Clearly, it’d take something pretty impressive to team Steven Spielberg, Fringe co-creators (and Star Trek and Transformers screenwriters) Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles showrunner Josh Friedman on a new project. And, apparently, Joe Hill’s IDW horror/fantasy comic Locke & Key is that …
You guys have had great success in free-to-play virtual worlds like Free Realms. What lessons did you apply to Clone Wars Adventures?
Free Realms gave us a serious head-start in terms of understanding what worked for our age group. Most of the lessons we learned had to do with basic interface, controls and other usability concerns. …
Encrypting your PC is one thing, but how do you keep it backed up? And how do you maintain easy access to the files if you work on several computers at different times?
One author I know has two simultaneous book projects going, both of them full of juicy material. He wouldn’t want his notes, drafts or recorded interviews to be cast …

When I hit Midtown Comics tomorrow I’m going to be picking up a lot of Issue Number One’s. Feels like more than usual. Here’s three of them right here. Three number one’s and a couple more books that I believe will be worth the time and effort (well, it’s not that much effort). Be sure to check back later in the week for Comic Book Club …
