It just gets worse...

From Marvel's March '08 solicits:

MARVEL SPOTLIGHT: LAURELL K. HAMILTON/GEORGE R.R. MARTIN
Written by JOHN RHETT THOMAS
Marvel Best–Selling Authors Laurell K. Hamilton and George R. R. Martin – two titans of modern fiction – get their turn in this month's SPOTLIGHT! Hamilton's ANITA BLAKE: VAMPIRE HUNTER series of novels has been going strong since the early nineties, creating legions of fans with a passion for her unique brand of Midwestern vampire mythology. Martin's medieval fantasy THE HEDGE KNIGHT charmed fans of his massively popular epic A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE with the tales of young Dunk and his journey to knighthood. Both New York Times best-selling writers bring the depth and variety of their exciting literature properties to Marvel. Together, they've already achieved great things – but with what's coming in 2008, you haven't seen anything yet!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$2.99

Sure, they do spotlights all the time. But to put the two of them together in one spotlight? It's blasphemy I tell you. That and the write up makes it look like they're working together at some point. I can only hope that this is hyperbole and an enthusiastic write up because otherwise I think I'm going to be sick.

As much as I would love to see a writing god such as GRRM rip Hamilton a new one, I have been lucky enough to meet the man, and he is laid back, friendly, and very classy. I doubt he would do something like that to anyone, unless hugely provoked.

Maybe she'll accuse him of hating his characters, his writing, and his fans because he KILLS OFF CHARACTERS, which is so vewy evil and nasty!
