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):
And this picture freaks me out for some reason:
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.

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).

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:
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.
matt fraction doesn't seem fat and/or bald enough to write comics
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.
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).
Whatever that Megan Fox movie is, I look forward to seeing it because I am really tired of all the serial killers/monsters in horror movies being or looking male.
I'm pretty sure i see a quiver and some arrows, so either green or red arrow in that JLA picture. Middle Left.
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.

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

I literally just gasped. This will be the greatest thing ever.

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.

Also more Hal? Uggggg.
Looks like the person in the middle is on fire?
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.
Also the most interesting thing about those Eisners is finding out there's a hardcover reprint of Sam and Max - Surfing the Highway!

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

THAT MOVIE NEVER HAPPENED!
Not like "Oh, it's not so bad"
I love that movie (Bad Boys 2, too)
