RP Members after the news release about thew Wounded Warrior Project they needed to get some positive news out there today on one good thing! They are mentioned here, is it enough?
Dan Nevins knows the little things that only an amputee would know -- like what it does to your mind when you no longer sense the Earth beneath you.
Which made Nevins -- who was wounded in Iraq in 2004 -- the perfect person to inform an otherworldly new story.
Wednesday, Marvel Comics will release "Venom: Space Knight #3," the latest space tale of Flash Thompson, a veteran and double amputee, who now, finally, gets prosthetic legs. And to make sure the character's change had the ring of realism, Marvel reached out to Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit that helps veterans, which brought Nevins on board for this sci-fi ride.
