Jeff Parker at Publisher’s Weekly, Jonathan Case at 2K Games

PWCW: During your Agents of Atlas series in 2006-2007, you did a bit of viral marketing via the “Temple of Atlas” blog on the Marvel site. How did that come about? Do you see that as a precursor to the more extensive viral marketing that Marvel is doing now with things like Secret Invasion?

JP: Possibly, I need to ask them about that. As for more extensive… go back and read through what we did and see which one had more work behind it! We gave players a whole pulp novella online and two months of puzzles to solve, and had to coordinate with a dozen websites. And by “we” I mean “me.”

Laura Hudson interviews Jeff Parker for Publisher’s Weekly.

And at the 2K Games Bioshock blog:

To celebrate BioShock’s arrival to the PS3, I’m releasing a new wallpaper so you all can refresh your desktops with new a BioShock image. Hopefully this will help tide you over till the game gets into your hands.

This image came thanks to Jonathan Case…

Read more and download the screensaver.

(And then go read the first chapter of Jonathan’s awesome graphic novel Sea Freak.)
