Mondo Marvel panel
Present at the panel: Duane Swierczynski, CB Cebulksi, Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada, Executive Editor Tom Brevoort, Dan Slott, Brian Reed, Fred Van Lente and Greg Pak.
Our first announcement was of the next big X-Event: Manifest Destiny. The story will revolve around the teams move to San Fran. San Fran? Why not move here. We need a good team here in Philly.
We then see the first Deadpool cover. This series will start in September and . It will be our favorite Merc with a Mouth after all. Your creative crew is: Daniel Way and Paco Medina
Also big is the news of a new Wolverine Origins artist: Mike Deodato. I’ll keep you updated on that at a later date for sure because this should hit news sites big
King Sized Cable Spectacular is also on the way. With writer Duane Swierczynski on board. This will be more about Bishop and why he wants the baby. I’ll see if I can ask him more when he’s signing
Magneto: Testament is also on the way. By Hercules and World War Hulk writer: Greg Pak. He will be joined by Carmine DiGiandomenico. This series will be interesting with a possible Magneto movie on the way still
Age of the Sentry is also coming out. This story will be by Jeff Parker, Nick Dragota, and Paul Tobin.
Is it me or does September sound nuts? That’s right all these titles will be out then.
We then went to Q/A. I’ll give you the best of that:
Brevoort was called by Steve Wacker and joked of a new Speedball. Who knows if this is serious.
The question came on the connection of Secret War to Secret Invasion which will be answered later.
Brevoort then showed the crowd a copy of Secret Invasion #3 which will be a prize for Prize/No Prize? Hmm I should go for this one. I do know a lot MWHAHAHA
Pak then was asked about Son of Hulk coming to Earth which he answered: We start off with him on the planet and take it from there. My bet: If this does well he’s on Earth in a year tops
Avengers Initiative clues came next with possible hints of a Slingers Super-Skrull, a mention of 3-d Man and the Skrull Kill Krew. Also noted: Christos Gage and Slott would work on a one shot of Initiative about Komodo and Hardball. With new teams in Arizona and Nevada to come. Also Gravity
