Are you someone who’s been collecting Avengers-related material all your life? Or any of the main founding Avengers, such as Iron Man, Thor, Cap, and the Hulk? Either Marvel-manufactured licensed objects or, even better, early sketches, production documents, story copy, and so on.

Then I can use your help. I am putting together an “Avengers Vault” with the folks who did the Spider-Man Vault book a few years ago, and we’re looking for stuff that we can photograph and put into the book. No money involved, but you’d get credited. If you’re interested in participating, please write to me at padguy@aol.com.

Thanks!

So I’ve been a full time writer for nearly three decades and never so much as been nominated for a Hugo. Yet a racist, homophobic áššhølë is up for a Hugo this year because apparently he understands how to game the social network system. Because the Hugos will accept people who despise gays but draw the line at “Star Trek” novels.

Fine. Screw it.

I have a new novel coming out in July called “Artful.” It’s the previously untold story of the Artful Dodger, hunter of vampyres and other creatures. I want it to be up for a Hugo. Hëll, even a Nebula. And apparently sitting quiet for thirty years allowing fans to find my work on their own isn’t getting it done. So I’m starting a year early. “Artful” for the Hugo.

We saw it last Friday and I agree with what a lot of people are saying: this might well be the best Marvel movie yet.

The news is officially out on Newsarama so I can tell you guys now: Yes, I will be writing the new Spider-Man 2099 comic. When word of this first circulated weeks ago, I really did NOT know I’d be on board. Marvel only contacted me two weeks ago about it.

The first issue ships in July. Be sure to be there.

At least that’s when I’m told it will be coming, just in time for Emerald City Con.

It’s a really cool announcement. I hope you’re all jazzed by it. I know I am.

Have you ever wanted to actually be in an episode of “South Park?”

Yeah, me neither.

But that’s exactly where I found myself in the thoroughly immersive and long awaited “Stick of Truth,” the video game whose release was actually the punchline of South Park’s three part Thanksgiving episode last year.

As an experiment in getting involved in new and exciting ways of making my books available, I am participating for three weeks as part of a story bundle. I have some VERY impressive co-authors in this endeavor, including Neil Gaiman and Kevin Anderson. For those unfamiliar with the bundling concept, you can get a whole bunch of top books for whatever amount of money you want to spend. Check it out, help support a group of authors and get a great buy. Check it out here:
