WIZARD WORLD PHILADELPHIA: SPIDER-MAN PANEL
Marvel Comics revealed the full cover to Amazing Spider-Man #511 for the first time on Sunday, with someone who looks like Gwen Stacy.
"I'll leave you guessing who the blonde woman on the cover is. It may not be who you think it is, or it could be exactly who you think," Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada said during the Spider-Man panel at Wizard World Philadelphia.
The issue is part of the "Sins Past" story from J. Michael Straczynski that begins in Amazing Spider-Man #509 in June.
"This is going to be one of the most ground-breaking Spider-Man stories in years," Quesada said.

WIZARD WORLD PHILADELPHIA: VERTIGO PANEL
Expect to see several projects to tie in with the release of the upcoming Constantine movie, editor Will Dennis said Sunday at the Vertigo panel at Wizard World Philadelphia.
"With the Constantine movie, there will be a lot of Hellblazer things that will turn a lot of people's heads," Dennis said.
Dennis said he couldn't currently elaborate, but one of the items will very likely be an adaptation of the film.
