DC at Comic Con

With the wrap up of New York's Comic Con it's not to hard to find information concerning DC and what they let out there. One of the biggest things they referenced without giving up to much info for was Blackest Night. For those that don't know, Blackest Night revolvews around the Green Lantern. However, not just the Green Lanterns but a whole new spectrum of colored lanterns as well. Aside from Blackest Night, another hot topic was Final Crisis. Crisis wrapped up leaving fans with mixed feelings. Those same fans thought they would get info revealing what really happened but all they got were half witted answers and dodge attempts, as everything DC has done leads into what they have planned to do. However, one great announcement they had was theat they are reducing the cost of their comics from 2.99 to 1.99. There was also a good amount of Flash talk but the only thing said for certain was that Rebirth would return. I guess only time will tell what will really happen in the DCU

Marvel Comic Con Announcements

Though I personally did not attend Comic Con, I was able to attend some of the live blogs taking place during some of Marvel's panels. I have also scoured marvel.com for some of there announcements. For starters, it was announced during the X-Men panel that big things are happening to Cyclops, especially with Emma concerning her place in the Dark Illuminati. Lyla Miller was also another hot topic. For those unfamilar with Miller, she was introduced during House of M and went on to work with X-Factor. During the Messiah Complex story arc she was stuck in the future, and none have heard from her since. However, Peter David(who writes X-Factor) says she will eventually return but would not give away any details. Another hot subject was the Dark Reign panel. With all that has been happening these last few months, this was one of the more popular panels. However, a lot of the panel centered on various Dark Reign mini's. One in particular stood out, Dark Reign: Young Avengers. Much like making a Dark Avengers team, Osborn also recruits a team of Young "dark" Avengers. In the mini series these new Avengers will have to deal with the original team. Well, that is all for now but stay tuned for DC at comic con on Wed.
