If you're planning on heading to the New York Comic-Con this year then be prepared to see DC Universe Online in full force. SOE is pulling out all the stops this time around, including the first-ever villain play via a new playable demo at the SOE booth on the show floor. Something else attendees won't want to miss will be the panel on Saturday, February 7th where a mysterious new creative team member will be revealed and opened to questions along with Jim Lee, Geoff Johns, SOE developers Wes Yanagi, Jens Andersen and Jared Carr.

Immediately after the Saturday panel, SOE will be holding a fan event where the new villain-focused demo will be available for further play. Plus, Jim Lee and Geoff Johns will be on hand to speak about the game some more -- as if they won't have been pelted by fervent fan questions already. Still, the whole thing sounds like a ton of fun for anyone looking forward to DC Universe Online and the new superhero MMOs in general.

Find full details after the cut.

I hope someone from Massively is going to be at NYCC. It sounds like there's going to be tons of MMO info. Both DCUO and Champions Online will be there with new demos. We're going to have to live vicariously through Massively for all that juicy info.

Wizard Magazine's March 2009 issue spoiled this with the reveal that DC Universe Online will be co-plotted by Marv Wolfman, a longtime DC Comics writer.
