KPBS ran an earlier video post about Stan Lee and Perry Moore. But here's Lee on a panel with Grant Morrison. Morrison asked Lee his thoughts about Superman and about the Marvel universe he created.

Magic.  No, seriously.  Whenever people hear about Mortal Kombat vs. DC, the obvious question comes to mind: how do you put Superman in a fighting game?  One of the enforcers of DC's law on Midway's latest edition of Mortal Kombat is Jimmy Palmiotti.  Jimmy points out that, in comic books and movies, Superman traditionally has two weaknesses: kryptonite (the one everyone knows) and magic.  "If you look at the Mortal Kombat universe, it is based in magic, so it kind of levels the playing field," he told me.

Jimmy wouldn't reveal the story of how these two very different worlds collide, but he believes that they "meld the worlds pretty well." And apparently, the two groups meet each other, fight a bit, and then band together to fight a greater evil, possibly taking a cue from GI Joe and Cobra on those famous episodes when they both turned their robot-destroying guns away from each other.

So, in the real world, how did this game come about?  The answer?  The marketing department, according to MK creator, Ed Boon.

"DC Universe Online is the first chance for a player to step into the universe and play a character as their own hero," says Chris Cao.  He's been working on DCUO for a couple years now, but Comic-Con is the first time they've brought it forth from their steaming laboratory to show it off.  "The coolest thing about the game is to have players in it.  Now everybody gets to see it and be there," says Chris.

They're both stoked to be at their first Comic Con

Forget Watchmen and that Wolverine movie, the freshest debut at the Con this year comes straight from Booth 419.

Captain Save a Hood and his trusty side kick Peter Proper patrol the streets of Atlanta in their ’69 Chevy Impala, protecting their city from blistered gangsters, street pharmacists, and gold diggin’ baby makers. If they need back-up, they use the pay phone.

There are probably more than 100,000 reasons for going to the San Diego Comic-Con International -- one for each person who attends because that's how different and precise everyone's motive is for going to this gathering of pop culture fanatics. And yes, we are fanatics because we care passionately about our obsessions and we appreciate that Comic-Con is put on by people who feel exactly like we do.
