Fans at D23 Expo were treated to a very special panel Saturday night commemorating the 80th Anniversary of Marvel Comics. Moderated by CB Cebulski (Current Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics) and Tom Brevoort (Editor; “New Avengers”, “Civil War”), the panel covered a complete history of the company since it’s original inception in 1939.

Originally founded as Timely Comics, the company’s first publication was “Marvel Comics #1”, an anthology magazine featuring 4 different characters and story arcs. These characters included “The Human Torch”, “The Sub-Mariner (Namor)”, “The Angel”, and “The Masked Raider”. Cebulski and Brevoort both surprised the audience with a tough trivia question that none of the audience members could answer: “Which issue featured the first-ever Marvel team-up?” The answer being “Marvel Mystery Comics #9: The Human Torch vs. The Sub-Mariner”. While team-ups are very commonplace in the comic book world today, this was the first time two different characters with different story-arcs ever crossed over in Timely Comics history.
In 1941, at the height of World War II, Timely published the first issues of “Captain America”, who was created as a way to raise the spirits of children with fathers who were away at war. After the war, Captain America was cancelled and the age of the superhero at Timely Comics began to dwindle. During this time came the era of various characters who weren’t very popular at the time, but have now been given a new life within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These characters include Guardians of the Galaxy’s Groot, who first appeared in “Tales to Astonish”; Patsy Walker, who has since appeared in Marvel’s “Jessica Jones” on Netflix; and The Black Knight, who was recently annouced to be making his first cinematic appearance in the upcoming MCU film, “The Eternals”. Despite the age of the superhero being temporaily dead at Timely, this was the time when four incredibly essential human beings entered the company and forever changed what would later become known as the Marvel Universe; these four men being Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and John Romita Sr.

By the time the 60s rolled around, Stan Lee grew tired of his job as a comics editor and wanted to write more serious material. He relented this to his wife, Joan, who encouraged him to publish one last book the way he would want to do it. From this came the first issue of The Fantastic Four, the superhero team that birthed what would become what we all know and love as the Marvel Universe. The Fantastic Four would later give birth to Black Panther, whom was a controversial character when first created due to the racial bigotry present in the American South at that time. Lee still pushed for the character, however, feeling that young black children deserved a positive superhero role model just as much as white children.
Shortly after the release of the Fantastic Four came Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, the X-Men, and eventually the Avengers. All characters that would greatly influence millions of people all over the world. Eventually popular animated and live action television series were created and later, live-action films. At first, most of the Marvel properties had partnered with film studios such as 20th Century Fox and Sony Pictures, but beginning in 2008, Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau teamed with Marvel to create their own division of films beginning with the first “Iron Man”. This would later spwan what is now very well known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
