Welcome to our special New York Comic Con Edition of The Binquirer, where we'll give you all the best news and announcements in a single place. Tons of things are happening all day, so it can be hard to parse out what's awesome and what's just hype, so we've done the legwork for you! Want more info? Just follow the links provided.
Marvel Comics:
Ales Kot, a favourite here at Comic Book Bin, has already been tapped to co-write
Secret Avengers with Nick Spencer, but he will be relaunching the book solo in March. In addition to Spider-Woman joining the team,
Zero artist Michael Walsh will be providing the pencils. More at
CBR.
Ales Kot will also be writing
Iron Patriot with Garry Brown illustrating. The series is about James Rhodes attempting to be his own thing, away from Iron Man. More at
CBR.
Dan Slott and Mike Allred will be joining together for a new
Silver Surfer series, coming in March. Slott said he wrote the series with Allred in mind and is simply ecstatic that the legendary penciller can draw it. Few details yet except that the title character will be joined by a female companion to explore the universe. No word on if Rad Norrin will be trading his surfboard in for a TARDIS. More at
IGN.
Marvel also announced that Nick Spencer and Jonathan Hickman, with artist Stefano Caselli, will be writing
Avengers World. The book launches in January and looks at the Avengers' impact on a global scale. I doubt Captain America has any better ideas on what to do in Syria, but hey, let's see what
Avengers World will try to do. More at
IGN.
DC Comics:
Responding to high demands by fans, DC is bringing back Stephanie Brown in the new weekly comic series
Batman: Eternal. No word yet on who she'll be or what she'll be doing, but answers will come in

DC's panel also announced the death of Superboy. Writer Scott Lobdell told the audience that "[Superboy makes] the ultimate sacrifice, giving his life to stop the universe from falling apart." Lobdell also announced that Supergirl won't be sticking around the Superman family of books for very much longer, but instead striking out into a "another whole set of books in the DC universe."
