NYCC 2010: Spotlight On Geoff Johns Panel
The following Information has been provided to T by correspondent Mike Devaney.
Geoff spoke a lot about all things DC including the recent news that Zack Snyder would be directing the new Superman film. He was asked about John Stewart and he said he'll be featured in a Big Green Lantern crossover coming soon. He said Aquaman would be bad ass after the events of Brightest Day. Wasn't able to share more about that.
A fan asked who his favorite B-List character was and he stated he really enjoys Aquaman and wants him to be A-List.He is very excited about the Wonder Woman TV series being developed by David E. Kelly. Another Fan wanted to know if the white light will affect Superman or other previously dead characters and he said the affect was only for the moment shown in Blackest Night.

New York, October 7, 2010– Beginning January 2011, DC Comics will implement a line-wide pricing adjustment, lowering the prices of all standard length 32-page ongoing comic book titles currently priced at $3.99 to $2.99, it was announced today by DC Comics Co-Publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio.

New Comic Day: What Did T Pull?
Well as a possible new feature I will let you know what I decided to spend money on during my weekly visit to the comic shop. I will follow up tomorrow on how much I either enjoyed or was disappointed by the actual pulls.
Today I picked up:
Siege Aftermath: Avengers Prime 1
Justice Society of America 39
Brightest Day 3
Red Robin 13
JSA All Stars 7
Superman Batman Annual 4
I've only read Superman Batman Annual 4 so far. I have been a big fan of the DC Animated Universe since Batman the Animated Series premiered in 92'. It's really good to see DC Comics incorporating Batman Beyond into the tapestry of continuity. Especially if we take it as a multiverse possibility. I'll give you more of my review on that annual tomorrow but now the real question is WHAT DID YOU BUY? Do you like the same books I do or do you hate them? In either case tell me why. I want to know.

Collectible Game Review: Heroclix The Brave and The Bold Expansion & Blackest Night Starter Set
The Brave and The Bold Expansion and Blackest Night Starter Set
by Wizkids/NECA
You may recall there was a time on comicsonline when the site was consumed by Heroclix information. That was 3-4 years ago. The game kind of disappered for a bit and now it’s back. Hammer of Thor was the first release through NECA based in New Jersey who bought the product license from Topps.
Hammer of Thor featured the inclusion of The Runaways (Chase, Molly, Nico, Gert & Lace and Karolina) The Agents of Atlas (Marvel Boy, Jimmy Woo, Gorilla Man, M-11, Namora and Venus) Some Thunderbolts (Mac Gargan Venom, Songbird, Moonstone, and Penance) many Guardians of the Galaxy (Starlord, Rocket Raccoon, and Moondragon) and, as you might expect, a whole lot of Asgardians. The newest Captain America is a beast.
Comic Review: Justice League of America #41
Justice League of America 41
Penciled by Mark Bagley and Written by James Robinson
I have to say that Justice League of America has been such a disappointment to me for a year or more. They started this series out with so much power and promise. Brad Meltzer wrote an incredibly too short run on this book and Dwayne McDuffie tried to keep it going, but it just wasn’t the same. Len Wein’s story involving Amos Fortune and Roulette was really a snooze.
To be fair, some of this might be attributed to the availability (or lack thereof) the “big shots”. Batman is “dead”, Superman is stationed on New Krypton and The Flash is – well – complicated right now, since DC is rebirthing him and I doubt they want to commit him to the team until that’s complete. Also, Green Lantern is fighting the Blackest Night throughout almost every book in the DC comics line.
Comic Review: Ultimate Enemy #1
Ultimate Enemy 1
Pencils by Rafael Sandoval Written by Brian Michael Bendis
BMB just can’t stop writing huge ensemble cast crossover epic stories. If only he could do so consistently well.
I really loved Ultimate Spiderman and I really loved his work on Daredevil. These were groundbreaking, redefining runs on books that sucked you in and made you want to stick with the books. I have enjoyed most of his run on New Avengers, and kind of thought of that as his clinic book that he should use to improve upon ensemble cast narrative and characterization. Sometimes, Wolverine doesn’t seem like himself and sometimes Spidey whipping his mask off with only slight arm twisting goes in the face of everything that had been done over on the main Amazing Spiderman book.
