You’re going to have to expect a few of these…

Over at his blog, CB Cebulski, who is writing the framing sequences for the Avengers Special, makes mention of the comic containing “fun stories by some truly talented up-and-coming comic creators“.  Even if he doesn’t mean my story in particular, I’m going to bask in the momentary glow that being up and coming provides.

Look at me, ma! Up-and-coming!

Sometimes even I wonder if it’s real…

…and then I look, and that’s my name up there at marvel.com.

So, yeah – I’ve got a Marvel comic coming out, which is terribly exciting, as you can imagine.  For those of you who are wondering which part of the solicitation refers to my story, well, that’d be “Jarvis the butler cleans house…after some robot Vikings drop by unexpectedly.“  You’ll be wanting to rush to your local comic purveyor to order this one, because when December rolls around there’ll be nowhere else providing the same thrills – imagine, if you can, a grown man dusting!

It’s an historic moment, true believer!

From Newsarama today… interesting names there…
