This isn’t new news, per se, but if you haven’t heard, George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones novel is being turned into a tv series for HBO.
You can learn more about the tv series at IMDB

Or at various websites that are devoted to it
Now I’ve never read any of Martin’s work, so I can’t speak for it, but with casting like Lena Headey, Jason Momoa and Sean Bean the tv series has piqued my interest. And while I’ve never been (and never WILL be) a fan of Sopranos or Sex In The City, I think HBO makes some top-notch series (myself being a fan of much of their work ranging from Dream On and Tales from the Crypt to True Blood and Hung.
I know many people love George R. R. Martin, and I had heard it was an influence on the BioWare game, Dragon Age: Origins, so I’m looking forward to seeing what this series looks like.

Having enjoyed writing reviews and postings for other sites he decided to start his own where he combined his creative urges to write and create web comics (such as Episode Fun and Alistair & Arthur) with his long-held desire to bring together and organize talented people for joint projects. The end result is that you get the Wausau Comics site - articles and reviews of genre entertainment at In Genre plus some web comics and links to the works of other Contributors, too!
