There hasn't been much real news. Not relevant to my tastes, there's going to be new Sandman series by Neil Gaiman. Very relevant to my tastes, Duane Swierczynski (who writes the New 52 Birds of Prey) and Nelson Daniel are doing the IDW Judge Dredd. But SDCC is hardly about comics ...
Yeah saw that in the new xbox mag yesterday.. will be very interested.
Eager by the comment that every ones favourites will be available either in game or by DLC. Thats a lot of characters to cover, even if they just mean those who have comic titles.

Only a 6-issue limited series, sadly. I anticipate that it will be the prequel he supposedly pitched for the 20th anniversary, only for DC to turn him down. Whatever it is, I trust it will not disappoint.

Limited series is best series! It's been years since I spent money on comic books. Having a limit to it is ideal.

I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.

And here's the writer of the only decent episode of Doctor Who last year to explain (or, more accurately, to drop vague hints) in his own words. I'd lay good odds that the title will in fact be A Handful of Dust.
Of course, since I don't understand all this newfangled embedding Youtube sorcery, you might as well go to his journal instead.

The girlfriend and I were just arguing over whether it was a quotation from Eliot or Evelyn Waugh. Needles to say say I was right (Waugh's Handful of Dust is presumably itself referential of Eliot.).
Not uncoincidentally, it was also the tagline Gaiman used to accompany The Sandman's initial promotion.

Correct -- although the title was actually forced on him.
I really don't like Deadpool nowadays. Comics are too influenced by internet culture, which is to say anti-culture. I really enjoyed War for Cybertron and am immensely looking forward to Fall of Cybertron so it is hard to wish harm on High Moon. But any repudiation of a Deadpool that says "internets" is welcome.
I'm also pretty disturbed by the voice-over for the Man of Steel teaser trailer: "What if a child dreamed of becoming something other than what society intended? What if a child aspired to something greater?" Superman versus society? Looks like Clark is the special snowflake that all of our moms saw in us. Oh man, I hope we see better stuff soon. Snyder has the correct attitude toward the business landscape with this franchise, however:
Of the possibility that Warner Bros. could go the route of Marvel Studios, using "Man of Steel" to branch out into a Superman/Batman film or to enter the Justice League (an idea that thrilled the crowd), Snyder maintained an air of mystery. "We know that Superman is the jewel in the DC crown," he said, "and really what we're trying to do is get his house in order. And then who knows what's possible."

Deadpool has a... troubled history. His current stories from Daniel Way is what got me (back) into the character. It's funny, but he's completly insane i those, while his classic version is more of a troubled soul with deep emotional scarring.
... as near as I recall, as it is now Tim goes straight from being Tim Drake to being Red Robin in that there was no official period of time where he was Robin. We keep most of the origin in tact in that he was one of the few people who could get very close to learning who Bruce is...but it will be a much updated version of his origin.
Comic reactionaries everywhere will vomit blood over this, like Atrocitus (or his cat), but I like it. I fear that I have come to trust Scott Lobdell.

An annual is just an issue of a comic that is outside of the usual numbering scheme. It usually fits in with the current storyline and is often used as a means to deal with cross-title events. So, the Teen Titans annual had to do with the Culling crossover.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

I liked some of this, but the fact that the working man's superhero doesn't know
how to wash his clothes in a coin laundry is something of a let-down. I'm referring
to the part where he goes in and puts his clothes in the dryer first.
