We reported some news over the past week, but obviously not all of it. Comic Con was HUGE! It always is! It is very easy to get lost in the amount of news that is released.

However, thanks to Newsarama we have a list of all the announcements by Marvel and DC. Both had some pretty big news to bring to comic book fans in attendance, but the real question is who do you think had the better con this year?

Check out the full list for each company after the cut, and let us know what you think! And don’t forget to go to our source for this article.!

Matthew Meylikhov

Once upon a time, Matthew Meylikhov became the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Multiversity Comics, where he was known for his beard and fondness for cats. Then he became only one of those things.
