C2E2 Blows Into Chicago This Weekend


C2E2 begins tomorrow and Chicago will never be the same!

Okay, that might be a bit of hyperbole, but hey, we comic fans have long been accustomed to hyperbolic statements. So what can we expect? Some big announcements and unexpected news I hope. C2E2 is the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo and is a precursor to summer’s big daddy comic con. Comic book creators and publishers are descending upon the windy city to meet with fans, hype their goods, and walk amongst a sea of cosplayers.

There is no end to the talent appearing: Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man), Paul Cornell(Action Comics), Garth Ennis (The Boys), Jeph Loeb (Hulk), Gail Simone (The Secret Six), Scott Snyder (American Vampire), Mark Waid (Irredeemable) and Terry Moore (Echo) to name a few. With about a month and a half to go before the big opening, Chris Hemsworth  will also appear to get the Thor promotion train underway.

Marvel teased this week that the creative teams for the Daredevil and Punisher re-launches would be announced at Joe Quesada’s Cup ‘o Joe panel—unfortunately, it looks as though Bleeding Cool has spilled the beans early. Ah well, there are sure to be more announcements to jump start our anticipation for the next big thing.
