Michael Swanwick’s previous collection with Tachyon Publications was THE DOG SAID BOW-WOW (2007). In NOT SO MUCH, SAID THE CAT he takes a feline turn, collecting 17 stories published between 2008 and 2014, including Hugo nominee “From Babel’s Fall’n Glory We Fled…”.

Also at NYCC 2016, UNBOUND WORLDS interviewed Peter V. Brett about the forthcoming film and graphic novel based on his best selling DEMON CYCLE fantasy series.

UNBOUND WORLDS: Let’s jump right to it. You have big news about THE WARDED MAN.

PETER V. BRETT: We just signed a movie option with New Harlem productions, so hopefully sometime soon we’ll be putting together a movie for the DEMON CYCLE series. I’m pretty excited about that. We just announced it in Variety this week.

UW: Can you mention any names right now?

PVB: New Harlem productions is the company that optioned it. Spike Seldin is the head of it. He’s also the president of Atlas Comics, so we’re planning to do a companion graphic novel which I’ll write and, at the same time, develop the screenplay.

UW: Is there a schedule for when we can expect to see the comic?

PVB: Not yet. Atlas Comics is just getting back off the ground. It was the original competitor for Marvel Comics, and so their entire library has just come out of some legal contention over the years. There are a lot of people who inherited the property, and finally, it has become unstuck and they’re relaunching it next year. Once its up and running, we’ll get the graphic novel together. I’ve got an artist that I’ve been working with for a few years and I’m really excited to do the book with him. I’m really excited about it, but we don’t have a date yet.
