Hey, some holy crap news.
So, like, I’m maybe kinda sorta writing a comic for Marvel.
Hyperion. Coming soon. Art in the book the astonishing Nik Virella. That sexy bad-asscover art above is by Emanuela Lupacchino.
The announcement is here at CBR, along with some other new Marvel titles (holy crap Becky Cloonan on Punisher is a coup and a delight).
And you can check out an interview with me at Newsarama to learn more about the book.
Needless to say, I am geeked to the max (that’s right, I’m bringing “to the max” back into the parlance, folks) to be a part of this — Marvel is doing some really amazing stuff right now and it’s a pleasure to be allowed to play in their sandbox. I’m excited by the collaboration here and — well, more soon! *flies away, cape fluttering, gets sucked into jet engine, dies*

Awesome!
Hyperion was an interesting character I felt Hickman wasn’t able to give enough time to before the 616 went kablooey. I look forward to seeing what you do with him.

Congrats(!), and please let me hijack for a second and thank you for all of your “You do you” pep talks. Without boring you, I have had to harken back to that *a lot* in the past couple of days. Me accepting me doing me has gotten me through. Thanks again and whoo-hoo on the Marvel gig!

From the headline, I thought it was Hyperion by Dan Simmons. I almost had a heart attack.
So, even though I’m slightly disappointed – congrats, Chuck. You’re tearing shit up right now.

Congrats! Are you going to explore Hyperion’s immortality? For example, show how time has changed him a 1000 or 20000 years from now?

Nick Nafpliotis (@NickNafster79) says:
Absolutely no interest in Hyperion…but I am very interested in all things Wendig. *Sigh* Guess I’ll be adding this to the pull list…
