Below is my take on the ten best stories to come out of this year Comic Con, so be sure to click on each of the links to check out the various reports, trailer and pictures in full. Anything I missed? Well, don't forget to share your thoughts below! Remember, you can find ALL of CBM's SDCC '11 coverage by clicking HERE and browsing through the various categories to see which of your favourite comic book characters were featured at the event.
10. First Look At The Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D Agents' Uniforms! The Avengers may not have had the biggest of presences at the event this year, but we did get what is apparently our first glimpse of how the S.H.I.E.L.D agents will look in the upcoming movie. A faithful, yet realistic interpretation of the comic book uniforms, this is one more thing Joss Whedon has now put fans minds at ease with. Now, how about telling us who the villains are, eh?
9. The Walking Dead Panel Highlights; Four Minute Trailer Released! AMC blew us all away with the trailer for season one of
The Walking Dead at last years San Diego Comic Con, and didn't fail to deliver this year either. While we only get a very brief glimpse of Hershel and Maggie on the farm (well known to fans of Robert Kirkman's comic book series) there are enough intriguing plot hints and terrifying zombie action to get us all psyched for October 13th!
8. Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance Updates, Tagline Revealed I'm not sure about you guys, but I was most definitely not looking forward to
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance with all the great comic book movies coming out in 2012. However, judging from what we learned at this panel, it may just end up being a fun way to kick off the year next February!
7. Marvel Studios Have Regained Rights To Blade; Clip From Agent Coulson Short Shown! Last year, it was revealed that Marvel Studios had regained the rights to
The Punisher. This year, Marvel's Chief Creative Officer let slip that the company also have
Blade back in their midst. While there's no immediate plans to get these characters on the big screen, the more they have the better, and we can at least look forward to more fantastic adaptations at some point in the near future.
6. Highlights From Amazing Spider-Man Panel; Description Of New Footage And LIZARD! We've heard quite a bit from stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, but this was finally a chance to get some info from director Marc Webb. While there was nothing TOO revealing let slip on the panel, it was the detailed footage descriptions which proved most interesting. Including the first details on the appearance of the Lizard, we now have a much better idea of the tone and humor in the upcoming movie, as well as much more.
5. Official Teaser Poster For The Avengers Hits With An Official Site Update! Yeah, it's not exactly the most exciting of posters, but these teasers rarely are! While I'm sure most of us were hoping for an ensemble picture of the cast, wasn't it good to finally get an OFFICIAL poster after putting up with months and months of fan made efforts? Between this and the launch of the website, May 4th 2012 is getting closer and closer, with the next few months guaranteed to bring more great news, photos, posters and trailers!
4. Hugh Jackman Confirms The Villain For Wolverine 2 Since
X-Men: First Class, many have regained faith in Fox, and
The Wolverine is shaping up to be another crowd pleaser with fans. With filming set to begin in October, the news that Silver Samurai would be the main villain has been met with great approval, with anticipation at an all time high despite the departure of Darren Aronofsky as director.
3. The Avengers Assemble In Seven Stunning Character Posters! -Captain America
-Iron Man
-Thor
-Hawkeye
-Black Widow
-Hulk
-Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D "Avengers Assemble!" 'Nuff Said. :)
2. New Details On Hulk TV Series; Luke Cage & Carol Danvers Confirmed To Be In Jessica Jones TV Show! Finally! While we'd already heard rumblings about some of these small screen projects, Marvel's Head of Television Jeph Loeb finally confirmed plans for
A.K.A Jessica Jones,
Cloak & Dagger and
Hulk. The biggest surprise?
Mockingbird! Four very different TV shows on the way from the comic book company, with the news that the first would also feature Luke Cage and Carol Danvers a huge bonus!
1. First (Low-Res) Look At 'The Lizard' From The Amazing Spider-Man! As soon as descriptions of the Lizard hit, there was a mixed reaction from fans. Sounding like a scalier version of
The Incredible Hulk's Abomination, many were concerned we'd not be getting anywhere a faithful version of the iconic Stan Lee and Steve Ditko creation. And then these low-res pictures hit, and how freaking awesome does he look? We won't be able to tell for definite until we get some decent shots, but it looks like this is yet another part of
The Amazing Spider-Man that director Marc Webb has nailed.
