Ask Bob Greenberger
Corporal Hicks:
You know, I gotta admit I'm looking forward to TGA. Folk slated Hellboy 1 but I thought it was fantastic! I love del Toro.
felix:
Ah yes, I almost forgot that the Golden Army is coming out. I'am definitely going to check up on it. I've read the previous Hellboy novelization by Yvonne Navarro and I am looking forward to your first novelizations. Best of luck to you!
About Flesh and Blood, I liked the way you wrote about the Predator Clan. I grew up on Steve Perry's Yuatja version of Predators. And even though you called them Hish (hate the name), the Predator's characterization is very similar to Mr Perry's.
Is Dark Horse's official name for Predators now "The Hish"? I hope not.
Simbobs12345:
I am waiting for the library to send Flesh and Blood. What can I expect from it?

We're off in a corner, generating profits and good word of mouth but get no love. It's one reason we've banded together to form the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers to band together and drum up support. We even created our own awards, the Scribes, presented at the San Diego Convention in the summer.

funny that you say this.
i once asked Randy Stradley why, despite some SW comics being totally awesome, they NEVER EVER seem to be nominated for any awards anywhere.
he told me, much like you say: "Essentially, media tie-in novels tend to be looked down on by other book readers and reviewers. We're off in a corner, generating profits and good word of mouth but get no love. "
except obviously we were talking about comic books.
there are soooooooooooooooooo many tie-ins in comics!
i wonder if you guys over at International Association of Media Tie-In Writers include comic book writers and artists?
bobgreenberger:
The IAMTW has indeed discussed encompassing comic book creators since many of us do double-duty.
Nothing definite yet.
