While the Heroic Age: Avengers panel was extremely light on announcements this year, Brian Michael Bendis and Joe Quesada did solve one small puzzle for the fans--literally. The back pages of certain Marvel comics have been teasing the arrival of a new Avenger in the ongoing "Avengers" series by Bendis and John Romita, Jr. by way of a word puzzle. After the Powerpoint presentation sped by a little too fast, Bendis finally announced that Red Hulk, better known as General Thunderbolt Ross, father of Betty and antagonist of Bruce Banner, is joining the team.

Red Hulk (also known as Rulk) joins the team as a character in need of redemption, which is obvious considering the past two years of fighting and villainy he's gotten down to, and Bendis is also going to give him a place in the greater Marvel Universe. Bendis made it a point to thank Jeph Loeb and Jeff Parker for the use of the character. Loeb is the co-creator of Red Hulk, of course, and Jeff Parker is the front-runner for the new writer on Hulk, as shown by this post on Robot 6.

As the zombie-loving hordes shuffled out of the first look at AMC's "Walking Dead" at San Diego's Comic-Con earlier today, ComicsAlliance was there to place our fingers on the even metaphorically non-existent pulse surrounding the event.

The consensus? Overwhelmingly positive. If today's clip was any indication, it seems like fans might finally get a good zombie (and a comic book adaptation at that!) show on TV when the series debuts in October.

Next year, a second ongoing series will debut called "Flash: Speed Force;" This series will feature currently absent Flash-related heroes like Wally West, Bart Allen, Jesse Quick, and XS, Bart Allen's cousin and Barry Allen's granddaughter from the future. There were no other details revealed on the panel, other than the fact that Johns is impatient to get to it, as is apropos of a writer for "The Flash;"

"Young Justice" fans got their first clear look at Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment's upcoming animated series today following the "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" panel with a behind-the-scenes video full of new animation.

Featuring YJ producers Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti, the video went far beyond typical teasers, showing off what seems to be completed series footage and providing clear plot information.

A beefy team including Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, Miss Martian, Artemis (previously believed to be Arrowette) and even Speedy/Red Arrow are slated to star in the first season. Unlike the YJ comic, however, the teens will act directly under a very present Justice League in a world where Superman has only been around for about ten years.

The producers also hinted at the edgy nature of the show, promising dangerous situations and at least one death in the first season.

Most casual comic fans are stoked about DC/Warner Bros. upcoming "Green Lantern" feature film, but the hardcore fans are already looking forward to the merchandise -- in other words, when are we getting action figures, assorted gear and, the mother of all tie-ins, the video game?

Well, the wait -- and it was certainly a short one at that -- is over, Lantern fans, as DC and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have announced the first ever Green Lantern video game, "Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters."

Inspired by the upcoming film staring that dreamy Ryan Reynolds fella, players will wield the Green Lantern Power Ring as Hal Jordan (looks like you're stuck with "Batman: The Brave and the Bold," Guy Gardner fans) and take flight across the universe, battling against horrible alien menaces while restoring order to farthest reaches of space.

Produced by Double Helix, "Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters" is set to hit all major consoles and the Nintendo DS next summer, most likely coinciding with the feature film and hot summer days where all anyone wants to do is stay inside an air conditioned room and mash buttons.

When Sega announced its "Thor" movie video game earlier this week, we could only guess as to what the game would look like. Now, with a new teaser trailer and a barrage of concept art hanging out at Marvel's San Diego Comic-Con booth, fans can finally get a closer look at the game's - and possibly its film source material's - aesthetic.

While the teaser trailer doesn't reveal much aside from Thor's 3-D rendered back as he surveys a brightly colored expanse, the concept art does explore at least a few of the video game's promised nine worlds from Marvel's Norse mythology. So far fans can catch glimpses of the fiery Muspelheim and its ruler Surtur, the icy Niflheim, and the Vanir's homeland Vanaheim. There's also multiple shots of the city of Asgard, which could shed further light on the look of Thor's homeland from the upcoming film.
