Orson Scott Card and Marvel Team for ENDER'S GAME Prequel

Orson Scott Card and Marvel Comics shows no signs of being less-frutiful. A press release was issued by the publisher today announcing Formic Wars: Burning Earth, an Ender’s Game prequel mini-series written by Card and Aaron Johnston with illustrations by Giancarlo Caracuzzo. 

“I've been so happy with Marvel's comic-book adaptation of Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Ender in Exile and Speaker of the Dead that I wanted my long-imagined story of the Formic Wars to appear first in this wonderfully visualized form,” said Orson Scott Card, “With a whole new set of characters, putting together a ragtag fleet of improvised and adapted spacecraft to take on an alien invader, I think these are some of the best, most inspiring stories in the Ender's Game future history, and through the work of Marvel's great team of writers and artists, my tales are coming to life with a power and reality I never could have managed on my own.”

It'll be good to finally see Mazer Rackman in action this February when issue 1 (of 7) hits the shelves.
