Edit: Now with Wonder Woman cover added!


( Lots of images under the cut )

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

It's been too long since I did one of these, but this is an example that was too much fun not to share, as I had the pleasure of sort of starting something! :) (plus it makes a nice showcase of an artist I like)

Luciano Vecchio is a professional Argentinian artist whose work on Ironheart has been deeply appealling.

He has a somewhat cartoony style which isn't too common these days (shades of Alan Davis perhaps?), and with a complete lack of fear of actually making comics look brightly coloured.

So when he opened up single-figure commissions, you can imagine who I might have wanted him to have a go at! :) (Yeah, not Robin, though it was tempting... as was a Saint Seiya character (which is still big in Argentina) maybe another time!)

Instead I went for my favourite selfsoulfriends, and bot am I glad I did!



( And then it sort of snowballed... or maybe Cannonballed would be a better term :) )

Variety has announced that actor Ruby Rose has been cast as Kate Kane, aka Batwoman

NBC confirms that she will be introduced in this years CW hero crossover event. and is planned to get her own spin off series (That's more than The Ray managed)

Ruby Rose is a genderfluid (she prefers feminine pronouns), out lesbian, who is perhaps best known for her role "Orange is the New Black" and is about to be in "The Meg".

OitNB is not a show I follow, so I have little idea as to her as an actress. Anyone more familiar want to comment?.
