Andrew Reiner (b. 1975) is the Executive Editor of Game Informer magazine, and author of the comic book series, Humanity. He is also one of the voices on KFan's Video Games Weekly radio show.

[edit] Game Informer

Reiner, as he goes by in the magazine, has been a staple in the pages of Game Informer magazine for 13 years. He made a name for himself, first by wearing a wide variety of hair colors, then later by beating Shigeru Miyamoto head-to-head in a Star Fox 64 competition at E3. He is also one the lucky people to see games well in advance of their release. He was the first person to see Grand Theft Auto IV, which led to hundreds of websites running interviews with him. He is one of the main writers for the magazine, and is trusted for his eye on game reviews.

[edit] Humanity

In an interview with The Good Ok, Reiner says that he started working on a comic book story about 10 years. It eventually became Humanity, a comic book that shows mankind doing ordinary things in extraordinary circumstances. The comic is believed to be about rogue super heroes, and a man whose life is affected by one. The story is also said to be a lot like the TV show Lost in that it is largely a mystery with hidden morsels scattered within the pages. Reiner says that by the time you read the final 100th issue, you will look back to issue 1 and see new things. Humanity is currently scheduled to release in early 2009.
