Wizard Extra Features Commentary From Perez News Fri, 22 Dec 2006 18:38:56 CST Ilke From Ilke It's noted on page 200 of the latest Previews (for March shipping products) that Wizard Extra will reprint "exclusive commentary from: Alex Ross, Brian Bendis, Michael Turner, Geoff Johns, Ethan Van Sciver, Brad Meltzer, David Finch, George Perez and more!" >>> School of Wizards Tuesday, December 12, 2006 2:04:01 PM WIZARD EXTRA (Mar 2007) What goes to press is not necessarily what first went on the drawing board. Writer and artists both cannot count how many times their gameplans changed before a story was earmarked for publication. An editor ultimately decides what goes into a book, and this means that good ideas get sidelined simply because time is of the essence, and page constraints do not allow for novel-length plot development and dialogue. But with Wizard Extra, you get the inside scoop on what ideas were on the table for a book before the editor got out the chopping block. If you want to re-visit some of your favorite storylines along with a "director’s commentary" feature, then Wizard Extra treats you to never-before-revealed characters and alternate storylines from modern comic classics. Whether you’re into the Avengers, Spider-Man, Superman, or the X-Men, there’s plenty to read in this book that features exclusive interviews with Alex Ross, Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Turner, Geoff Johns, Joss Whedon, John Cassady, and others. Plus, hidden art "easter eggs" treats! Look for Wizard Extra in the Premiere section of Previews! Related WIZARD
