Since we have relatively few new comic books right now, how about some coverage of new comic book derivatives!

"Stargirl", the next live action series has just had it's first episode released on DC Universe for those interested. It's had some good reviews and I like the idea of the Cosmic Rod having a bit of a mind of it's own.... sort of a Toothless to Courtney's Hiccup perhaps?

Also, in a surprise move, Batwoman has lost it's Batwoman, as Ruby Rose has announced she won't be returning to the role of Kate Kane for the already greenlit second season. It has been confirmed the role will be recast, and intends to cast from the LGBTQA+ acting community. That seems a shame, I haven't seen too many episodes because I keep forgetting what timeslot it's on in the UK, but I liked what I saw of her performance.

Season 2 of "Doom Patrol" has a release date: 25th June on DC Universe and HBO Max!

Season 2 of "Umbrella Academy" will be released on Netflix on 31st July, confirmed by way of a fun trailer shot during lockdown

Neil Gaiman attracted a lot of good vibes from the release of the casting for the upcoming audio version of the Sandman comics. Which will feature James McAvoy as Morpheus, Kat Dennings as Death, Michael Sheen as Lucifer, Andy Serkis as Matthew the Raven, Taron Egerton as John Constantine, Reginald D. Hunter as John J'onzz, NB performer Justin Vivian Moore as Desire and Riz Ahmed as the Corinthian, oh and Bebe Neuwirth as a Siamese Cat. We'll also hear British character actors Sue Johnston as Unity Kinkaid, Paterson Joseph as the Demon Chronzon, Josie Lawrence as Mad Hettie, Arthur Darvill as William Shakespeare, and Miriam Margolyes as Despair. (That last could be FASCINATING, I'd never have thought of her for the role, given the sheer energy she brings to every role)

The first release in July, will include the first three volumes of Sandman; Preludes & Noctures, The Doll's House, and Dream Country.

Late addition - Henry Cavill just confirmed that the Zack Snyder version of Justice League will be released next year

You know, I was thinking after my last post on this topic that I had sort of cheated.

Now don't get me wrong, Cypher's powers would be fascinating, and useful, and generally awesome in a quiet sort of a way, but it, like all the powers I was thinking of, were those that would be USEFUL to me in my life - Teleportation would save on travel costs, Telekinesis would just be so functionally useful I don't even know where to start... Another power I had pondered was the ability to split into multiple selves like Triplicate Girl/Duo Damsel/Triad/Duplicate Damsel (Good lord, she has more names than selves!). which would also have many uses.. though if I had two jobs I might run into tax issues... but that's overthinking things a bit.

No, I realised that I also had a power I wanted to have for FUN.... flight would be at the top of that list if I didn't have it included in the power I was thinking of... What power is that, well here's a clue (if you have't already read the tags)

From thenerdist.com, a preview for Justice League #27

aka Geoff Johns continuing his rather weird habit of killing off juvenile heroes in his crossover events. In this case, members of a team that hasn’t even debuted in the New 52 yet; The Doom Patrol.
