While the official unveiling of the armor from the Iron Man movie seemed to cause a stir, the big news of Day 3 came from Dark Horse, which announced a deal with the CLAMP collective to create an original shojo series for release beginning in 2009.
The agreement, which gives Dark Horse its first shojo title, calls for the manga to be released simultaneously in North America, Japan and South Korea. The publisher will release the series in a new format that it calls “mangettes,” 80-page digests that will come out on a monthly schedule.
The four-woman CLAMP team is known for such popular titles as Cardcaptor Sakura, Chobits, xxxHolic, Legal Drug and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.
Vertigo confirmed it will publish a graphic novel from singer-songwriter Neil Young, based on his 2003 album Greendale. He’ll collaborate with writer Joshua Dysart and artist Sean Murphy.
And Marvel unveiled the creative teams for its now three-times-a-month Amazing Spider-Man series.
