Bryan Singer's "Ultimate X-Men" arc is back on, in conjunction with Marc Andreyko. Look for an announcement soon.
A production decision in "Fantastic Four 2" to increase Jessica Alba's prominence as The Invisible Woman, led to the entire script being rewritten. Look for her to take a key role in most scenes - mostly at the expense of Michael Chiklis' Thing.
What do you call an African-American Secretary Of Defence in the Marvel Universe?
Apparently, you call him Jack Kooning.
Professional Alan Moore interviewer, stand up comedian and writer/director of "Jerry Springer The Opera," Stewart Lee has written a script for a BBC2 sitcom plot being made about Thor. Not the Marvel Thor obviously, but considering Stewart Lee has at one point performed a stand up act around Peter David's run on "Incredible Hulk," expect a nod or two in that direction. Thor will be played by comedian Tony Law.
It’s been too long since legendary/infamous creator John Byrne was mentioned within the sack. As usual, it’s something not all that positive. The John Byrne Forums relayed the following information… I’ve modified it a bit in order to protect the innocent.
[Name Withheld for Now] hired Byrne to draw an entire comic for him of his own creation. [Withheld] owns a mining company and is relatively wealthy, which is all well and good, but the despicable part is that Byrne is charging [Withheld] $1000 per page. $22,000 for the entire issue. Pencils only.
[Withheld] was going to donate the money to a charity (HERO or the CLBDF), but Byrne convinced him to spend the money on this commission and overcharged him (industry rates are $500 per page). Byrne really took advantage of the situation and shafted a charity, too.
The DC Nation panel NYCC where all sorts of things were covered, like Countdown, Black Adam versus the world at the end of 52 and in the tie-in World War III, expect him to be more pain for him before WW3 begins, the mention that Oliver Queen will propose to Black Canary in the final issue (#75) of the Green Arrow series— on the last page, then there will be a follow up mini-series to that by Tony Bedard and Paulo Siquera, the Monitors appearing in Countdown, Dan Didio warning that Superboy Prime will be around, plans for a Power Girl series (can’t wait to see the art)
It looks like writer Mike Carey is “definitely” doing a Beast: Mythos one-shot for Marvel, which will re-tell the origins of Hank McCoy. Here is an excerpt from him from his site on this:
The Beast book is definitely happening, but it will probably be in the second half of this year. I’m starting to see the art come through now, and man, it’s gorgeous. The first page will break your heart.
Though this project was announced months ago, not much has been mentioned on it. It’s nice to see Carey talking about it and other things with his fans. Another bit I saw was a reminder that Adi Granov will be doing a Colossus Mythos book. Just thought I’d mention it in case you were unaware.
