    Below the spoiler is the one page Fables tale they've always done, although this one actually foreshadow's the future of the series (kind of sad too):
    fables-sdcc09rev.jpg


    And this picture freaks me out for some reason:

    fraction-vision.jpg

    There was a kid in the audience at the Dark Reign panel and they let him come on stage and sit with the panel. I think what freaks me out about it is that there is a kid who likes Vision to the point he would dress up as him. Cap, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Wolverine, Hulk, Spidey, yes; but Vision?

    As good as some of the stories are in Fables, let's not have any illusions about the dialogue. It's stilted 100% of the time, and if it didn't have pretty good art and a solid story behind it, it would be a big deal. But when the story hits a lull, like it did in the last trade, it's really tough to read.

    War and Pieces was a lull, or did they release the arc that was after it already?

    War and Pieces was a lull, at least for me. And it was definitely not as good as the Good Prince.

    Scott Pilgrim the Video Game

    Described by Ubisoft as a side scrolling beat 'em up.

    I don't know if I'd describe the dialogue as stilted - I'd definitely say it's stylized, but I think it fits with what the characters 'should' sound like. Similar to how Miller wrote some of the early Sin City stuff (before he went completely off the rails). I agree that the Willingham/Bucky team is what makes the book work, though - it's not the same book when there's a different artist.

    The Mike Alred issues are always a treat (and #76 is an Alred epilogue story that was quite good).

    Scott Pilgrim is the best comic book released in any year that a Scott Pilgrim book is released.

    Not according to the Eisners. I'm pretty sure most people who can stand a Punch:Word ratio that is lower than 1 wouldn't mind it at least.

    Maybe he's a Young Avengers fan. Vision is a central character in those.

    The Avengers cartoon show was only on for a season, but I see the TV show on pretty regularly (I think it comes on Disney) and the Vision was the main character in that. Maybe the kid watches the show.

    I remember seeing commercials for it but I never watched it. Is that the one that doesn't have Captain America in it (it was Hawkeye and Tigra and others, right)?

    Yeah... Hawkeye, Tigra, Wonderman, Vision, and for some reason, the Falcon. I can't remember who else was in it. Cap showed up in one or two episodes. It's been a long time since I actually sat through an episode. I think Pym was there, too.

    Here is the teaser for Robinson's JLA lineup:

    jlapinup_sol-02.jpg


    So you have Donna, Mon-EL (neat costume change), Dick, Hal, and who else?

    It looks like Starfire in the middle right rear, and Congorilla in the top left. I think that may be Vixen in the bottom left.

    Dan Didio said Vixen's staying on the team in his Comic-Con 20 questions, so I'd say that is her.

    Mon-El is actually his alias name that Superman gave him, and that's the symbol for the house of El.

    And let's face it, if one of the world's biggest heroes gave you permission to use his symbol, you would wouldn't you?

    Also the most interesting thing about those Eisners is finding out there's a hardcover reprint of Sam and Max - Surfing the Highway!

    I saw him at HeroesCon this year and I pretty much thought the same thing.
    Much too hip and disinterested to be writing comics. Of course he could have just looked disinterested because he was sitting next to Bendis who was passing around a giant box of cookies to the people in his book signing line.

    Best Continuing Series

    * All Star Superman. by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely (DC)

    Maybe I'm not understanding the rules of the Eisners, but I was pretty sure that All Star Superman was a limited series.

    They probably consider a limited series as "contains X issues" and a continuing series as "contains more than X issues".

    Aren't they doing a few more All-Star Superman issues anyways? I mean, sort of just 1-off issues (maybe before the whole series started, since they couldn't really do any after it ended).

    Is Red Arrow still on the JLA?

    Because Green Arrow is on the Cry for Justice Team.

    I also have a feeling we'll be getting Captain Marvel (Jr.) on the team, as well, but I haven't studied the promo too heavily as of yet.

    Edit: Didio has said we'll see much more of Ollie in the comic year as a major DCU player, and he's also said that JLA will become the most important DC book once again after Robinson takes over, leading into next year's big event. So it's pretty safe to assume it's Ollie, especially since Wiki says Red Arrow has left the team.
