another great newsarama interview

Thanks to newsarama.com, I’ve had the chance to do another great interview.  Now you can hear from me and all the writers involved in Giant-Size Avengers Special #1 (to be released on 19 December) by going to http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=137189.  And if you want to hear from our editor, John Barber, he’s done a separate interview found at http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=135449.  From him you’ll learn more about the origins of the stories that will comprise the Avengers Special. 

After you’ve had a chance to read these, I think you’ll find how diverse the stories will be within the pages of the one-shot special.  It’ll well be worth the price of admission to hear several new and incredible voices within the Marvel universe.  Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when the book is released.

A Hero in Somone’s Life

This whole journey with Marvel Comics began after winning an auction from The Hero Initiative (then called ACTOR, A Commitment to Our Roots) to have lunch with Joe Quesada, Marvel Editor-in-Chief.  This was explained in depth in a newsarama.com interview I gave, and some on the forum questioned this choice to spend money in order to meet Joe Q. 

For those who questioned giving money to The Hero Initiative, they only need to check out this post (http://heroinitiative.blogspot.com/2007/11/giving-thanks-indeed.html) regarding the work Hero is doing.  I would say any money given to The Hero Initiative is money well spent.

I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving.
