Also at the Cup o’ Joe panel, Marvel confirmed The Stand comic book that author Stephen King announced on NPR back in March.

According to Marvel.com, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa will script the book, with art by Mike Perkins. Colorist Laura Martin, letterer Chris Eliopolus and cover artist Lee Berjemo round out the team.

During the panel, Quesada said this first mini-series is titled Captain Tripps, the name of the apocalyptic virus in the story. Quesada said that King will be fully involved with the adaptation, and that they knew how many parts the full adaptation of the 1000+ page novel will run, but aren’t saying it publicly just yet.
