As announced by Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Joe Quesada during the Cup ‘o Joe panel at the New York Comic Con, the hardcover collection of Dabel Brothers Productions Red Prophet, due in July, will feature an exclusive original short story titled “The Gold Bug” by Orson Scott Card set in the Ender’s Game universe.
The ever-informative Les Dabel has provided us an early sneak-peek at a mockup cover for the story, by the talented Jin Han. Han will also be providing the interior art to go along with the adapted script. We even received some hints about the story, which will feature a former pilot from the war who now lives on the world where the colony ship will bring Ender Wiggins to take up the governorship. The protagonist will explore the planet after Ender arrives and make a discovery that could be of great importance to humanity.
