What’s up at: Universal

You know Disney and WB have comic book companies, and Fox and Paramount have dabbled with their own comics in the past, but what about Universal? They're putting out at least one comics-y type thing, even if it's coming out from their Universal Studios branch as part of Halloween hoopla.

As announced last evening, CCI: San Diego's board, despite intense wooing from other cities, has decided to keep Comic-Con in San Diego. The announcement has been met with generally universal relief thus far.
