Interesting coincidence that today's top two posts are both about character design. On the comic side we have copious amounts of artwork from DC's Designing the New DCU 52 Panel, on the tv/film side we finally have all the pieces of the Avengers film character concepts put together into one giant Assembly of Avengers.

There are two Snow White films on the way, and one of them, Snow White and the Hunstman stars Kristen Stewart as the titular pale and not-necessarily-that-interesting victim of a stepmom's persecution. The film was given a panel at Comic-Con's Hall H this afternoon and unfortunately, I had dirty hair that didn't urgently need cleaning but, heck, it was as good a time as any.
