Next Saturday is Free Comic Book Day, which means that if you wander into a comics shop on May 4, 2013, you might just walk out with a comic book written … by me!<\/p>\n

But how is that possible? I haven’t written any comics in decades. How could I possibly have anything in a comic handed out on Free Comic Book Day?<\/p>\n

Blame Thanos!<\/p>\n

Bill Hall of The Daily Kirby<\/a> let me know today (beating out Marvel Comics, who’s yet to alert me) that my back-up story from Logan’s Run<\/em> #6<\/a>, which starred Thanos and Drax the Destroyer, will be reprinted in Infinity<\/em><\/a>, Marvel’s giveaway for Free Comic Book Day. All because Thanos is now a big deal due to his appearance at the end of The Avengers<\/em> movie.<\/p>\n

\"InfinityMyThanosStory\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The freebie is described as follows:<\/p>\n

This May for Free Comic Book Day, prepare yourselves for the greatest battle for survival ever waged in the Marvel Universe as Marvel marches towards Infinity! In this all-new story by the blockbuster creative team of Jonathan Hickman and Jim Cheung, witness the opening shots of the war that will be heard around the galaxy. Plus, get a sneak peek behind a major Marvel release that hasn\u2019t been announced yet and relive Thanos\u2019 first solo story.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Thanos\u2019 first solo story”?<\/p>\n

That turns out to be mine.<\/p>\n

But on Free Comic Book Day, it can possibly be yours. So get thee to your local comics shop, which might just have a copy.<\/p>\n

And don’t forget to thank Thanos!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
