ComicCon 2007: The Twelve announced at Mondo Marvel Panel

Today at the Mondo Marvel Panel, Marvel announced a new comic series called "The Twelve " which would premier in January 2008. Here's some information on what exactly "The Twelve" is -

*First off, it's a 12 issue mini-series, and will be written by J Michael Straczynski, and drawn by Chris Weston.
*The story is pretty cool - It tells the story of 12 World War II era comic characters who haven't been seen on paper since the early 40's. The characters find themselves brought to the present day (ala Captain Marvel :D), and they must deal with new new and strange culture.
*Most characters have only been featured in 4 or so comics, mostly less.
*The twelve characters include - Captain Wonder, Dynamic Man, Electro the Marvel of the Age, Rockman, Mr. E, Mastermind Excello, Mystical Blade, the Phantom Reporter, the Laughing Mask, the Witness, the Fiery Mask and the Golden Age Black Widow.
*There will be a few Marvel character cameos.
