The last 3~4 years of big events at DC has left me turned off by their product so I didn't even bother to follow along with their panel notes. The Marvel stuff was decent (Astonishing and Amazing creative teams, Guggenheim (yay!), Jimenez, Butch guice (double yay!) exclusives) but still nothing earth shattering. Should we expect better stuff at WW Chicago in a couple of weeks? Yep - I think that the news coming out of San Diego for the last couple of years has been very boring for comic book fans.

I do not look forward to buying Amazing Spider-Man three times in one month. And the new X-Men team led by Wolverine. Wow. Nothing to get excited about. Underwhelming yes.

What'd we get that was really that exciting, in terms of news? The creative teams for Spider-Man. DC publishing the Heroes HC (not that exciting, but still sort of a big deal). Final Crisis by Morrison and Jones. Was there anything else? Anything I'm missing? Then again, what was the big news last year? I can't even remember at this point.
