Andy Ihnatko to moderate the “Vision Machine” panel at the New York Comic-Con

By Greg Pak
I’m thrilled to report that beloved tech journalist Andy Ihnatko will moderate the “What is the Vision Machine?” panel October 10 at the New York Comic-Con, where I’ll be debuting my latest creator-owned work.
“Vision Machine” depicts a world in which a revolutionary piece of personal technology rewrites all the rules. Andy is one of the writers who’s most tuned into the real-world technology that’s changing everything even as we speak. It’s a huge honor to have him moderating the panel — can’t wait to hear what he has to say!
We’ll announce more panelists very soon.
In the meantime, check out what you’ll be taking home for FREE if you attend the panel.

Amadeus Cho wants to read your Marvel haiku

By Greg Pak
Yesterday, the fictional comic book character Amadeus Cho announced via Twitter that fans who write Marvel-themed haiku might have a chance to see their work published in the letter column of the “Chaos War” miniseries. Below are his tweets – read on and start writing your #mrvlhaiku today!

By Amadeus Cho
So the universe is under threat from @thechaosking, who wants to reduce everything to the darkness and chaos that existed before creation. Which I don’t like.
So I’ve been mocking @thechaosking, who has a pretty thin skin for a supremely powerful reality destroyer. He’s also a pretentious doof who speaks only in haiku. Which got me thinking. So I consulted with @gregpak, @fredvanlente and @cracksh0t
… who are putting together the “Chaos War” series that chronicles our upcoming battle for the ages with @thechaosking
… and they’re going to print the best haikus they get about the Marvel Universe. Let’s call this #mrvlhaiku . You wanna be considered?
Send your #mrvlhaiku mondomarvel@marvel.com . Be sure to write OKAY TO PRINT in the email. & you might see it in a “Chaos War” letter page!
And of course feel free to twitter your haiku with the mondomarvel@marvel.com hashtag – but you have to email to be considered for the letter page.
