1. Real-Life Superhero Story To Be Told Wednesday

    Phoenix Jones, a “real-life superhero” who has organized a group helping to keep the streets of Seattle safe, will tell his full story in an exclusive interview to be published tomorrow at WizardWorld.com. 

    Jones, who spoke to noted author and self-proclaimed Nerd Ken Goldstein, was also photographed by famed movie photographer Peter Tangen (see his photo of Jones at right).  Goldstein’s stories and Tangen’s photos and video promise to be the first full disclosures of Jones’ motivations and other details of his life.

    “Many aspects of Phoenix’s personality come through in the interviews,” said Goldstein, who as a confident of Jones prior to his unmasking on October 6 in Seattle was able to extract many intimate details of his subject’s life.  “He is Phoenix Jones the superhero, Benjamin Foder the husband and father, and ‘Flattop’ the MMA fighter.  The real man is way cooler than just Phoenix Jones.”

    “This is the kind of story that gets me really excited to be in the superhero business. Phoenix is a real life version of what we’ve been reading about for decades,” said Gareb Shamus, Wizard World CEO.
