Guardians, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, And Legacy At The Marvel Next Big Thing Panel At C2E2

As it turns out, however, that's neither the correct description nor an accurate guest list. Luckily, Bleeding Cool has Ace Reporter Jeffrey Herron on the scene, and he'll be sending us live updates from behind enemy lines. Keep refreshing the page for more.
