WonderCon 2010: Part 1


I've just gotten back from WonderCon in San Francisco and I'm full of juicy spoilers.

First up was the Geoff Johns panel where he revealed that there would be a major announcement about DC movies at Comic Con in San Diego. This was in response to a question about DC following in Marvel's footsteps and linking all their superhero movies together.

When I asked about a Wonder Woman movie, he said that he couldn't reveal anything right now. So it looks like DC will be breaking a lot of major news at Comic Con.



The next evening there was a "Brightest Day" panel where everyone who is anyone at DC appeared to discuss where the series was headed following "Blackest Night."

A few of the announcements included Gail Simone relaunching "Birds of Prey" which now features Hawk and Dove, Judd Winick doing "Justice League International" and my personal favorite a Larfleeze Christmas special.
When I pointed out to Tim that the only person missing was Grant Morrison, Tim said that he was in an undisclosed location like when the president delivers the State of the Union.
A few other interesting notes from the weekend:
  • The "Kick Ass" panel was packed so it will be interesting to see if the buzz translates to box office.
  • Daniel Logan from "Star Wars: Episode 2" is voicing Boba Fett in "The Clone Wars."
  • I had to sit through two straight panels for horror movies and that new "Nightmare on Elm Street" is scary.
  • IDW is releasing a "True Blood" comic in July at Comic-Con.
In Part two, the power of Jake Gyllenhaal's dreaminess and Nicolas Cage's overpowering coolness.
