And then he discovers... Uranos the Undying, Omnigenocidal Great Uncle, the rotting monstrous tree which Thanos' apple barely fell from, proof that perhaps this capacity of horror does skip a generation. So it's a happy ending for Thanos, really. Unhappy for everyone else, admittedly, but you can't have everything. This is a story about some of the darkest periods in the Eternals saga, as two of the worst people in the Marvel Universe get to know each other. Less Meet Cute, more Meet Execute. -- Kieron Gillen

cygnia"Kevin Conroy, who’s voiced the Dark Knight in the original Animated Series, Justice League, and a host of other animation and video games—and is an openly gay man—will be telling his own, “personal” story titled “Finding Batman.” According to DC editor Andrea Shea, Conroy’s first foray as a comics writer is a doozy: “2022 marks 30 years of Batman: The Animated Series so it only felt right to honor Kevin Conroy, THE voice of Batman for multiple generations. And we were FLOORED when he delivered a deeply moving personal story in collaboration with J. Bone and Aditya Bidikar.”"

The Queen's Gambit
Apr. 13th, 2022 11:33 pmstubbleupdate
From the pages of Red Sonja Black White and Red #7 comes the tale of Sonja's Gambit, written by former series regular Amy Chu. Chu's run swung between being outlandishly stupid and entertaining, but also stupid, or just a bit novel, so I wasn't bursting to read her short story. However, it was quite pleasing. Since Mark Russell's run on the book ended, Dynamite's Red Sonja slate has been a bit mediocre. There was Invincible Red Sonja by Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner, but a) I've not read a Palmiotti thing that I've enjoyed and b) Conner was writing, not drawing. The Immortal Red Sonja started this week and after one issue I'm pretty sure I can't be bothered with Sonja (and her cursed chainmail long sleeved top) being inserted into Arthurian myth. Mirko Andolfo's Red Sonja and her adopted child didn't do it for me, and so the upcoming Red Sitha series is an immediate body swerve. I dropped Hell Sonja because the artist kept using double page spreads and that's a headache to read digitally, no matter the reader.
That leaves the limited pallet short story anthology Black, White and Red as the only thing that consistently takes my fancy.
Today's extract features the artistic skills of Andres Labrada and Jeff Eckleberry. All in, it is a ten page story, so I'll have to do some filling in the blanks.
