The penultimate issue in the “Odyssey” storyline. Out this week. Whad’ja think? (Not that it, y’know, matters much in the long run…)

Okay, so when I was doing the announcement of “Madrox” at the Detroit convention and talking about how–if the book had high sales–we’d continue it as a series, I also said we were going to do everything we could to try and snag people’s interest. That included the title (said I) as I took a piece of paper and wrote out a logo that looked like this:

MadroX

That is to say, we were going to make the “X” the biggest letterin the logo. “After all, we’re not stupid,” I said with a grin.

And somehow this has morphed into the silly notion that, within the interior of the book, his name is always going to be spelled as MadroX.

No! Fer cryin’ out loud, guys, no. I don’t even know 100% for sure that we’re doing it in the logo; I was half-kidding. I’d LIKE to do it that way, and I’d discussed it with the editor, but it’s not set in stone. And we’re CERTAINLY not going to have it appear that way within the body of the book. Just as the logo, if we do it at all.

Okay?

Sheesh, the stuff you have to clear up…
