Baltimore Comicon: Marvel News

Annoying Gaming Habits, and How to Deal with Them

Tabletop roleplaying games, as well as LARPs are exercises in social contracts. Whenever a group of people sit down to play they all have to agree on the system, the arbitration of said system and on hundreds of unspoken rules. Of course, in this hodgepodge system there's always room for someone to start rocking boats, rattling cages and tipping over cows.

Interview: Dustin Nguyen

Batman: Streets of Gotham artist Dustin Nguyen has brought to life characters of the DCU with his unique and striking art style. Dustin’s art work can also be found in the pages of Wildstorm, Supernatural, and the Friday the 13th books. A favorite among comic fans, I had the pleasure to speak with him about his career, comics and the return of Bruce Wayne.

Tom Brevoort, C.B. Cebulski, and Barry Kitson sat down with fans at the Baltimore Comicon to discuss all things Marvel.

White Tiger will return, the company just has to figure out where she’ll appear.
The Loners (see sneak peek) is still a mini-series, although the group will appear in the Marvel Holiday Special. Look for more news on the Loners from Marvel soon.
Secret Invasion will feature more about Skrull Elektra.
Tony Stark is not a Skrull.
A five-issue Young Avengers series will launch in January 2008.
- Ed Brubaker, Brian Reed, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and Paul Cornell will be writing the first four issues that focus on one or two of the Young Avengers.
Marc Guggenheim will be addressing Wolverine’s level of indestructiblity in the future.
Following Conquest, Nova will move to a section of the universe no Marvel characters have seen yet.
No more Ultimate Hulk/Ultimate Wolverine until all the scripts are in. Issues #3 and #4 have been turned in.
New Universal has not been cancelled.
Steve Rogers is still dead, but expect the Captain America title to continue.
Steve Rogers is dead. Dead. Get it? Dead!
The Dr. Strange mini-series sales were not as strong as hoped, so don’t expect to see an ongoing series anytime soon.
Amazing Spider-Man has been plotted for the next year. There are a couple large stories, and small stories mixed into the big picture.
The closest thing to a weekly Marvel will be doing is the three-times-a-month Amazing Spider-Man.
Thor is part of Secret Invasion.
There are about a half-dozen What If? stories coming at the end of 2007.
Runaways will be available as an audio book.

Not a lot of Earth shattering announcements, however, if the Runaways audio book is done with the same high quality as Infinite Crisis, sign me up now.
