During today’s Marvel Fanfare Panel at New York Comic-Con, Marvel Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski clarified recent reports about legendary comic book creator John Byrne returning to Marvel. Earlier this year, Byrne began work on a new comic project called X-Men: Elsewhen, which marked his unofficial return to the X-characters the he helped define. After several pages were released online, Byrne revealed that Cebulski had emailed him to discuss Elsewhen and Byrne’s potential return to Marvel. “That was more of me being a fan and saying hello,” Cebulski said during the panel’s Q&A session. “We haven’t really discussed anything formally. I just wanted to let John know the opportunity for discussion is open.” RELATED: John Byrne Has Had Talks About Returning to Marvel Along with writer Chris Claremont, Byrne was responsible for iconic X-Men tales like “Days of Future Past” and the “Dark Pho

Last month, directors Joe and Anthony Russo shared a behind-the-scenes photo urging fans to “look hard” for clues about Avengers 4. While eagle-eyed fans found four instances of the letter “A” in the photo, we were no closer to learning what the official title of the fourth Avengers film is going to be. However, a new rumor suggests the Avengers 4 title will once again come from a Marvel comic event series: Avengers: Annihilation.

Marvel Studios has reportedly developed and completed a script based on Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato Jr.’s Dark Avengers team. The news comes from That Hashtag Show, which reports a script for Dark Avengers was completed, though it does not make mention of who wrote the script. The site also claims the film could end up not getting produced, as Marvel Studios has scripts for a variety of other projects, many of which never see release. Still, the fact that Marvel Studios commissioned the script in the first place could indicate a desire to bring the team into the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point in the future.

A tradition of over a decade, Marvel Comics Cup O Joe panel is often an opportunity for Joe Quesada to take on anything and everything readers want to know about the House of Ideas. But at the 2018 New York Comic Con, the company’s Chief Creative Officer had a different track as he prepared to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Marvel Knights line – the imprint that launched his Marvel editorial career even before his time as Editor-in-Chief. Quesada arrived for Friday’s Cup O Joe panel accompanied by a lineup of Marvel Knights creators past including longtime collaborator and writer Jimmy Palmiotti, Punisher writer Tom Sniegoski and Black Panther writer Christopher Priest. In the crowd, more members of the Marvel executive team including Editor-in-Chief CB Cebulski and SVP of Publishing Tom Brevoort circulated.

The final panel of a busy Friday at the 2018 for DC Comics was a massive affair in the cons biggest room. But the DC All Stars panel worked to provide star power to match the space as a big lineup of big names appeared to tell their personal stories of comics history. “It’s not really DC All Stars panel. It’s comic book All Stars,” DiDio said, promising the fans that the talent lineup on stage would come out to share their stories on how they came to comics and made a life out of it. Joining the Publisher on stage were a lineup that DiDio gave slightly notorious intros of their earliest work including Jock (former Magic The Gathering artist), Tom King (Valiant fan fiction writer), Jimmy Palmiotti (starting at Malibu Comics), Amanda Conner (Barbie comics), Brian Michael Bendis (“toiling in obscurity for 20 years at some minor company”), Sean Murphy (the “very aggressive” Punk Rock Jesus) and Scott Snyder (w

Cebulski said in a trailer for the event at NYCC. “But now, Peter’s taken a backseat, and Miles is taken front and center to this.

At Friday’s Marvel Comics: Spider-Man panel at New York Comic-Con, the recent fate of one of the comic’s cast members was addressed, as well as the potential future of another.

Set to launch in 2019, this new series written by Tom Taylor (X-Men Red, Injustice) with art by Juann Cabal (All-New Wolverine, X-23) will revolve around Peter Parker as he is faced with the age-old problem of having to balance his superhero life with his personal one.

Tom King is a renowned and fan-favorite writer that has written many modern comic book classics such as Marvel’s The Vision, Vertigo’s The Sheriff of Babylon, DC’s The Omega Men and, currently, Batman. Ever since the DC Rebirth relaunch in 2016, King has been at the helm of the title, guiding the Dark Knight on a journey that examines both his strengths and his weaknesses, as a superhero and a man alike. Over the summer, the series reached a milestone with its 50th issue, which is said to be roughly the halfway point of the writer’s run on the world’s greatest detective. We may have only seen half of King’s long term plans so far, but already we might have a hint as to how the run will conclude.

Issue #7 ended with a band of dolphins effectively cutting off the water supply to Wintermute’s followers. The preview art hints at the repercussions for those actions. The preview art sees all manner of nightmares coming to fruition. Not only has Wintermute seemingly turned a corner when it comes to brokering peace based on the idea of equality, but the war drums are beating loudly.
