Comic News: Marvel Siege, DC Resurrections, the Worst @#$%ing Idea Ever



? The Diamond Retailers’ Summit was held last night in Baltimore, and among the things that leaked out more than got announced was this trailer for Marvel’s next big event, Siege. The trailer doesn’t really explain anything, which is why I imagine Marvel hasn’t pulled down the video yet, and I assume the last image is purposefully misleading or there’s going to be a lot of annoyed nerds.

? I didn’t realize that DC’s Blackest Night event was carrying on into 2010, but apparently there will be no Blackest Night comics in January, and instead, DC will “resurrect” eight different titles for the month including Shazam, Starman, The Question, Suicide Squad, and more. I think it’s a fun idea, but if you’re a hardcore fan of those titles, I imagine you just feel pissed. (Via Newsarama)

? Now, for the news that made me do a spit-take even though I wasn’t drinking anything — Marvel is letting Jeph Loeb return to Ultimates. Yes, after penning the worst comic of the last two decades in Ultimates 3, Jeph Loeb is going to be writing New Ultimates beginning in February. Now, this might be old news to some folks, but I’m just astounded. Why the fuck is Marvel letting him do this? Does Loeb have pictures of Quesada fucking a raccoon or something? Why else on god’s green earth would they let him continue shitting all over their formerly interesting Ultimate Universe? (Via Comic Book Resources)
