ABOUT THE BOOK Years ago, a boxing champion named Mammoth was exiled and imprisoned. Now, a decade later, he’s ready to return to the family, title and country he’d left behind…though all have passed him by. But before he can return, Mammoth has to escape. And every escape has a story. This, then, is the beginning of that story. Kings and Canvas, an original boxing fantasy tale, explores the lengths a man will go to find purpose after life, liberty and career have passed him by. “Game of Thrones meets Rocky Balboa”—but with sea dwarves, pirate referees and talking, boxing dragons—Kings and Canvas journeys across the frontier of a changed America in which honor is gained not by using guns or swords, but rather fists, wits and the courage to change. It’s a world in which man, beast and champion stride battlefields and either raise their gloves in triumph…or taste canvas in bitter defeat.

“The Phoenix Chase” Sends Kid Omega After the Powers of the Phoenix Force

Aconyte Books and Marvel Comics’ “School of X” line has a new novel coming out. The Phoenix Chase hails from Neil Kleid.

“Kid Omega’s latest scheme to set up his own mutant school goes horribly awry when mysterious aliens called the Remaining kidnap his “students,” demanding a rare Phoenix Egg—source of the awesome Phoenix Force—in exchange for their lives. Wildly out of his depth, Kid Omega turns to Cyclops for help. He gets a ride with space pirates the Starjammers, and someone more responsible: Cyclops’ brother Alex “Havok” Summers. Their mission: rescue the students, recover the Egg, save the day. But it won’t be easy. Galaxy-hopping sleuthing, heists, and action lead the X-Men to clues that reveal a monstrous plot using the Phoenix Egg to ultimately conquer the universe.” (Marvel Comics)

The Phoenix Chase: A School of X Novel goes on sale on May 16, 2023.

Hello all,

Many of you know that I was a roadie for many years, touring with bands to include Mötley Crüe, Tool, Britney, Gaga, Soundgarden, Black Keys and more. 

My second tour in 2002 was the brilliant Tori Amos. On that tour (over 20 years ago) I met Neil Gaiman, who was hanging out backstage w/ T. He had a galley of Endless Nights. I told him that when I worked at a comic book shop (Geppi’s Harborplace in Baltimore) in my college days, I sold countless copies of Sandman—

We became friends and when Neil would visit LA, I would drive him to business meetings etc. I got a first class education in how to pitch films /stories and in 2016, he hired me full time with The Blank Corporation. Grateful for my lucky life!

Z2 reached out to both me and Neil to contribute to the newest Tori Amos graphic novel. We now have a few of these hard cover books for sale! They retail for $39.99 and we have created a code to give you $5 off that. Please enter the code : Tori5 at check out at neverwear.net, that will take the fiver right off the total. (& if you don’t want the book, the code is good for $5 off anything at the shop)

  BONUS: I asked Neil to sign only one copy that we will sneak into the pile- the rest will be signed by me. (Cat) My story about ghosts & music was beautifully illustrated by Paul Roman Martinez, who did the Calendar of Tales cards for us. Never did I dream I would share a book with Colleen Doran or Margaret Atwood, but here we are… 

Summary from Z2 Comics (they have sold out of all the premium versions!)

The official graphic novel celebrating 30 years of Tori Amos's breakout album: Little Earthquakes. The landmark release that established her iconic thematic voice, as well as her live intensity behind the keys with unflinching lyrics and songs that would inspire generations of artists and musicians. 

This graphic novel demonstrates the lasting influence of this defining work with 24 stories inspired by the 12 songs on the album, as well as the 12 ‘B-sides’ that accompanied the album and its associated singles. With star writers such as Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood  assembled by Z2 editor Rantz Hoseley, who previously edited the multi-award-winning Tori book: Comic Book Tattoo

Standard Hardcover Edition — $39.99

8” x 8” Hardcover Graphic Novel

WRITERS & ARTISTS: Neil Gaiman, Bilquis Evely, Margaret Atwood, David Mack, Leah Moore, Cat Mihos, Colleen Doran, Derek McCulloch, Lar deSouza, Annie Zaleski, Marc Andreyko, Neil Kleid, Alison Sampson and Paul Roman Martinez

Or maybe he'll just be flattered that the artist thought of him.

According to the artist, the resemblance (toothy grin, long dimples and matching ears included) is just a happy coincidence...

No, according to the author, not the artist. Two different people.

The author who people have been dragging on Twitter is Neil Kleid; the artist is Christina Myrvold. It's literally stated in the tweet I shared.

And now, one for fans of The X-Men's Kid Omega, a.k.a. Quentin Quire: My exclusive interview with Neil Kleid, author of the Marvel-ous novel "School Of X: The Phoenix Chase." 📖🧬🧠🚀

[newx-menfan]

How…HOW does QQ keep getting shit made about him???? HOW????

“On May 16, 2023, you can pick up The Phoenix Chase: A Marvel: School of X Novel from Aconyte Books, but right now, you can hear directly from its author Neil Kleid.

AIPT: What’s your elevator pitch for The Phoenix Chase?

Neil: After allowing his best friends to be kidnapped by a group of mysterious aliens, Kid Omega reluctantly partners with Alex Summers (aka Havok) and the Starjammers — captained by Alex’s recently resurrected father, Corsair! — to scour the galaxy for a Phoenix Egg, the one thing they can use to ransom back Quentin Quire’s friends. Along the way, they come face-to-face with not only some of Marvel’s better-known space-faring heroes, villains, and locales, but also their hopes and fears as fathers, sons, teachers, and students.”

All I can say is….where the F*** is my Hellion/Surge/Prodigy NOVEL Marvel??!!!

SERIOUSLY HOW many times is Marvel gonna try to make Kid Omega a thing???
