    The music they play before panels is puzzling. Right now it's a Tears for Fears doubleshot. Started with "Shout," now "Everybody Wants to Rule the World."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:24 
    2:24
    Panel should start in around 5.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:24

    5 minutes. Not 5 p.m. That would be too far away.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:27 

    2:36
    Starting up right about now...
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:36 

    2:36
    Marvel marketing's Arune Singh opening things up.

    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:40 

    2:41
    Red Hulk joins the team in Avengers #7.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:41 

    2:41
    Here's a video trailer for it!
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:41 

    2:43
    "The Red Hulk changes everything," ends the Tony Stark narration of the video. The comic is out on Nov. 17.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:43 

    2:43
    The timeline from Avengers #5 is currently on the screen. "As you can see, The Avengers are going to join DC's 52," Bendis joked.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:43 

    2:43
    Bendis described it as Doc Brown's chalkboard from Back to the Future "gone insane."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:43 

    2:45
    Brevoort tells, as he did at yesterday's T&A panel, that Shang-Chi will be playing a central part in the next Secret Avengers arc, and again hinted that the character will likely stick around after the arc wraps.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:45 

    2:46
    Turning to New Avengers, Singh called series artist Stuart Immonen one of the most underrated creators in comics today.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:46 

    2:46
    Bendis is going to reveal Jessica Jones and Luke Cage's superpowered nanny!
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:46 

    2:46
    "We voted as a group, we listened to the voices online," Bendis said.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:46 

    2:47
    "This isn't a joke, by the way," Bendis said. The nanny? Squirrel Girl!
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:47 

    2:47
    "You might say that's nuts," Rosemann punned.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:47 

    2:47
    Bendis said we'll meet all the applicants for the job in the comic.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:47 

    2:48
    Bendis said Matt Fraction came to dinner after writing the Squirrel Girl issue, and that the Thor writer joked they should let the Eisner committee know about the comic now.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:48 

    2:48
    Another announcement: Christos Gage is now Marvel exclusive.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:48 

    2:49
    Gage says that issue #6 of Avengers Academy will focus on Reptil, with a Devil Dinosaur cameo. Hank Pym returns at Giant-Man in issue #7, and he'll fight Absorbing Man. "Just big, giant guys beating the hell out of each other in New York," Gage said.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:49 

    2:53
    Gage said there's going to be a superpowered prom in Avengers Academy. Continuing, he said Giant-Man is the most iconic version of Hank Pym, and stressed that they're not going to do away with any of his recent character development.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:53 

    2:54
    Arcade: Death Game, as it's now titled, starts in February 2011, written by Paul Tobin and featuring Avengers Academy, Young Allies and Spider-Girl.
     
    2:55
    December brings Widow Maker, a limited series crossing over Black Widow with Hawkeye & Mockingbird. "This was originally going to be between the two books, but we have so many things planned, and it's going to shake up so many dynamics and characters, that it's its own event now," McCann said.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:55 
    2:56
    "There's a new Ronin in town, and there are spies everywhere being killed," McCann continued. "There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it." McCann said readers will see the origin of Ronin before Echo got the costume, and a new supervillain group that's behind things.
     
    2:57
    Singh turns to Hickman to talk about Secret Warriors.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:57 
    2:57
    "We're ending at #27," Hickman said, adding that there will be a double-sized 25th issue "revealing all the back story of the Zodiac stuff."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  2:57 

    3:00
    HIckman said that the title has been "admittedly, kind of a slow burn" and Rosemann acknowledged that it's good that Hickman's getting to wrap things up for all of the characters rather than the series just ending.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:00 

    3:00
    Hickman said that S.H.I.E.L.D. is about "whether we accept what's in front of us, or we make our own future."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:00 

    3:01
    Captain America — and his impending trial — was next on the projector. "This is really a point we've been building towards since the moment Bucky put on the Captain America costume," Brevoort said.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:01 

    3:03
    Brevoort said that Sin will take advantage of the trial by using it as an opportunity to launch an attack on the Statue of Liberty.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:03 

    3:03
    Brevoort said March's issue will celebrate the 70th anniversary of Captain America, and it'll come in at around 100 pages.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:03 

    3:03
    "This is a character and a situation that should not work," Brevoort said. "Before Ed [Brubaker] actually did it, we would argue that you should not do it."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:03 

    3:04
    Singh asked the audience if they preferred Bucky or Steve Rogers as Cap. It was about split.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:04 

    3:05
    The previously announced Astonishing Captain America was mentioned — read about that here: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/astonishing-captain-america-andy-diggle-101009.html
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:05 

    3:06
    Thor? Brevoort said the first issue is just the tip of the iceberg.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:06 

    3:07
    "Matt [Fraction] has only just started to plunge into what he's going to do," Brevoort said, adding that like Fraction did with Iron Man, he believes this will be a "quintessential era for Thor."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:07 

    3:07
    Brevoort also said that it's the one title he would point people to for future major Marvel developments.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:07 

    3:08
    Thor: Heaven & Earth, starting in May, was discussed.
       
