You know Len Wein. Award-winning comic book person. Co-creator of Swamp Thing and Wolverine and various other X-Men. Editor of Watchmen. Writer, at one time or other, of all the major characters: Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Hulk, you name it. That Len Wein. A great guy.
On April 6, 2009, a fire destroyed most of the home he was sharing with his wife Chris and their son Michael. As Len tells us, Chris was out when it happened. The men were home and asleep. He awoke to find the world in flames around him and he managed to get himself out and to save Michael, as well. Sadly, their beloved dog Sheba perished that day.
So did Len’s collection of books and toys and games and artwork and those things we accumulate that help define and enrich our lives. You have stuff. He had stuff. Insurance will fix the house but many things, including his comics, were not covered. Some of us thought it would be grand if his friends and fans pitched in to help him recreate those shelves of the comic books he’s worked on.

“War Machine” writer Greg Pak drops a lot of hints about what’s coming up next for Jim Rhodes in an interview with Comic Book Resources. Here’s an excerpt:
“War Machine†#6 kicks off the series’ second arc, a story called “Homeland.†“It’s the highest stakes fight of Rhodey’s life, and the worst nightmare a patriotic soldier could find himself in,†Pak said. “We’re talking Rhodey versus the United States of America. Or, to coin a phrase, World War War Machine? Rhodey’s discovered that the greatest threat to the safety of millions has found safe haven right here at home. But before he hits his target, he’ll have to face Jason Strongbow, a.k.a. American Eagle. And, possibly even more terrifying, his own mother. That’s right, Mother Rhodes plays a huge role starting with issue #6, and she’s awesome.â€
