We previously discussed how Neil Gaiman's Sandman reveal and Image Comics marquee slate of new creator-owned titles won big at Comic-Con 2012. Now check out the rest of the tidbits — which concern everything from rainbow-hued Clydesdales to Bishop from Aliens — that debuted last week in San Diego.



And first off, here are some of the books io9 debuted prior to Con: Image's Great Pacific, Dark Horse's Star Wars, and Archaia's The Joyner's in 3D.

- Former cinematic Frank Castle Thomas Jane unveiled a just-for-kicks Punisher fan film he made co-starring Ron Perlman. Said Jane of the project, "I wanted to make a fan film for a character I've always loved and believed in — a love letter to Frank Castle and his fans. It was an incredible experience with everyone on the project throwing in their time just for the fun of it."
