While Marvel Comics may be known for tossing exclusive announcements out on the con circuit, the Internet and in print, The House of Ideas has also been known for breaking news straight to everyone's favorite source for Wednesday afternoon joy: your local comics retailers. In the wake of the Baltimore Comic-Con, comic shop owners and employees from across the nation settled in for a retailer summit this evening, and Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada was on hand to drop a slew of newsworthy announcements. Here's a rundown of some of the announcements: JMS DROPS THE HAMMER ON 'THOR' Spinning out of Civil War, Amazing Spider-Man and Squadron Supreme, scribe J. Michael Straczynski will be taking over the reins on Marvel's recently resurrected thunder god Thor. With creators from Mark Millar to Neil Gaiman having expressed interest in the adventures of the hammered one in the past AND fans craving a Thor monthly since his last series ended in 2004, JMS has plenty on his plate, but with the character's shocking, sales breaking return in Civil War #3, it's never been a better time to be the guardian of Thor. ANNIHILATION'S AFTERMATH In the wake of the fan-favorite event that has seen the entirety of the company's cosmic characters ravaged by Negative Zone nasty Annihilus, Marvel will debut three Annihilation spin-offs in the next year. Headlined by a brand new Nova monthly ongoing title, the space-faring initiative will also include a miniseries centering on the many Heralds of Galactus and one involving the supposedly dead superhero Quasar. MARVEL MAXES OUT Since getting a shot in the arm courtesy of senior editor Axel Alonso last year, Marvel's mature readers imprint has built a strong amount of buzz on fan hopes that the publisher may finally launch a serious horror series that will stick. And soon out of the gate on the heels of titles like the new Hellstorm, the Max imprint will add Marvel characters Foolkiller and Sleepwalker to its stable. While Sleepwalker was last seen in Robert Kirkman's short for Marvel's Epic anthology, no creative team has been announced for this new treatment or the relaunch of Steve Gerber's hooded psychopath. DOING IT FOR THE KIDS WITH GRAPHIC CLASSICS With their Marvel Adventures line and smart all-ages titles like Runaways having an impact on the kid-friendly worlds of the bookstore and library, Marvel takes the idea of catching new readers one step further with a new line of graphic novel adaptations of classic literature. Illustrated versions of James Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans, Alexander Dumas' The Man in the Iron Mask and Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island will all see the shelves in the near future thanks to the pen of the legendary Roy Thomas. Besides being a former Marvel E-i-C, writer of everything from The Avengers to X-Men and a celebrated comics historian, Thomas also has a history of adapting prose fiction to the comics form through years of writing Conan the Barbarian comic tales. ROMANCE REBORN IN 'GUIDING LIGHT' Marvel heroes have always been equally known for their behind-the-scenes escapades as they have been for bashing supervillains, and soon the more melodramatic aspects of the Marvel U will be seen through a whole new "light." In a special crossover that lands the Avengers in the fictional town of Springfield from the long running CBS soap opera "Guiding Light," fans can expect heated hijinx between the likes of Iron Man and the cunning vixens of the Spaulding family. At least that's what we hope! FAMILY TIES FOR THE FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN Hot on the heels of the fun-filled specials featuring every spider themed character from Araña to Spider-Man 2099, writer Sean McKeever will deliver a monthly Spider-Man Family title that will cover the entirety of the Spidey franchise from alternate reality takes on the webhead to lost tales of supporting cast members.
