More interviews coming down the pike: The latest is Time magazine’s Techland blog, which interviewed me about the making of Mass Effect: Redemption, Dark Horse’s new comics series launching January 6. More to come!
There’s an in-depth process interview with artist Omar Francia about our new Mass Effect: Redemption series on Comic Book Resources this morning — showing how he took a lot of the concept artwork for Mass Effect 2 and put it to use in the comics series launching January 6.

We’ve had costumes and handmade action figures: Now, Zayne and Jarael from Knights of the Old Republic have moved into the realm of feline nomenclature. Comics creator Lin Workman and Nicki Howe, friends from Midsouthcon, messaged me this morning about the adoption of two kittens, Zayne and Jarael. Jarael’s the white one, obviously — and apparently she regularly kicks Zayne’s kitten kiester, so everything’s in character there. Thanks for the …
Folks, here’s a chance to catch up on back issues of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic you may have missed, or to put together a nice gift package for that fan in your life. Things from Another World is having a giant sale on much of the run of Knights of the Old Republic — for a dollar each! It appears to run until Dec. 12, while supplies …
Good news! Star Wars Celebration V has been announced for August 12-15 in Orlando Florida. The official site is here. And in what is even better news (for me, anyway), the conflict between those dates and those for Wizard World Chicago, which I usually try to attend, has already been resolved. Wizard is moving its show to the following weekend, citing Star Wars Celebration. I’ll definitely be attending Star Wars …
I really don’t know any more details than I’ve seen just now on Amazon — but it looks like the Mass Effect 2 Collector’s Edition comes with a limited-edition copy of Mass Effect: Redemption #1. That’s the first issue of the new series I scripted based on game designer Mac Walters‘ plot, with art by Omar Francia. There are XBox and PC versions, according to the site. I don’t have …
These actually came together over the course of many months, but I have a few thoughts online now about Knights of the Old Republic #47, the first chapter of “Demon.” Again, an eclectic stew of comic-book thoughts, touching on Rubik’s Cubes, Bugs Bunny, and Fish-Bowl Guy. As noted, thoughts about the larger revelation this issue will appear in “Notes To The Old Republic” in next month’s issue — as will, …
Which secret, you ask? Ummm… several? Numerous? It’s just the start — and it’s the start of “Demon,” the final storyline in the Knights of the Old Republic comics saga. Issue #47 goes on sale in fine comics shops most everywhere Wednesday. Exercise caution in approaching message boards where the spoilers will be abounding! I’ve also finally added the site page for the eighth trade paperback, “Destroyer” — now available …
OK, folks, I hit the road for a few days and things get busy. Here we go, as best as I can post from the road… The cover and solicitation to Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #50, the final issue of the series, is now online at the Dark Horse site — and a page has been established for it on my site here. Benjamin Carre has delivered …
“Where were you when the wall fell?” Well, twenty years ago I was heading with a bunch of folks from the student newspaper to the Investigative Reporters and Editors College Conference in Washington, D.C. — so around the time the wall was falling, I was actually driving around lost in our nation’s capital. (And for all the excitement around the world, it seemed dead as the proverbial doornail that night.) …
