San Diego News

Aside from the Marvelman bombshell, there wasn't really all that much out of San Diego Comic Convention this year that excited me. Here are the other bits of news that caught my eye:
  • Geoff Johns will be the writer of an ongoing All-Flash title sometime after Flash: Rebirth wraps up later this year (with a Kid Flash companion title also announced)
  • James Robinson let slip some of the members of his Justice League of America roster, when he takes over the book in October or so (Dick Grayson-Batman, Mon-El as a Superman Family representative, Donna Troy, and Congorilla?!)
  • More Blackest Night minis were announced, which could be a good thing (since I'm enjoying the title/event so far) or simply a cash grab
  • Lost (the TV show) will have a different structure than the flashforwards that characterized Season Four or the time travel that dominated Season Five
  • Heroes (also a TV show) will continue to suck next season, with the high point being that Claire will have a female college roommate with whom she'll share an onscreen kiss
  • Lost Planet 2 (a video game) sounds a lot different than Lost Planet (also a video game), which I quite enjoyed; LP2 has a 4-person coop mode that sounds very interesting
All in all, not that impressive a lineup of announcements, once you get past that initial (large) one.
