I am a child of the 80s, so of course there is a special place in my heart for both G.I. Joe and Transformers, and I love both of the comic series that IDW Publishing is currently releasing, so I am doubly excited to hear that the publisher is going to be releasing a new ongoing series teaming up the two properties.

What has me even more excited is that the series is going to be co-written and drawn by Tom Scioli (Godland). Scioli will be joined by Transformers veteran writer John Barber on writing duties, with the series set to release in the summer of 2014.

The Walking Dead panel at New York Comic-Con 2013 began with moderator and comedienne Yvette Nicole Brown of Community introducing executive producer Gail Anne Hurd to the podium. It was clear many of the crowd members were already fans of Brown, which only increased the high energy permeating the theater. Hurd stated that the cast of the number one television show is “the best I’ve ever worked with.” She then introduced a clip from the upcoming fourth season of the series.

The scene begins with Daryl, Michonne, and a new member of the group from the dismantled Woodbury sitting outside of a storefront. The new guy is trying to figure Daryl out, asking him if he was an undercover cop before the apocalypse began. This garners laughter from Michonne. The scene then cuts to Tyreese, Glenn, Sasha, and a group of heavily armed people entering into the building from another entrance. As they embark inside, the camera follows up the side of the building to the roof, which is covered with walker and a crashed helicopter.

“I want to make sure you all got what we just saw, people!” Brown said. “We saw zombies, and”¦a helicopter!” The crowd erupted in laughter.

I ran myself down to the convention center extra early today so I could take a few nice clean photos of the entire convention floor from our lofty perch in the Press Lounge before the multitude of geeks swarm in on this final day of New York Comic-Con 2013.

Fans of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel & Faith comics from Dark Horse Comics should be happy today to learn that both series will be coming back for new “seasons” in 2014, as was announced at New York Comic-Con 2013 this weekend.

There will be a slight creative team change as the old Angel & Faith team of writer Christos Gage and artist Rebekah Isaacs moving over to the main Buffy series. Taking over on Angel & Faith will be writer Victor Gischler (X-Men), with the art being handled by Will Conrad (Red Lanterns). Each series will run for 30 issues, with Buffy launching on March 19th, 2013 and Angel & Faith dropping on April 2nd.
