HUGE news on the chopping block in the exclusive cover revealed for NY Comic Con program: DC's Dark Knight III!

That's right, along with a panel celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of 
Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns, the New York Comic Con 2015 has unveiled a stunning cover of this year's program guide to reflect the artwork of Andy Kubert and be an exclusive sneak-peek into Issue #1 of Frank Miller's highly anticipated DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE mini-series of graphic novels.

The art is stunning and eerily reminiscent of the Frank Miller artwork done for the legendary Dark Knight book that is one of the main influences in the upcoming blockbuster film Batman Vs. Superman.

The look, gritty feel, and realistic tale of strife between two of the world's well known and starkly contrasting super heroes in a world only Frank Miller can construct is a cult favorite and considered one of the most important works ever created in the comic book medium.

Miller followed up The Dark Knight Returns with The Dark Knight Strikes Again, and DK III is said to be the final set of graphic novels for a trilogy that adds up to a thrilling magnum opus.

And to kick off the New York City turned Gotham locale for Comic Con, ReedPOP has brought this impactful and kick ass cover art to its NYCC 2015 program.

Read all about it and the  DC Comics – The Dark Knight 30th Anniversary panel where longtime collaborators of Frank Miller's, Jim Lee, Brian Azzarello, Klaus Janson, Andy Kubert will gather at the Con to pay homage to the great work.


Here is the official Press Release:

ReedPOP today revealed the exclusive cover for this year’s program guide, created by DC and designed by Andy Kubert. The cover (image below) is a sneak peek at Issue #1 of DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE that comes out later this year.

In conjunction with the cover reveal, DC will also be doing the following panel at this year’s NYCC to celebrate The Dark Knight’s 30th Anniversary:


Friday October 9, 11:00am-12:00pm

DC Comics – The Dark Knight 30th Anniversary

Moderator: John Cunningham

Talent:  Jim Lee, Brian Azzarello, Klaus Janson, Andy Kubert

 
Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns is one of the most important and recognized works in comic book history. In recognition of its 30th Anniversary, DC Entertainment returns to New York to celebrate the book that defined a generation. Joining in the festivities will be the amazing cast of top-notch talent, including Brian Azzarello, Klaus Janson, Andy Kubert, Jim Lee and maybe even a surprise guest or two, who are working on the final chapter of the saga 30 years in the making. Be here for reveals, revelations and exclusive artwork!  This is the once-in-a-lifetime panel you CANNOT miss! 

Adult Swim does New York Comic Con 2015 right, and I mean they really do it right! 

Even without a mention (at least yet, hint, hint) of a Rick & Morty panel or event, the tried and true staples of Cartoon Network's adult only cartoon platform - i.e. Robot Chicken kicking off Season Eight and The Venture Bros. - are injecting themselves fully into the city and the east coast NYCC that all have come to love, making gargantuan fan events and premieres throughout the neighborhood.

The full press release will follow below, but from the Con standpoint we are talking about a main stage takeover on Friday where the creators and stars of the Adult Swim's infamously dirty and oh so delightful cartoons will be highlighted and on hand, IN PERSON, including the ingenious Seth Green, Breckin Meyer, Matthew Senreich, Jackson Publick, Doc Hammer, Jon Glaser, Stephanie March, Scott Adsit, and many more.

What struck me was three things: one, the huge panels on Friday; two, the actual signing, yes Seth Green is signing your doo-dads, your toys and your nipples, on Saturday; three, the FREE to R.S.V.P. events located throughout New York City where you can catch the exclusive first glimpses of premiere material, like the world premiere of Robot Chicken DC Comics Special III: Magical Friendship [and the] . . . two companies will also debut the third and final custom video in “The Colonel’s Chronicles,” the epic space adventure starring Colonel Sanders and the Robot Chicken, or the Adult Swim Tyrannic Second Maiden Voyage for adults 21+ to hang with the friends and family of Adult Swim as a drunken boat sways up and down along the Hudson.

This Adult Swim Con weekend is going to be raucous fun!

The headline says it all: MARVEL TV SPOTLIGHTS BLOCKBUSTER LINEUP AT NEW YORK COMIC CON!

The joint press release from Marvel Television and ReedPOP, producer of the N.Y. Comic Con, announces specific premiere events for Marvel's eagerly anticipated upcoming TV projects, as it pushes to take over New York as its nexus for its fabled comic book characters.

If you have been wondering about when the hit Marvel's Agent Carter would return for its second season and what would be at the center of the plot after her entire agency's shakeup, it seems Marvel wants to save the juicy news for the stage at the New York Comic Con (NYCC). 

Read on and learn all about Ms. Carter, as well as the first ever group meeting of the cast of the Netflix Original Series Marvel’s Jessica Jones at NYCC and world Premiere screenings - before the shows air - and exclusive panels for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel’s Daredevil’, the brand new animated Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man: Web-Warriors’ .

D.C. Comics has left the inspiration for Gotham, as Warner Bros. moved from its long held headquarters in New York City to California, which is oddly sunny for a franchise based around the gloomy underbelly of Gotham.

Marvel, which has for most of its history been set in the real world, with Manhattan as a glorious backdrop as Stan Lee loved Spiderman slinging web through the legendary buildings and Matt the Daredevil of Hell's Kitchen battling in the grim city streets. 

The New York Comic Con is nearly here, and the exclusive Marvel showings will give fans an exclusive experience that they could not find anywhere else on earth.
