From TV Guide:
Following a video clip in which show bosses Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak and star Zachary Levi pretended to be blindsided by Chuck's renewal, Jeffster — aka the micro-band formed by Buy More buds Jeff and Lester — ignited the event with a most unexpected and thoroughly rousing live performance of Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls," says SciFiWire.com. (Watch a video below.)
The entire cast paraded on stage and joined in, with Levi air-guitaring to the music. Once the commotion came to a close, the Chuck creators and cast proceeded to tease the coming season ("Something very emotional and dramatic will have happened between Chuck and Sarah," said Schwartz), joke about the rumored budget cuts ("This year, we can only afford for Adam Baldwin to grunt"), and unveil a new web hub — ChuckMeOut.com — that will keep fans entertained until the new season arrives.
The ensemble also took time to send love to those who partook in the Subway/grassroots campaign that got the show picked up for a midseason — if not sooner, hint-hint-hope — return.
The fast-paced panel served up a smattering of intel. As hinted at season's end, Chuck's bro-in-law, Awesome, will get sucked into the spy world; Carina (played by Mini Alden), the rogue agent who struck Morgan's fancy, will return; and Chuck's new kung-fu skill set will be (as we always suspected) glitchy at best.

Holy Comic Book Crossover Batman! News from the New York Comic Con is that the Tony Stark character from the upcoming Iron Man film will appear in The Incredible Hulk film talking to General Ross.In the scene, Tony Stark walks in to a bar where Ross is and says "It smells like stale beer in here," Ross replies "You always have such nice suits." Tony continues "I hear you have a little problem" Ross goes on to say "You should talk" and Tony responds "You should listen."
Is that cool or what? And it appears that Stark will appear at the tail end of the Incredible Hulk trailer which will be in front of Iron Man!

Stan Lee, who will oversee Virgin Comics' new line of superheroes, says he has 'some exciting things in mind.'British tycoon Richard Branson is going into business with 85 year old Lee, the co-creator of Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Iron Man, Daredevil and dozens of other signature characters made famous by Marvel Comics.
Branson's upstart Virgin Comics will formally announce the deal with Lee at this weekend's New York Comic Con, where Lee is being honored as "a living legend" and is scheduled to receive the inaugural New York Comics Legend Award at an event at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square.
The new venture will have Lee as the editor overseeing a line of superhero comics that will launch next year with a tentpole title he is writing himself. That project -- the title of which remains under wraps -- will center on a superhero team that sounds similar to his classic work on the Avengers at Marvel. (Lee ended his exclusive relationship with Marvel in the 1990s but still has ties to the company and even has cameo roles in the upcoming Marvel films "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk.")
"It will be a team of 10 heroes and they will be dealing with personality conflicts, personal problems and chemistry within the team," Lee said in an interview this week. "I'm going to get started working on it right away and I'm very excited about doing something that will be fresh and breaking new ground. I can't give away the details or the names yet, but I have some exciting things in mind."
