These are some of the news bits from NYCC that got me most excited so far:
- Matt Fraction is writing a Secret Invasion: Thor spin-off. “It’s sort of like ‘300’ re-imagined with a half dozen Asgardian Gods standing against an onslaught of Skrulls.”
- Deadpool gets a new ongoing, written by Daniel Way
- Mark Waid will write an arc for Amazing Spiderman, focusing on J. Jonah Jameson
- It seems like Marvel Apes is really happening
- Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker will create a Marvel MAX miniseries about Destroyer, the first character Stan Lee ever created
- Robbie Baldwin will lose the emo and return to being Speedball
- There’ll be a new Power Girl ongoing, written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti and (this is the exciting part) drawn by Amanda Conner
- Air, a new series by the creative team behind the Cairo OGN, G. Wilson Willow and M.K. Perker, reminds me a bit of Natacha
- Greatest Hits by David Tischman and Glenn Fabry will be a superhero series for Vertigo which tells the story of a director who’s making a documentary about the greatest superhero team of all time, a Beatles-like team called The Mate

- There’s two other Vertigo titles coming from Morrison: War Cop is a sci-fi book set five years in future, it will tell of soldier back from a war who wants to keep fighting a war.