    3:08
    January 2011? Invincible Iron Man #500.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:08 
    3:08
    (Feel free to do some math to see how that adds up.)
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:08 

    3:08
    The issue guest stars Spider-Man and involves the Mandarin.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:08 

    3:09
    Brevoort said the issue gives a look at what's going to happen in the future "in a very tangible way."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:09 

    3:10
    Bendis said that he knows what's coming up in Iron Man, and it's one of the best ideas one of his friends has ever told him about.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:10 

    3:10
    Announcement time - James Rhodes is starring in Iron Man 2.0, starting in February 2011, by writer Nick Spencer and artist Barry Kitson.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:10 

    3:11
    Brevoort called Spencer the "next superstar writer" and "I don't know why he's wasting his time with this Supergirl nonsense."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:11 

    3:11
    Brevoort said that Rhodes is going to be functioning as, effectively, "Iron Man 2.0," a "bigger, badder" Iron Man.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:11 

    3:12
    Spencer joined the panel. "This is my favorite writer in the world under 5 foot tall," Hickman joked.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:12 

    3:12
    Spencer said "everybody loves Rhodey's armor right now, right? We're going to show you how worthless that armor is."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:12 

    3:13
    Spencer said that being heavily armed, like War Machine has been, "is not how we fight any more." Spencer said Rhodey is going to "use his brain" to fight "asymmetrical warfare"
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:13 

    3:13
    "I would say, if you're loving what Matt is doing on Invincible Iron Man, I want this to feel the same," Spencer said.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:13 

    3:14
    Coming in February 2011 - Onslaught Unleashed, courtesy of Sean McKeever.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:14 

    3:15
    McKeever said Onslaught has waited a "very long time" for his revenge.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:15 

    3:16
    Q&A time!
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:16 

    3:17
    Of Avengers #8, Bendis said it will feature Jessica Jones asking herself, "What kind of superhero is she, what kind of superhero will she be?"
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:17 

    3:17
    Children's Crusade - is the "continuity issue" of Wiccan and Speed's age going to be explained? Brevoort said it's difficult to answer that without a spoiler.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:17 

    3:18
    "Do you ever find yourselves borrowing certain elements from the movies?" Bendis: "Sometimes, yeah. You see Robert Downey Jr.'s interpretion of Iron Man, it's infectious."
     
    3:21
    A Dark Avengers fan asked about the characters. Bendis said that Norman Osborn will be in the upcoming Osborn miniseires, and that Victoria Hand is in New Avengers.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:21 
    3:23
    A fan asked what defines Avengers and New Avengers as different. "This is what the books feel like for this storyline, both books will take a dramatic shift in tone with the next storyline," Bendis said, adding that, like in the original iteration of New Avengers, each arc will have a different feel.
     
    3:26
    Five minutes left!
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:26 
    3:27
    A "huge fan of the Avengers" asked if it's just Red Hulk that will be joining the Avengers. "Bucky's going to be busy with his trial, there's going to be openings," Bendis said. "There's going to be surprises."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:27 

    3:27
    Any chance of a sequel to The Marvels Project?
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:27 

    3:28
    Brevoort said "some of those threads are being picked up right now by Secret Avengers. We're actually talking with Ed about doing an arc in Captain America that's more or less Bucky's entire life story."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:28 

    3:30
    Last question - members of the original Thunderbolts playing a larger role in the Marvel Universe? Brevoort said most of them are in the current Thunderbolts book, and one original member will have a pretty big impact on Avengers coming up. (Albert's note: Well, Zemo has already had a big impact on Avengers member Captain America...)

    A month later and I can't believe I just saw this....... -___-
     
    Personally the main things that caught my eye were:
     

    3:01
    Captain America — and his impending trial — was next on the projector. "This is really a point we've been building towards since the moment Bucky put on the Captain America costume," Brevoort said.
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:01 
     
    This I'm both serious and fearful about....if Bucky isn't Cap any more, I'll be disappointed with Marvel....

    3:27
    A "huge fan of the Avengers" asked if it's just Red Hulk that will be joining the Avengers. "Bucky's going to be busy with his trial, there's going to be openings," Bendis said. "There's going to be surprises."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:27 
     
    Eh...I like the fact that they will acknowledge Bucky's trial in other titles, but still said to see that he will be getting replaced because of it.... -__-
     
    3:28
    Brevoort said "some of those threads are being picked up right now by Secret Avengers. We're actually talking with Ed about doing an arc in Captain America that's more or less Bucky's entire life story."
    Saturday October 9, 2010  3:28 
     
    This reassures me some what, even though it doesn't mean Bucky will still be Captain America, it does mean that Brubaker is far from done with Bucky's story and his character development....and it also gives me hope that he'll still be wearing the flag after his trail :P
     
    3:30

    YES!!! I'm glad to see Marvel's doing more things with Zemo!!!!! ^__^
