DC is hosting a New 52 panel each and every day of the show. I half expect each session to be much of the same, but because of room size, and the fact that nearly everyone is talking about it, there might be a few nuggets of new information each day. We’ve scoured the Intardwebz, and here’s what we know so far…
During the Marvel Digital: What’s Next panel, Marvel dropped the big one that I was half expecting to come about a month ago – it will release it’s major titles digitally on the same day the books arrive in stores.

If you are lined up for Hall H expecting a surprise The Hobbit appearance by Peter Jackson, you might as well give up your spot to some Twilight Fan right now, as Jackson says no to a Comic-Con appearance. Good news and bad news today. Bad news is that we won’t be doing any Hobbit presentation at Comic Con in San Diego this year. New Line and Warner Bros were very happy to support a presentation, but I declined, simply because I felt it was too early. There’s so much more of the films still to shoot. I just wanted…
Though I’m patiently waiting for LEGO to send over some high-res images of their upcoming LEGO SUPER HERO line, The Source, actually posted a pic that not only includes Batman (whom we’ve seen before in LEGO form), but also Superman and Green Lantern – SWEET! There are a couple of interesting things about the above image; first – Green Lantern’s costume is the movie version of the suit. Second – Superman STILL has red trunks.
