These were some of the rumours we ran before New York Comic Con – compared with what was actually announced at or around the show. There were a number of female-focused comic books announced by Marvel, including Erica Henderson on Squirrel Girl who we had mentioned earlier – but not those on the checklist. Not yet, anyway. DC were hardly interested in announcing anything… As for other stories, Spider-Gwen gets her own series but she's not taking over Peter Parker in Amazing Spider-Man. And Wolverines #1 might be a way towards a Sabretooth Wolverine or an X-23 Wolverine but it's not set in stone. And there was no peek at the Anders-like Longshot….
Of course, the Fantastic Four news made up for a lot of that. And Nicole Perlman on Guardians wasn't bad either…
