Behind an ALL-NEW Ron Lim / Al Milgrom cover, Simon Kinberg (movie screenwriter of X-Men 3: The Last Stand and Fantastic Four, as well as Mr. And Mrs. Smith and XXX: State of the Union) has been interviewed, telling how he puts pop-culture icons like Marvel's mutants on the silver screen! Dennis O'Neil tells how he took the screenplay from the blockbuster Batman Begins movie and translated it into his top-selling prose novel!

Plus: Kurt Busiek on breaking into comics as a writer. The legendary Mike Friedrich talks about the role (or lack thereof) of writers' agents in the comics business. Novelist Bill McCay reveals how to do research so your story has the ring of truth! Comedian / comics writer / novelist Marc Bilgrey on how And Don't Forget to Rescue the Princess — his new comedy-fantasy novel — came to be.
