Wizard World Boston - Greg Johnson, writer of the Ultimate Avengers animated movies, will be a guest at Wizard World Boston in two weeks. According to the convention’s web site, the second poster for the film will be Iron Man.
August Sales Numbers - DC Comics’ Justice #1 was the top-selling book and Marvel Comics was the top publisher for August, according to sales figures released by Diamond on Friday. Rounding out the top 10 books were New Avengers #8, New Avengers #9, House of M #5, Astonishing X-Men #12, Supergirl #1, Green Lantern #3, Green Lantern #4, OMAC Project #5 and JLA #117.
Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk Writer Announced - Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof was named as the writer of the December-debuting Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk, a six issue miniseries for Marvel. I am really looking forward to this. I didn’t like the Ultimate X-men book but I really dig the Ultimates. I think this will be big.
Late Shippers - According to Diamond, DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy #4, Justice League Unlimited: Jam-Packed Action TP, Superman/Batman #22, Rann/Thanagar War #6 and Seven Soldiers: Zatanna #4 have all been delayed for DC. Marvel Masterworks: Capt. Marvel Vol. 1 HC New/Var. Ed., Young Avengers #7, Marvel Masterworks: Golden Age Human Torch Vol. 1 HC New/Var. Ed., Mary Jane Vol. 2: Homecoming Digest, Essential Spider-Man Vol. 7 and Powers #14 are all shipping late for Marvel, but the worst news is that Secret War: Book Five will be pushed back 2 months from 10/12/05 to 12/14/05. I WAS really looking forward to that one especially since they have kept readers in the dark and guessing for all four issues so far.
