Do you have like 90 minutes to kill? If so, you’re in luck – IESB.net has put up the entire Masters of the Web panel from San Diego Comic Con.

Well kids. Looks like the San Diego Comic-Con is done for this year. Here are some sites doing wrap-up of the entire thing. To me it seems like a mixture of lots of news and not a lot. Kinda bitter sweet.

SDCC: A New Era of Amazing Spider-Man?!

July 28th, 2007 rjp Posted in Comic Books, Marvel Comics, SDCC 2007 1 Comment »

A New Era of Amazing Spider-Man?!

Steve Wacker revealed the new creative teams on Amazing Spider-Man (taken from Newsarama):

Steve Wacker: Here’s our launch teams:

Dan Slott, Steve McNiven, Dexter Vines and Morry Hollowell
Marc Guggenheim, Salvador Larrocca and Jason Keith
Bob Gale, Phil Jimenez, Andy Lanning and Jeromy Cox
Zeb Wells, Chris Bachalo, Tim Townshend and Antonio Fabela

The title is adopting a “thrice-monthly” shipping schedule later in 2007. I know I should cut down on my attention to Dan Slott but this will likely get me reading Amazing Spider-Man now! Newsarama has more:

Holy F**K there’s a lot of news! Lets get to some of the hi-lights:

Titans East - new title

Titans East

Judd Winick is going to be writing Titans East. Talkin’ to my good friend William about Titans last night and we both agreed that it needs to come back to being “FUN” and less depressing angst-ridden bullshit we have seen lately. That theme will kill sales, I believe.

Watchmen: The Comedian

Okay I was wrong on the casting of the new The Comedian. Thomas Jane is not  The Comedian but rather Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Hmm… I don’t know if that works for me.
