Today in the USA, tomorrow in the UK, is the day the first issue of my miniseries, Fantastic FourTrue Story, is out from Marvel Comics. I'm very proud of it, it's the story of how Marvel's first family heads into the universe of fiction to save humanity, and runs into, well, initially, characters from Jane Austen, with chaotic results. ('Reader, I clobbered him.')

So here's the first (very kind) review. I wouldn't normally link to reviews, but it also features the first seven pages of lovely Horacio Domingues artwork, including that page I teased you with before Christmas:

Here's an interview about the project, with a nice close up look on the first two covers by the very talented Nico Henrichon:

And here's an interview that covers both that and Captain Britain, with four pages of brilliant Leonard Kirk preview art from issue four of that title:

And lest you think this is all self-promotion, I'd like to extend my congratulations to my friend, and fellow SF novelist, Chris Roberson, who's got a great gig, writing a spinoff series (Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love), from my favourite comic at the moment, Fables. Go for it, Chris, I hope you enjoy working in comics as much as I do.

I'm aiming to blog at least once more before Worldcon. Until then, Cheerio.
