nycc- From the IDW panel: two more Barack Obama comics are in the works: one detailing his presidential campaign, the other following his first 100 days as president. (N’rama)

- From the Wildstorm panel: look for Book Three of Astro City: The Dark Age later this year. The entire mini is completed and is expected to ship regularly. Also, a new Tranquility mini is due later this year. (N’rama)

- From a private press session: Terminator: Salvation director McG on wanting Will Smith for 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: “I definitely like the idea of Will Smith. I’ve made that very clear. I like the idea of breaking down any racial barriers and taking the idea of what people perceive to be a period film and turning it on it’s ear. And we have a few interesting way to deal with that as well… Because I think he can handle it. It’s basically a guy at war, with war itself. And I don’t want it to be so dark as to be prophetsorial [sic] and to feel like a history lesson. It has to have a journey component to it so it makes you want to get out of your cubicle and your small life and go live in a world larger than your accustomed to. For that I think you need somebody to take you with them, and like I said that’s a short list.” (IO9)
