Greg Rucka is one of the most acclaimed comic book writers and novelists in the business.

So sit back and enjoy this special edition of Fresh Ink Online, where Greg chats about three of his all-time favorite comics, The Question, Justice League International, and Mage: The Hero Discovered. Enjoy!

Fans of EA’s wildly popular Battlefield franchise will be pleased to know that the newest installment, Battlefield 1943, will be released on Xbox Live on July 8 (1200 MS Points), and July 9 on the PlayStation Network. Unfortunately, PC players will have to wait until the fall to get their hands on the game, despite their being the reason for the franchise's massive success.
