At the Diamond Retailer lunch today at San Diego Comic-Con we got some new looks and some new news. Including a brand new character, Hallow's Eve, being launched by Marvel comic sometime soonish.

That's it. Hallow's Eve, with art by Ed McGuinness. Odds are she will appear in a Marvel comic book title towards the end of October., But that's your lot.

All Hallow's Eve is the classic Christian name for what is now Hallowe'en, Presumably, the main character is called Eve, and I don't know, she comes from the town of Hallow? That's the kind of name that American towns get, isn't it? She does, however, appear to be rocking an image not too dissimilar from the Spider-Man villain Hobgoblin. Hey, she couldn't;t be part of this Dark Web thing, could she?

Okay lads and lassies, chaps and chapesses, get down and dirty with this. Today sees the return of the Diamond Retailer Lunch at San Diego Comic-Con, the likes of which we have not seen since 2019. I mean, comic bookshop retailers have certainly had lunch in that period, but not on Diamond Comic Distributors' dime and not at San Diego. In that period, they have also lost a number of publishers such as DC Comics and IDW, though Marvel is very kindly sticking around. No sign of Dark Horse, Image, Dynamite though, as well as Marvel it's just AfterShock, Valiant and Boom Studios sponsoring this. It appears that Bleeding Cool are the only press who have turned up, with Jimmy Leszczynski and his son, Jimmy Leszczynski. Let's see what they all have to say… and you can read all about it by following the Bleeding Cool Diamond Retailer Lunch tag. Stay tuned!
