Maekar maneuvered Neferion toward the small fortress, his hands steady on the reins as he focused his thoughts. With a simple mental command, Neferion obeyed, unleashing a torrent of orange and green flames from his massive jaws. The fire cascaded down upon the fortress, the heat so intense that ...

Today was the day—it was time for San Diego Comic-Con. My schedule was packed: the first Invincible panel of the con in the morning, and the evening reserved for what could be one of the biggest announcements of the event—the reveal of Batman Begins and the official announcement of the DCU. M...

“So, it’s done then?” I asked, holding my phone close to my ear as the cold wind whipped around me. My breath escaped in visible puffs, the icy air biting at my skin. The rugged landscape stretched out before me—endless white ice fields under a pale gray sky, dotted with jagged peaks of g...

Maekar
Dragonstone
Maekar walked through the shadowed corridors of Dragonstone, the stone walls cold and silent around him. The sound of his boots echoed softly as he made his way to Daenerys' chambers.
As he re...

"Gotham has to feel like a patchwork of different eras, a place that’s both modern and decaying. New York and Chicago give us that mix—New York has the density, the grittiness, and Chicago gives us the verticality, the towering skyline," Nolan said as we walked through the corridors of the st...

Maekar and Daenerys laid in her chambers in Dragonstone. Moonlight cascaded through the tall, arched windows, casting a silvery glow on their entwined bodies.
Daenerys laid on her side, her nude form a stark contrast to Maekar's muscular frame. Her skin was smooth and unblemished...

I was stretched out comfortably on one of the plush couches in the home theatre of my new apartment. My body sank into the soft velvet cushions, and I relaxed, maybe a little too much for my liking. It was almost too soft. The movie Bridget Jones's Diary played on the screen, but my ey...

Rodrick Greyjoy sat up in bed, his head aching from the excesses of the previous night. 'How low the heir of House Greyjoy has been reduced,' he thought bitterly, 'overseeing tax collection from these greenlanders.'
The fury inside him flared hotter as he reflected on his exile t...

Harald knelt by the river, which he had been told was called the Sevenstreams. The gentle current rippled beneath him as he caught sight of his reflection in the water. His long, sandy-blond hair cascaded over his broad shoulders, and his beard—wild and unruly—framed his face like a lion’s ...

Daenerys nearly skipped down the hallway toward the chamber housing the Painted Table, her heart light and her mind filled with thoughts of Maekar. Behind her, Lyonel Storm, Maekar’s sworn shield, followed dutifully.
The last two days had been the best of her life. Ever since s...

Maekar and Lyonel faced each other, their breath visible in the cool morning air. The training yard of the Fireguard Barracks was empty except for the two men, surrounded by the quiet clatter of armor and the muted thud of boots on the packed earth. Maekar held his warhammer in a steady grip, his...

"I can’t believe you managed to get the rights to It from Stephen King," Sam said, shaking his head in disbelief.
"You could’ve at least told me, Danny," Dave added, leaning back in his chair. His tone was half-amused, half-exasperated.
I grinned. "Well...

Harald woke with a start, his heart pounding in his chest. The memories of his battle with Alduin—the mighty dragon’s death—had twisted into a nightmare, filled with fire and shadows that refused to fade even as he sat up. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself, and his gaze fell o...

“Ah, there’s my CCO!” Dave said with a wide smile as I entered his office. He stood up from behind his desk, pulling me into a one-handed hug.
“Hello, head of DC Studios, David Rickman,” I replied in the same tone, hugging him back.
I looked at him, smi...

Rhaenys walked through the dimly lit corridors of Maegor's Holdfast, the soft crunch of her boots echoing against the cold stone floor. Ser Jaime Lannister followed closely behind, his presence silent but constant, a shadow that had been by her side since her return to the Red Keep. They were hea...

Aegon walked toward the Iron Throne. The vast throne room echoed with his steps, empty and cold, amplifying the sound of his boots striking the stone floor. The Iron Throne loomed ahead, its jagged swords and twisted iron glinting menacingly in the dim light. It was an object that had haunted...

I stood in front of a very nondescript building in a part of the city I had never been to before. There weren’t many people around, the streets almost eerily quiet.
So, why was I here? I was on a date—well, a second date—with Margot, who I had asked out two weeks ago....

"This is good," I said, looking at the design for the equipment menu displayed on the screen in front of us. We were in what John and the other employees at Arcaneum called the "thinking room." It was basically a conference room with a large table and a few chairs.

Red Keep
Maekar stood in the corridors of the Red Keep, his gaze fixed on the garden below, where Cersei Lannister sat with her servants and handmaidens, who stood a few paces away. The soft light of the setting sun bathed the scene ...

Kingswood
Maekar did not plan this excursion into the Kingswood.
Their group rode leisurely through the dense greenery of the Kingswood, the path ahead winding and narrowing as it led them deeper into the forest. He rode...

Rhaenys sat at the head of the table, subtly observing her new handmaidens as they finalized the plans for the feast in honor of the Lannisters, who had arrived in King's Landing just the day before. The chamber buzzed with the soft rustle of silk and velvet, and the quiet hum of conversation ble...
