WIZARD EXTRA 2007 (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!
