into monstrous freaks called Jokers, or turned them into superpowered humans called Aces.)
This is really fun stuff, especially because it’s slightly out of my usual ballpark, but in an area that I really enjoy: superheroes and supervillains. I don’t have specifics on the upcoming volumes yet because all of that is still getting hammered out right now, but I’ll be on the team, along with other WILD CARDS newbies Diana Rowland, Max Gladstone, and Saladin Ahmed.
In other excellent news, the first volume of the Frontlines: REQUIEM graphic novel series is now up in the Previewsworld catalog of new comics. It will be released in May, and the follow-ups will be released in a one-month cycle thereafter. Frontlines: REQUIEM will be released by Jet City Comics and features a new character, Colonel Soraya Yamin. The series takes place concurrent with some of the events in ANGLES OF ATTACK. It features a script by Ivan Brandon, artwork by Gary Erskine, and colors by Yel Zamor, all of whom are fantastically talented and a delight to work with.
Off topic (slightly), but I wanted you to know I just pre-ordered The New Book from Amazon. My feeling from where we left off in the last book was that this one could go in any one of a number of different directions. Can’t wait to see to which one you chose to take it.
