The Quarter Bin

Even more MARVEL action coming from Philadelphia today. Join us as we sit in on Cup of Joe with Tom Breevort, Joe Quesada, Fred Van Lente, and CB Cebulski.

- MARVEL ZOMBIES 3 by Van Lente and Kev Walker. The zombies invade the 616 Marvel Universe this September in an in-continuity tale.

- Steven King’s THE STAND comes this September. Robert Aguirre-Sacasa and Mike Perkins will adapt the novel this fall.

- There’s also a new DEVIL SLAYER book in the works.

- September sees Lady Bullseye hit Ed Brubaker’s DAREDEVIL in what Joe called Ed’s opus.

Panel is opened to questions.

- When is Steve Rogers coming back? How do you know he isn’t back already?

- Any plans to adapt CIVIL WAR into an animated film or game? Joe could see it happening, but doesn’t know of any plans at this moment.

- Adrian Alphona is taking a break from comics at the moment, and that’s why he’s not doing SPIDER-MAN LOVES MARY JANE. The door is always open for him to come back.

- The script is done for HALO UPRISING #4, so expect that to come out soon.

- All but the last script are in for ULTIMATE HULK vs WOLVERINE. Even if all the scripts were done, Lenil is a bit busy right now.

- Will there be an ULTIMATE book canceled in the wake of ULTIMATUM? Not as far as Joe knows. A book getting canceled means it’s selling below a certain point, and none of those books are bad sellers.

- Who won during World War Hulk: Sentry or the Hulk? Looked kinda like a tie to us.

- How secure is the future of SPIDER-GIRL? Pretty good.

- “We have not changed the history of Peter and Mary Jane with the exception of one thing: they didn’t get married.” Something very crucial happened on this day that changed the future. Again, Quesada emphasized that the readers don’t know how much time elapsed from the end of One More Day to Brand New Day.

- Are MARVEL and DC going to be arch-rivals for all eternity? Joe: “There’s Coke and there’s Pepsi. There’s name brand and then there’s generic.”

- A fan questioned whether or not Aunt May would find out Jarvis was a Skrull? Breevort: “If Aunt May ends up a month late…”

- Zemo will turn up somewhere we least expect him.

- Any plans to expand the Ultimate Universe? Joe stated they wanted to keep it small and keep it simple. He doesn’t want to lose the “lightning in bottle” he feels they’ve captured.

- Whatever happened to the previously announced Punisher one-shot from Marc Guggenheim and Lenil Yu? We can expect that book sometime after Lenil finishes all his previous commitments.

- THE STAND adaptation will be faithful to the original book.

- Any more Art Adams work at MARVEL? Issues 7,8 and 9 of HULK will have interiors from Art and Frank Cho.

- Will INCREDIBLE HERCULES return to INCREDIBLE HULK and will Hercules ever get his own series? A little too soon to say anything.

- No plans to do a Director’s Cut edition of 1985 showing the original photo style.

- Will we find out if Steven Colbert wins the presidency? Yeah, stay tuned.

- Out of all the MARVEL Universe, why is Iron Man such a douchebag? If being a douchebag gets you facetime, I’m all for it.

- Wait and see if there’s any plans for the female Bucky introduced in the Heroes Reborn stories.

- When can we expect Jeph Loeb and J. Scott Campbell’s Spider-Man book? No rush to get it out, and we’d rather have it ship on time.

- The supermarket is not a feasible place to sell comics as it costs so much to put your comics in the stores.

- SPIDER-MAN FAMILY is being re-branded AMAZING SPIDER-MAN FAMILY.
