Make Mine Marvel!
In late 2008 I was approached by Marvel Executive Editor (now Vice President) Axel Alonso about writing for Marvel. He’d read my novel, PATIENT ZERO, and thought I’d be a good fit. I was delighted with the offer and the opportunity to write for the comic book company I’d been following as a loyal fan since the 1960s (first comic I ever bought was Fantastic Four #68!).

Double-sized one-shot with two all-new stories!
In “The Anniversary,” it’s terror at thirty-thousand feet! It’s a few days before the anniversary of Mariko’s death, and Logan is making the long pilgrimage to Japan to pay his respects when his 747 is suddenly seized by a group of terrorists who plan on blowing up the craft over downtown Honolulu! If Logan is to save the plane and its passengers, he’ll have to rely on all of his guile, instincts and predatory skills… because all it takes is one bullet to destabilize the plane’s pressure, or a split-second’s warning for the terrorist leader to detonate the bomb strapped to his chest…And in “Ghosts,” a squad of ninja assassins is the least of Logan’s problems.

WOLVERINE: FLIES TO A SPIDER
Collecting five tales of all-out Wolverine action! First, you’ve heard the story before: A beautiful woman picks up a guy in a bar. They have a couple drinks, show each other a good time. And when he wakes up the next morning, the guy finds himself in a bathtub full of ice, with two fewer kidneys than he had the night before. Well, Wolverine’s heard this story too and he ain’t too thrilled by it. Then, someone or something is laying down roadtraps for passing motorists. Is it the work of a serial killer? Or is the entire town in on the crime? The only way for Logan to know for sure is to offer himself as bait. Next, see Wolverine at his fiercest as he meets the Road Dawgs, the meanest, nastiest, most jacked-up bike gang you could ever encounter. Plus, Wolverine heads to Vegas. In a place where anyone will wager on anything, it’s no wonder that Logan finds himself in a game of Russian Roulette surrounded by rowdy Russian mobsters. Finally, in “The Anniversary,” it’s terror at thirty-thousand feet! As Logan heads to Japan for the anniversary of Mariko’s death, his 747 is suddenly seized by a group of terrorists who plan on blowing up the craft over downtown Honolulu!
