Success stories included Dark Horse’s on-going BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER SEASON EIGHT, IDW’s brilliant relaunch of the STAR TREK franchise, Image’s mega-hit WALKING DEAD from Robert Kirkman, and Marvel bringing the classic sci-fi series ENDER’S GAME into the graphic novels world. 2010 promises to be a stellar year with a mix of promising newcomers (Nadja Spiegelman), returning superstars (Stephen King), and another slate of pop-culture events including SPIDER-MAN’s debut on Broadway in February and Tim Burton’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND feature film in March. This Spring’s title offerings truly have something for everyone. In January we’ll see the graphic novel debut of one of the all-time great books of our time, STEPHEN KING’S THE STAND: AMERICAN NIGHTMARES from Marvel. In February Dark Horse will bring out an omnibus of CHOBITS from the manga supergroup CLAMP. In March IDW will re-invent another timeless franchise, this time the GHOSTBUSTERS with DISPLACED AGRESSION. In April Archie brings forth an event 80 years in the making – ARCHIE: THE WEDDING. As a bonus, in April Toon Books will launch the comics career of one Nadja Spiegelman with her debut title ZIG AND WIKKI: SOMETHING ATE MY HOMEWORK. Nadja is none other than the daughter of Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly. Years from now we will look back at this moment when a new star is born.

Fifteen years later, Martin is living in Iran with his wife and young son, while Nasim is in charge of the virtual world known as Zendegi, used by millions of people for entertainment and business.
