the writer for the first interview definately did not read the books...he mentioned gunpowder (which is only now being proposed by mat,) thought that men couldn't handle the "dual nature" of the power, and said NS was the tenth book to come out.

the NS trailer and artworks looks incredible though, i liked the funny bit about Jordan recalling how his mom through out his comics.
