Jon and I just got back from the con.  The Spotlight panel of JMS's was 
*great*!  He arranged (through Pat Tallman's Talent To Go company, I believe) 
for there to be a sagged reading of the upcoming Wonder Woman 601.  Four young 
actors were onstage reading the parts and JMS read the descriptions for the 
panels with no dialogue while each page showed up on the big screen.  I liked 
it a lot!  We get the backstory on what happened to Paradise Island and to 
Queen Hippolyta and more info on her opponents.

JMS said that we'll find out more as we go along and that much of what 
Diana/Wonder Woman will be facing is based on Greek mythology.

I can't think of any real big news.  JMS mentioned names like Spielberg and 
Cameron and others but they're all projects that he can't talk about.  I think 
he may have thought there'd be some announcements by the time the con rolled 
around.  He also mentioned that there's a TV project in the works but, again, 
he can't discuss it.

Oh, Cameron won't be directing Forbidden Planet because he's prepping for 
Avatar 2 (I think it was). 

It was a great panel and JMS ended it reminding people to Never Surrender 
Dreams.
