I Named A Marvel Character!
Alright, so it’s out! Incredible Hercules #118 came out yesterday, with the Marvel character I named!
This is the original journal entry I made:
Anyone remember how in Incredible Hercules, some time ago, they asked for suggestions on how to name Amadeus Cho’s coyote pup? Well, check this out:
Subject: INCREDIBLE HERCULES - You named Amadeus Cho’s Pup!
Hey Magnus,
Fred Van Lente and Greg Pak here. We just wanted to say congratulations ’cause we selected your clever suggestion, Kerberos, as the official name of Amadeus Cho’s coyote pup.
We really liked the combo mythological/computer programming connection, and this way we can nickname ‘em Kirby, which we also like for hopefully-obvious reasons.
We’re writing not just to thank you, but also because we’re acknowledging your success in the upcoming Incredible Hercules #118 (shipping in June) and we wanted to know if you wanted to tell us your real name to credit you; otherwise, we’ll just list you as “MaGnUs”.
Let us know ASAP, and congrats again!
Best,
Fred & Greg

Well, they could have sent me an autographed copy… although my heart is warmed by a local fellow fan that called me the “Silver Surfer of Uruguayan fandom”. *blush* Oh, and when Herc yells “NERD!”… HE”S YELLING AT ME!!! I’VE BEEN CALLED A NERD BY A GREEK GOD!!!! BY THE QUINTESSENTIAL JOCK OF MYTHOLOGY!!!

PS: Yeah, I know, shameless self-promotion…
