As opposed to Marvels standing Cup o Joe panel -- featuring Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada, which is held at many comics conventions throughout the year, the publisher offered Seattle fans at Emerald City ComiCon a Pint o CB, led by editor and writer CB Cebulski. He was joined on the dais with writers Matt Fraction, Brian Bendis and Ed Brubaker. The panel kicked off with an admission from Cebulski: he forgot his notes about what he was supposed to announce at the panel.
Thankfully, Matt Fraction had an announcement to share: there is no Dark X-Men book. An image was leaked by Marvel of Dark X-Men, but there is no separate book (despite web gossip that there is). Fraction said fans only need to look to the upcoming X-Men/Dark Avengers crossover for answers to the image.
