This past weekend I went to the mecca of all things geek and pop culture, San Diego Comic-Con International. I went to a number of panels and walked the floor and here is all the Marvel news and tidbits I gathered! I was also able to get some pictures of the slides that went with some of the announcements. I did get in trouble with security a couple of times because we weren’t supposed to take pictures of what was on the screens.

-Rocket Raccoon and Groot by Abnett and Lanning, Art Timothy Green, Cover by Mike Mignola Jan ’11
Lanning said he couldn’t say much about the series without revealing details of the “Thanos Imperative,” but would say “Groot will refer to himself as Groot, and Rocket will fire some unfeasibly large cannons.

-Red Hulk will be joining the Avengers in issue #7

-Issue #4 of “Avengers” will feature Galactus, then they showed a slide of a two page spread from the issue and Bendis joked that the side of the spread of Romita’s art for the issue read “Fuck you, Bendis” as the spread was chock full of detailed information.

– Throughout the Marvel panels they kept showing teases asking “Who is the new Man Without Fear?” All the candidates that they showed were Nova, Gambit, Falcon, Black Panther, and Kraven the Hunter. We were told that after Shadowland one of those would be the new Man Without Fear.

-Thor will be a playable character in Marvel vs Capcom 3!

-Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness are doing a new series called Avengers: Three starring Captain America, Thor and Iron Man.

-Marvel will be doing the prequel to the Enders series  in 2011 called Formic Wars: Burning Earth.

-October of this year will see Tron: The Betrayal which will be a 2 issue series giving the back story on the upcoming Tron: Legacy movie

-At the Cup o’ Joe panel they  showed a slide of the Crossgen logo, which then morphed into another logo. Joe Quesada then said he couldn’t comment on it any further.

-While its not a crossover Wolverine’s journey to hell in the upcoming Jason Aaron book will be reflected in Daken and X-23’s books in unexpected ways.

-Wolverine the Best There Is by Charlie Huston and Juan Jose Ryp.

-Rick Remender said that in Uncanny X-Force the team will have co-captains of Wolverine and Archangel as a way of having checks and balances with each other.

-Starting in Jan’11 the X-Men will be teaming up with other major heroes to take on major villains in Sworn to Protect. The message they’re sending out to the people are “If you need us, we’re out there” Arune Singh told us to pay attention to the past “We are the X-Men” teasers in regards to this.

-Kieron Gillen will be writing a book about Hope and the Five Lights called Generation Hope, behind the slide they showed appeared to be the phoenix.

– My favorite question from any of the panels had to be at the X-Men panel when a fan asked “Have you guys ever seen San Francisco? Its not that sunny.” To which X-Men editor Axel Alonso replied “Motherfucker I am from San Francisco!”

– There were various props from the upcoming Thor and Captain America movies on display at the Marvel booth. Odin’s Throne! Odin, Loki, and Thor’s helmets! Captain America’s shield! And from the Thor movie… The Infinity Gauntlet??? Wha huh??? AWESOME!!!

Well folks there you have it! More Marvel news than you can shake a stick at!
