After the DC Panel was the Marvel A Cup of B Panel, which was moderated by Brian Bendis and included Dan Slott, Tom Brevoort and C.B. Cebulski. There was some announcements made at the beginning of the panel, including that Dan Slott will be writing Mighty Avengers starting with issue #21 and that he will no longer be writing for Avengers: The Initiative (which will only be written by Chris Gage). Instead of writing Mighty Avengers, Bendis will be writing Dark Avengers. He will also be teaming up with Alex Maleev to write Spider-Woman: Agent of SWORD which will debut in March of 2009 (Maleev and Bendis previously worked on Daredevil together). After the announcements the audience asked questions but there was nothing revealed about upcoming issues of Secret Invasion. A funny part of the panel was that there was a women signing in the front of the room for the hearing impaired and whenever Bendis would curse he would stop the panel to see how she signed the curses and he was paying a lot of attention to the woman signing. Also one of the audience members had made a jacket out of Mighty and New Avengers tie-ins, which he felt were filler issues, so that kept being brought up through out the panel.
After the panel I was finally able to make it to the convention floor. I got some good back issues that I was looking for, and I was able to get some things signed by Geoff Johns, JG Jones, Jim Lee and Dan Slott. I liked how the floor was set up, and how every artist and writer had their own table that they spent most of the day at, it made it a lot easier to get things signed and chat with the writers and artists a bit more.
