"Situations will continue to worsen after the conclusion of Marvel&amp;#039;s Dark Reign storyline, it was announced at Fan Expo in Toronto. Speaking at Marvel&amp;#039;s Dark Reign panel, marketing manager Arune Singh said that things will continue to worsen in the Marvel Universe over the next year. &amp;quot;There are even bigger and badder things, you might not like to see what happens with your favourite characters and heroes,&amp;quot; he said. Dark Reign has dealt with the ascendancy and legitimisation of the psychopathic Norman Osborn - formerly the Spider-Man villain the Green Goblin - and the effect this has had on the Marvel Universe. Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada has promised that the company will draw back from large crossover events in the coming year, focusing instead on smaller storylines limited to a single title. &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;ll be seeing events but they&amp;#039;ll be smaller... sort of where we were before all this event craziness began. It&amp;#039;ll be a new era in the Marvel Universe,&amp;quot; said Quesada at the panel. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
