OT: Non-Trek Tie Ins discussion thread

Christopher said:
If it's a tie-in, then it's work for hire, and the owners can do whatever they want with it after the writer turns it in. I was similarly surprised years back when I learned that GraphicAudio had done an audiobook adaptation of my Spider-Man: Drowned in Thunder.

Had the same experience when GraphicAudio did my old Fantastic Four novel, years after the fact.
 
Yeah, I saw that one too, but since he wasn't a Trek writer, I didn't mention it in my post. I'll probably check that one out too.

Actually Christopher Golden has written for Trek once, co-writing Wildstorm's TNG: Embrace the Wolf with Tom Sniegoski in 2000.

I actually read that one back when I first got the comics DVD, but I completely he forgot he co-wrote it.
 
Interesting that the first movie's novelization is written by Richard Mueller, an animation writer who was a story editor on The Real Ghostbusters, and also wrote a couple of episodes for Extreme Ghostbusters. Apparently J. Michael Straczynski hired him for the show because of the novelization.
 
Thought I'd ask this here since @KRAD wrote many of the Farscape comics/graphic novels and might have an answer*: acquired the Farscape Omnibus Volume 1, and was then disappointed that Volume 2 was cancelled. Which of the individual trades should I be looing for to round out the rest of the series?

(* or any of Farscape fan hereabout who's in the know)

You should be on the lookout for the following:

Farscape: Red Sky at Morning
Farscape: Compulsions
Farscape: Scorpius
Farscape: Scorpius: Glorious Basterds
Farscape: The War for the Uncharted Territories *

* Make sure you get the big TPB that was published in 2014, as opposed to the smaller TPB (published as Part 1 of TWFTUT) published in 2011.

Thanks! You are truly a gentleman and a scholar.
 
@Greg Cox , do you know if the price will stick until after it's out? I like to wait until the stuff is out to buy it.

I don't know. All three books have been "out" for awhile, although I believe this is the first time they've been bundled together.
 
Titan's next Marvel Classic Novels omnibus is going to be Wolverine: Weapon X, which includes Weapon X by Marc Cerasini, Road of Bones by @David Mack, and Lifeblood by Mattew Hughes.
I read Road of Bones back when it first came out, and I'd highly recommend it if you're a fan of the character.
I'm not positive, but I think this is the first of the Marvel novels that Pocket did back in the '00s that Titan has republished. I really hope they include more of them because there are quite a few of them written by Trek authors I want to read, but didn't get a chance to when they first came out.

@Greg Cox is your novel, Batman: Court of Owls set in a preexisting universe or it's own?

It's pretty much set in the current comic-book continuity, as of the time that Scott Snyder's original COURT OF THE OWLS storyline came out. It's not so much an adaptation of that storyline, though, as a sequel picking up several months later.

I also referenced a few of my other favorite Batman stories, including the "The Laughing Fish" by Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers, from way back in 1978.
