Happy to be heading into 2013. Tim O’Shea asked me to talk about the future for Robot 6. Here’s an excerpt:
Comic-wise, what are you most excited about for 2013?
I’m excited about the increasing numbers of creators who are using Kickstarter to fund creator-owned work. I tip my hat to friends and colleagues like Gail Simone and Jamal Igle who are plunging into dream projects this way. I can’t wait to see the work that results as others seize the opportunity.
Word on the street is that “Doctor Strange Season One, written by yours truly with art by Emma Rios, has won the coveted “Most Wanted” nod at the House to Astonish’s first annual “Homies” comics awards ceremony.
Check out the podcast. (The “Doctor Strange Season One” talk starts around the 25 minute mark.)

Fans of Marvel’s Hercules please take note: an alternative universe version of the Lion of Olympus has joined the team of dimension-hopping adventurers in Greg Pak’s “X-Treme X-Men” series. And he’s in love with Howlett, an alternate-reality Wolverine! That’s the two heroes in the image above, reunited in issue #8, which just hit stores last week.
Big moments are coming up for Herc and Howlett in issues #9 and #10 as well, so ask your local retailer to hold “X-Treme X-Men” #8 and beyond for you.

Greg Pak’s reality hopping comic book “X-Treme X-Men” joins Marjorie Liu’s “Astonishing X-Men” and David Lapham’s “Age of Apocalypse” for a 2013 crossover story called “X-Termination.” Check out an excerpt of the Marvel.com interview:
Marvel.com: Greg, picking up things in X-TREME X-MEN #12, how do alternative Charles Xaviers figure into this story?
Greg Pak: Dazzler and her X-Treme team have been on an insane mission to kill 10 evil alterna-Xaviers before they bring ruin upon the multiverse.

Most importantly, we’re going to find out whether Dazzler’s finally going to cross that line and risk her own soul in order to fulfill her responsibilities as a leader.
