MARVEL HITS FX CON AND TALKS DARK REIGN

Plenty of goodness came out of this one. Hickman will be writing a Doom one-shot and Fraction is on Emma Frost.

The "Man behind the Door" will be revealed post Dark Avengers/X-Men, when Hickman will be taking control of things.

Rafa Sandoval will be the new Initiative artist starting with #26 and will bring back Dr. Sax and Johnny Guitar.

A one shot with Sentry? "There is something bigger being planned, they revealed. Something bigger than a one-shot, but smaller than an elephant."

X-Men Legacy will keep going with old school mutants.

Finally, on the Hulk, “Who knows,” McCann said, wrapping up the panel, “perhaps we’ll have a battle for the torn purple pants!”

AMERICAN WHAT?

According to signs, something points to "American Son."
