    I was so disgusted by the lack of coverage from Wizard World Philly! Everything was Twitter. I don’t tweet. I have no idea how to follow that. What happened to the good ‘ol articles with art, etc.?? There was good coverage from Heroes Con but even Wizard’s web site had no articles about Philly. All Twitter. STUPID!

    Ok, so the point here is that I hope the San Diego ‘Con gets back to normal with all their coverage. Hopefully The Source will post the panels and maybe have video’s of the panels??

    So, may I assume that there will be a new book for a member of the JSA and Freddie Williams is drawing it, with Matt Sturges writing? Who could it be?

  7. mambazo says on July 2nd, 2009 at 2:27 pm :

    JoseG, why would they hold panels for books that barely sell over 30k? You don’t see them having a panel for Secret Six or for Booster Gold do you?

  8. SageShinigami says on July 2nd, 2009 at 4:40 pm :

    @ JoseG:

    Let’s not look for problems, please? You know why they’re focusing on those three families of titles. And if you don’t, its because right now those three characters have multiple books with major (well-written, no less) storylines going on right now.

    Maybe after Gail’s set up some big stuff over in WW, and it garners enough attention to get a second title, it’ll get a panel. I’d love that.

    The Legion hasn’t had a real book since January–they’re a back-up for Superboy now. What do you hold a panel on them to talk about? How they should’ve waited until the month before Adventure to end the last title? Well, I agree with you, but if you did that it wouldn’t end well.

  9. querldox says on July 2nd, 2009 at 9:03 pm :

    Oh Jose, we could always make our own Legion room, and cry on each others shoulders for comfort

    Will Grant Morrison be attending the Batman panel?
