Here is a quick bullet point run down of some of the awesome news and video shared during the panels of WonderCon this year. Sadly some of the video (Battlestar Galactica’s Blood and Chrome) is unavailable. But we have for you all what we can share, with more news to come, as always.

  • Angry Birds have taken to space and this summer so will Marvel’s the Punisher. Space: Punisher (yes, they’re calling it that) will be handled by Frank Tieri and Mark Texeira and is the start of something much bigger and space related.
