Deep in the heart of -- eh, forget it: In this Bizarro World in which we live, Comics Continuum once again provides better coverage of Wizard World Texas. Now why can't the site do a better job on a daily basis?

I'm now left wondering whether The Pulse attended a different convention, because Comics Continuum's take on the "Cup o' Joe" panel is a little more newsworthy:

* The "re-envisioning" of Dr. Strange actually has a date attached to it. Sort of. It should be in 2004. Maybe. (It will come as no surprise that NeilAlien is a little nervous about this talk of "re-envisioning.")

* Quesada will write "NYX" through at least Issue 6. "I would like to go further, but it takes a lot of time, so we'll see," he said. By that time, perhaps the story will have moved beyond "Kiten's home life sucks. And she can stop time." (See yesterday's review.)

* Plans are for the Ultimate Peter Parker never to leave high school. Whew! At least we won't have to relive the god-awful wedding issue in the Ultimate universe. (I have that around here somewhere.)

And then there was this:

"Quesada said he couldn't provide any insight into the recent downscaling of the Epic imprint. 'It's like the trade paperback division,' he said. 'Epic operated out of its own office, so there's not much I can tell you about what's going on in Epic.'"

Plausible deniability, anyone?
