Last summer, I wrote Marvel’s Captain America: The Ultimate Guide to the First Avenger, along with fellow Marvel expert Dan Wallace. It covers all 75 years of the history of Cap, from his first appearance in Captain America Comics #1 to the present. Look for it to be released on April 5, a month before Captain America: Civil War hits theaters. Earlier this week, DK posted …

This Saturday, from 11 AM—2 PM, I’ll be signing books at Turtle Creek Books (AKA the Beloit College Bookstore), here in Beloit, Wisconsin. To sweeten the pot, DK has sent along posters of Marvel’s The Avengers Encyclopedia, featuring that gorgeous Mike McKone artwork from the book’s cover. They’re free to the first 50 or so people who show up to claim them. …

Marvel Avengers: Battle Against Ultron is slated to hit shelves today. This is a book for young readers I wrote for DK, the same people behind the bestselling Marvel Encyclopedia, and it features Marvel’s greatest superhero team and their history of conflict with one of their most tenacious and dangerous foes: the murderous robot Ultron. Battle Against Ultron comes in both softcover and hardcover formats. …

As it turns out, I have not one book coming out on Monday, but two. The first, of course, is my Halo novel, New Blood. The second is Marvel: The Avengers: Battle Against Ultron, which features this snazzy cover here. Battle Against Ultron is part of the DK Reads series of books, meant for young readers just getting started on their …

Believe it or not, The Marvel Encyclopedia hit the New York Times Best Sellers list this week! It squeaked in at the absolute bottom of the Games and Activities list, right there at #20. Not bad for a book that came out in March. This is my first ever time on the list with any of my books, though, and I’ll take it! …

Back in 2008, I revised the Marvel Encyclopedia for DK Publishing. That meant taking the original version of a book written by Tom DeFalco, Peter Sanderson, Tom Brevoort, Michael Teitelbaum, Daniel Wallace, and Andrew Darling–and revamping and updating most of the entries. I also wrote a slew of new material for the book and nearly melted a keyboard trying to get it …

I spent a good chunk of last year revising the Marvel Encyclopedia for DK Publishing. I handled the revisions for the 2009 edition, and I was honored to be asked back to take on the duties this time around as well. Plus, it gave me a great excuse to read a lot of fantastic comics. DK recently released the cover, and you …

I’m now cleared to report that I spent some time last year writing for the Marvel Heroes MMO! Many thanks to Andy Collins who assembled the team, which included Monte Cook,Mike Selinker, Will McDermott, Logan Bonner, Ari Marmell, Stan!, and Brian Michael Bendis, who – along with Andy – tackled the bulk of the work, including most of the stories in the game. I wrote much of …

My pals at Margaret Weis Productions have their new Marvel Heroic Roleplaying Game ready to hit stores on February 28 –coincidentally the same day my novel Carpathia comes out in the US – but DriveThruRPG is selling the PDF edition starting today. It’s already skyrocketed to the top of their Hottest Items chart. At only $12.99, I can see why. I worked …

Last summer, I joined up with an all-star team of game designers to pitch in on the upcoming Marvel Heroic Roleplaying game coming out from Margaret Weis Productions. That made me part of the game’s Illuminati, along with Cam Banks, Rob Donoghue, Will Hindmarch, Philippe-Antoine Ménard, and Jesse Scoble. Cam, who’s developing the game, has since run with it and drafted Jack Norris, …
