‘Daniel’ over on FB Incredible Hulk group posted a message to fellow subscribers - such as myself - alerting them to some of the good-time festivities that went down at the New York Comic Con, where cast and crew of the superhero flick held fort on a panel.

Here’s the report/message :

The IGN Theater was the place to be today at New York Comic Con, where one of the most popular panels of the event so far unfolded. We’re talking The Incredible Hulk, of course, which featured director Louis Leterrier, “surprise” guest Tim Roth (who plays Emil “The Abomination” Blonsky), producers Kevin Feige and Gale Anne Hurd, and even “extra-special” guest Lou Ferrigno. Click here to read about Ferrigno’s involvement in the new film.

Aside from the presence of Roth and Ferrigno — not to mention the surprise clip screened which shows that Iron Man himself, Tony Stark, will be appearing in a cameo role in the film — the panel was a crowd-pleaser because of the abundance of new footage on display.

First off came a clip featuring Roth’s military-man character, where William Hurt’s General “Thunderbolt” Ross enables Blonsky’s desire to take on Hulk-like power and become the behemoth known as The Abomination. This is achieved through a series of painful injections involving a sort of super-soldier serum. After the clip screened, the talent present did not deny the similarities to Captain America’s origin story, with Leterrier even commenting (joking?) that the formula is the same color as Cap’s.

During a panel at the New York Comic Convention today, Marvel Comics announced that they will be working with Hugo and Nebula Award-winning science fiction writer Orson Scott Card to adapt two of his most acclaimed novels, Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow, into comic books later this year.

Ender’s Game, a cult-favorite novel about a child prodigy named Ender recruited to help fight an alien army, and Ender’s Shadow, a concurrent book focused on another young soldier, will launch as separate comics in late 2008, with the first Ender’s Game collection due out in summer 2009.

Like Marvel’s other literary crossovers, the Ender’s Game comics aim not only to woo new readers into comic stores, but also to continue the push of graphic novels and trade paperback collections into traditional bookstores and libraries where they can reach a more mainstream audience.

Card, who also currently scripts the Ultimate Iron Man superhero comic with Marvel, says he was eager to pursue a comic book adaptation, but that the rights were previously bound up in film deal for the two novels, which were optioned by Warner Brothers, the parent company of DC Comics.

“The moment I got the comic book and game rights extracted from the movie option deal, I let Marvel and other [publishers] know about the availability,” says Card. “I truly was open-minded about who would end up doing the books, [but] Marvel got there first, with a terrific, ambitious plan for Ender’s Game and Ender’s Shadow.”
