===========================
News coming from a Marvel press conference today is that Neil Gaiman will write an eight issue miniseries fro Marvel called “1602”.
What is this story about? It’s a world where Gaiman says “the might world of Marvel has come into existence 400 years early for reasons that will become apparent as the series progresses.”
What is this story not? Marvel and Gaiman insist that this is not a What if? Story, not an Elseworlds story, but don’t really explain what kind of story it is, saying wait in see.
In this world there are analogues to Nick Fury, Stephen Strange, Matt Murdock and X-men called “Witch Breed”. The story will be a mix of historical facts and the Marvel Universe, and will end in 1969 with the start of much of the Marvel Universe today.

Word from CrossGen is that they have hired a new writer and a new artist. Writer Ian Edginton (X-Force) and penciler Luke Ross (Spectacular Spider-Man) join CrossGen and will be working on Scion #40 coming out in September.
In other CrossGen news, they have signed an agreement to have International Outfitters Direct, one of the largest suppliers of brand wear in the world, create all CrossGen Apparel for fans. Check out the sigil shirts at http://crossgen.icobb.com/search.php?cat... Nothing like saving money on models, as CrossGen uses members of it’s staff to display the shirts. Ben Afflick has nothing to worry about from these guys.
