8th sign of the apocalypse

What’s your choice for a potential 8th sign of the apocalypse, referring to sci-fi and fantasy?
My pick: George R. R. Martin releases A Dance With Dragons and then surprises us with the next volume one year later.
Don’t worry, I’m just kidding around here. I love that series. I miss it, but it will be worth the wait. Can’t wait to see the TV show come to HBO.
