Thank god for Comic Con and their tons of panels. At least we get to see something new for the upcoming Uncanny X-Force featuring Archangel and Wolverine's wetworks group including Deadpool, Psylocke and Fantomex.

Interesting how Fantomex can use EVA as his personal glider as well as the team's official transport. I suddenly wanted to read Grant Morrison's New X-Men stuff for more on Fantomex...

It was announced in Comic Con that a new video game based on the upcoming Green Lantern movie will be on it's way to consoles soon. The game is officially entitled Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters.


Here's the official press release:

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters an action-adventure title that will be available in conjunction with Warner Bros.

Interactive Entertainment. “The game is the first to center around DC Comics’ Green Lantern franchise and we’re excited to give fans the opportunity to experience the power of the ring with engaging gameplay.”

Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is in development for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii by Double Helix Games and for Nintendo DS by Griptonite Games.

Jonathan Hickman to take on Ultimate Comics Thor

Jonathan Hickman is continuing to wow us with his choice of titles to work on. Not only are we getting some of the best Fantastic Four books we've seen in recent years, were also seeing exceptional work for his mini SHIELD which delves into Marvel's secret history.

Now we've got exceptional news from SDCC.

Jonathan Hickman will be writing ULTIMATE COMICS THOR


The art chores will be handled by Carlos Pacheco and will delve around the eons of time from Thor and Loki's childhood all the way to the hippie Thor we've seen during Mark Millar's Ultimates to what he has become in Jeph Loeb's New Ultimates book.

(Some wicked redesigns for Loki, who apparently was heavy on BDSM before discovering Armani suits.)

(Im betting this is Volstagg)


(Fandrall)


(Hogun the Grim)

The 4 issue miniseries will also tell the story of the Ragnarok cycle which will involve Nazis.

It really appeals to me that Marvel is starting to cash in on everything related to the Norse god of Thunder and for good measure.
