DC, you are RENEWING MY LOVE!
Jul. 22nd, 2006 10:56 pmMany wonderful wonderful things from DC's San Diego ComicCon Panel!
Highlights, from my perspective:
As the creators ran down the lists of their current work, Paul Dini announced that he is working on a Black Canary/Zatanna hardcover graphic novel, with art by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti.
The FISHNETS teamup! With Dini and Connor, who can do cheesecake WELL!
Paul Levitz stood to make an announcement, and spoke about a new strategy for DC to move into direct-to-video animation. [...] The first title will be the previously-leaked animated film version of Darwyn Cooke's The New Frontier. Cooke will work with Stan (JLU) Berkowitz on the film, with Cooke providing key art direction.
No further comment needed. WOOHOO!
Getting back to comics, given that Geoff Johns is from Detroit, and Brad Meltzer and Winick went to University of Michigan, a fan asked if there was a chance of the Detroit JLA coming back, Johns said that was his favorite League growing up, but didn't get Vibe. Meltzer noted that he did make sure to include Vibe in JLofA #0.
Geoff, you are ADORABLE sometimes. Questionable, but adorable.
DiDio asked everyone on the panel to reveal one secret thing from all of their books.
Morrison: The secret origin of Bat-Mite.
*awaits the scary crack!*
In speaking about his Batman run and reasons why a reader should pick it up, Morrison said that he's going to be looking reasons why the characters like Batman.
"And Bruce Wayne naked."
Thumbs up to Morrison for male fanservice!
Again, polling the panelists, DiDio asked which character each creator would want to die or come back to life?
Winick: G'nort. I want him dead.
Johns: G'nort, I'll bring him back.
Dini: I'll kill him again.
Busiek: G’nort's puppies.
FANBOYS, I love you so.
