There have been a fair few announcements made at the Fan Expo in Toronto, the first being that former DC exclusive writer (best known for his work on Vertigo titles DMZ and Northlanders) has signed up with Marvel for what appears to be some sort of Wolverine related project. Also announced, much to the delight of of the Canadian fans in attendance, was that Alpha Flight has been upgraded to an ongoing series. Originally slated to be an 8 issue mini, the current creative team of co-writers Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente plus artist Dale Eaglesham will stay on the series.

Remember the somewhat mysterious "DESTROY" teaser released by Marvel last week? Well, 'The Pint O' C.B.' panel revealed exactly what that is. Written by Fred Van Lente, with art by Kyle Hotz, it'll be a five-issue miniseries titled Destroyers this September, starring The Thing, She-Hulk, Karkas, A-Bomb, The Beast and Devil Dinosaur. Apparently, Van Lente revealed during the panel that, "We find out what really killed the dinosaurs, and they're coming back for us." Many thanks to Newsarama for all of the above information.

Yeah, that Destroyers series sounds pretty awful, and that's coming from someone who actually really likes Fred Van Lente's work, lol. No interest in Alpha Flight, but Brian Wood's Marvel debut should be interesting..!

The Destroyers have got the Beast and since I haven't seen him out of an X-Men series in ages, I, with a bit of hesitation of wasting my money on a terrible comic, will quite frankly pick this up.

DESTROYERS HELL YEAH! All you guys that hate on the Destroyers are retarded. Devilsaur needs more love and I like the She-Hulk and Beast brainy/beefy combo. If it is written and illistrated well then there is no probs here at all.

Karkas?? Really? They are scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one. If he is not absolutely iatrical to the plot..why would you include such an old bizarre dated character
