Nov 3: Orson Scott Card chat at Washington Post
Nov 3 at 1 pm, Orson Scott Card will chat at the Washington Post website, but you can submit questions now. Card wrote Iron Man, among other titles.
Marvel recently (Oct 28) put out a press release about Card's return to writing comics:
Marvel & Orson Scott Card Bring FORMIC WARS To Life!
New York Times best-selling author Orson Scott Card revolutionized science-fiction with Ender's Game and now returns to write the most requested sci-fi story in the world with Marvel Entertainment in February's Formic Wars #1 (of 7). Selling millions of copies worldwide, Ender's Game is one of the most popular science fiction epics of all time, with fans begging for Card to tell the origins of this universe! Now Orson Scott Card himself, teaming with co-writer Aaron Johnston and rising star artist Giancarlo Caracuzzo, returns to write the prequel in graphic fiction format. Long before Ender Wiggin fought the Third Formic War, humans battled the Formics on our own turf. Twice. Outgunned and unprepared, the human race stands on the brink of total annihilation.
"I've been so happy with Marvel's comic-book adaptation of Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Ender in Exile and Speaker of the Dead that I wanted my long-imagined story of the Formic Wars to appear first in this wonderfully visualized form," said Orson Scott Card, "With a whole new set of characters, putting together a ragtag fleet of improvised and adapted spacecraft to take on an alien invader, I think these are some of the best, most inspiring stories in the Ender's Game future history, and through the work of Marvel's great team of writers and artists, my tales are coming to life with a power and reality I never could have managed on my own."
This action-packed prequel to Ender's Game answers the questions fans have been asking while delivering a jaw-dropping story perfect for new readers.
"There are few writers as prolific and popular as Orson Scott Card," said David Gabriel, SVP Sales & Circulation, Marvel Entertainment. "We're extremely thrilled to bring Formic Wars to life for the first time in any medium and even more excited to have Orson Scott Card at the helm. If you're a fan of the Ender's books, or just a fan of classic sci-fi, you won't want to miss this series."
The most requested sci-fi action-thriller of the century is now here-you can't afford to miss Formic Wars #1, hitting comic shops in February 2011.
Plus, don't miss the graphic fiction adaptations of Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, now available in hardcover collections at comic shops and book stores nationwide!

Beeler tops Cartoons & Cocktails auction updated
Steve Artley went to Cartoons & Cocktails last night and tells us, "Nate Beeler stole the show with one of his toons auctioning for 2100 buckeroos. That is a record for the C&C event. Actually, yours truly held the record for a few years at $1750, but am happy to pass the baton to the next generation of political renderers."
Nate says the cartoon that sold is his September 1st one, pictured above. You can see all his cartoons at the Washington Examiner site, which even though I'm a friend of his and opposed to the Examiner's political stance, I must say are excellent.

Mark Fiore won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning this April, marking the first time the coveted award has been given for political cartoons that appear entirely online. With this new form of political cartoon, he is a pioneer in the contemporary display of political satire in the spirit of Mark Twain. Fiore will discuss the role of satire and the serious implications it has for today's politics.
According to the Pulitzer jury, Mark Fiore's "…biting wit, extensive research, and ability to distill complex issues set a high standard for an emerging form of commentary." Recognition of his significant leadership in this field has come from other awards as well: the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in the category of cartoons, an Online Journalism Award from the Online News Association and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, and two awards from the National Cartoonists Society for his work in new media.
