Just saw on Bleedingcool.com that Joe Q. is making a huge announcement later this afternoon. Some are speculating Harry Potter comics or the reprinting of Miracleman. Could be a hoax for something, or maybe not. What do we all think?

I would bet Harry Potter Comics, it would bring a lot more kids to Marvel and a potential chance to get them into Super Hero comics as well

I doubt Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling had a "no comic books" policy in her publishing agreement.

Miracleman seems a good possibility. That was my second thought.

My first was Ditko on Spider-Man. That would be amazing.

But it seems that Quesada thinks this will be "Internet" big, not "comic book fan" big.

Something with Twilight? Who knows. I'm sure whatever it is it will be much less of a great announcement than anyone thinks.

I can't see it being Harry Potter comics. J.K. Rowling has the sense to not let her creations get sullied or diluted by inferior works. She allowed the films, but had a lot of control over them (i.e. they weren't allowed to cast Americans and could only tell her stories.)

It's her universe and I think it would be a horrible idea to let anyone else play in it.

Since the timing is critical - I would gander a guess that it has something to do with something else going on at the convention. Maybe Marvel will do "Twilight" comics or maybe they've signed with Longbox.

That doesn't matter. They would all be different licenses. And WB is so far removed from DC Comics, it wouldn't even matter.

Correct WB, so I would think DC would get first zap at it before Marvel.

Miracleman's been at Marvel for years now.

They just colored him yellow and called him Sentry.

People are pointing out a potential clue in what Rich said:

"But I’ve been asked to hold off from any mention, however small, even on the atomic level"

...atomic level? Atomic? Atomik? ATOMIK? KIMOTA?!?!?!?

Miracleman! I know...it seems like a reach to me too...

I'm not too familiar with his happenings currently, I know he sued Marvel, but what about Stan Lee? Mark Millar said on his message board he would be announcing an upcoming project with the biggest artist in comics....Possibly?

Black Goliath is back from the dead! Guaranteed to be as big a mainstream media story as when Black Goliath died!

Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson are getting married! SPOILERS: She's marrying Ben Reilly!

Uncle Sal's Atomika is going to MARVEL!!!!!

I think your right about Miracleman/Marvelman Mario. I would put a couple of coins on that bet. Good guess.

Well just like Rich I ferreted out what it is but I am not going to reveal it now. But when Joe Q. makes the announcement I WILL confirm that I was right.
