Q&A
Introducing Season Three of Game of Thrones
Q: What can we expect from the third season of Game of Thrones?
A: The third season of Game of Thrones coincides with the third book in the Song of Ice and Fire series, A Storm of Swords. We finally get to meet Mance Rayder, King of the Wildlings and there are a lot of new characters coming. The writing is tight and there are a lot of fantastic expositional moments that ground us in where we left off in season two. The madness continues in this season and we can expect even more action and surprises.
The Private Eye: An Independent Comic Book Series
Q: Can you tell us more about Brian K. Vaughn’s comic book series, The Private Eye?
A: Brian K. Vaughn, the comic book and television writer, has teamed up with artist Marcos Martin to create The Private Eye, a 10-issue maxi-series about a paparazzo who is also a private investigator. Set in the near future, after a major information security lapse, the story follows the search for information in a world without wireless or networking. Readers can pay what they want and download the series in a variety of formats from panelsyndicate.com. The writing is fantastic and full of pop culture references, making it a great choice for comic book and sci-fi fans alike.
Bioshock Infinite: A Highly Anticipated Video Game
Q: What can we expect from the long-anticipated video game Bioshock Infinite?
A: The game, spearheaded by Ken Levine and Irrational Games, takes place in the early 1900s in a floating city called Columbia, a sprawling and politically charged world full of intrigue and xenophobia. As the spiritual sequel to the original Bioshock, the game has big shoes to fill, but so far it is delivering with great gameplay and an engaging storyline. It is available for purchase from K Publisher and is a must-play for fans of the series or anyone looking for a unique, creative gaming experience.
