NYCC bits and bobs...

War of Kings panel: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... e&id=19891
There's an "online-exclusive miniseries" focusing on some characters in the lead-up to WoK. And the GotG #12 cover features a Death-inspired Phyla with no Quantum bands. Not much else new there.
X-Men panel: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... e&id=19897
Old Man Logan's ending is getting shoved off into a one-shot, since Millar & McNiven are running slow, so that the Wolverine title can be turned into Dark Wolverine Starring Daken, co-written by Daniel Way. [So, as rumoured, Wolverine: Weapon X is indeed an Invincible Iron Man-style overlapping-relaunch]. The original New Mutants are getting a new title. Oh, and Claremont's getting shoved even further into orbit without being made to retire, with "X-Men Forever" being a "What If Claremont Never Left After X-Men #3" title, and "GeNext United" being a sequel to the tremendously-successful-on-every-level-including-commercially GeNext. And finally, there's a Wolverine/Domino mini called X-Force: Sex and Violence. [I don't think there was a single announcement there that even interested me]
Dark Reign: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page ... e&id=19901
Paul Cornell & Mark Brooks are doing a Dark Reign: Young Avengers mini, pitting Young Avengers against Dark Young Avengers patterned after the original Masters of Evil. There were a few more mini announcements, including Jeff Parker & Kyle Hotz's Dark Reign: The Hood. Jonathan Hickman - already announced as the Dark Reign: F4 writer - is taking over the core Fantastic Four title whenever Millar & Hitch are finally finished, with Dale Eaglesham on art. Captain Britain & MI13 is still NOT cancelled.
