Something Old, Something New

The final covers are in on the new two Wild Cards books in the pipeline, and I thought I'd share

I would say I would give my right hand to be as talented an artist as Michael Komarck, but I think you need hands to do it properly.

David Plumbo

Have really loved seeing Komarck's art on the reprints, and could certainly see more in the future, but Plumbo's a fine artist (with a rather illustrious family!) and I quite like how he's depicted The Oddity, going with the mask as a contrast to Truman's old cover. Makes him much more mysterious.

This is the first time that a Tor reprint has depicted the exact same scene as a Truman cover. Cool to see the contrasts. :)

The original edition of Volume 8 was always a little on the slender side, so I'm glad this one will be getting beefed up with new content. Any hints as to what/who will be featured in the new stories?

I truly appreciate that when reissuing the older Wild Card volumes - besides packaging them with that gorgeous cover art - you've been inserting a couple of extra stories as sweeteners for us long time readers of this series.

I hope by late August, Oddity will be obscured by a new gold star which will state "Series Premiere Fall 2018" or words to that effect.

TV Series?

Slightly related, but have there been any updates about the Wild Cards TV series? My 2018 slate is looking pretty empty.

All old Wild Cards books?

Sorry if this is a repeat question, but are all of the old Wild Cards books going to be re-released as trade paperbacks with new cover art?

That's the plan, but at the moment we are only under contract through volume twelve. So after ONE-EYED JACKS, we will be doing JOKERTOWN SHUFFLE, DOUBLE SOLITAIRE, DEALER'S CHOICE, and TURN OF THE CARDS.

After that, it will depend on sales.
