Marvel just released the first trailer for Marvel Rising: Initiation. Initiation will be released as six animated shorts first appearing on Disney XD on August 13th.

These six shorts will introduce some of the characters appearing in the feature length animated movie, Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors. I am so thankful for the opportunity to write these shorts and the movie.

Watch the trailer below and check out Entertainment Weekly for more info about Marvel Rising.

Hi Everyone!

I’m heading down to San Diego Comic-Con this month and that means getting to play my favorite road trip game: Marvel Music Mash-Ups! It’s not all actually Marvel songs, but you put on a random song playlist and try to decide who each song is about. For example:

Broken – lovelytheband – This is definitely Ash and Michael from Star Trek Discovery (Just be together you two!!!). The appeal to embrace your imperfections, the allusion to a family/community that’s all around you but somehow a little separate from you, it all works for me.

Anyway, feel free to tweet me your favorite mash-up. And once you get down there drop by and say ‘hi’ at one of my events below:
