One other big thing happened at Gen Con. The Margaret Weis Productions team announced that their big license for their next roleplaying game is from Marvel Comics! MWP creative director Cam Banks asked me to join the team developing the base game, which puts me in the lineup next to folks like Will Hindmarch, Jeremy Keller, Amanda Valentine, Rob Donoghue, …

Last week, my first work published by Marvel Comics hit shelves. It’s not much, just an entry in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A—Z Update #5.
