Wired’s Marvel’s Ender’s Game’s Comic’s Preview
Wired has a few textless pages of Marvel’s upcoming Ender’s Game comic, which is apparently going to be subtitled Battle School (which I can’t help but think would also be the inevitable name for an Ender’s Game movie, had it been made in the ’80s or ’90s for the nerd renaissance). It’s mainly Ender getting the crap kicked out of him, followed by a general telling him about the war with the aliens, and it’s all very shiny. Read it Uh, look at it here, and try and remember the good times when Orson Scott Card was just a swell sci-fi writer instead of a lunatic who wanted to overthrow the American government to stop gay marriage. Sigh.
