The MARVEL-ous Tamora Pierce

In a match guaranteed to make a fan girl swoon, Marvel Comics announced this past Friday that they have signed this blogger's favorite author, Tamora Pierce to an exclusive deal. The announcement was made at the NY Comic-Con. For more details you can check out the press release at Tamora Pierce's website.

In addition to the fabulous Ms. Pierce, whom I've already plugged many a time here, this project will feature covers and character designs by the talented David Mack, creator of the Kabuki series. The only bad thing I can see about this is that the series won't be out until November or December of '06!
