NS: A few bits of comic book media news
May. 20th, 2020 02:30 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
icon_ukSince 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

Justice League United #1
May. 14th, 2014 11:28 pmskemonoSo last issue, Stargirl and Animal Man followed Adam Strange to the site of the alien abduction, where they were attacked by aliens and joined by Martian Manhunter and Green Arrow. The aliens unleash... something... and now they have to fight it.
( But they have to fight it under cover of this cut. )

New Adam Strange
Apr. 23rd, 2014 10:41 pmskemonoJustice League United 0 came out today, reintroducing Adam Strange to the nuDC universe (and also introducing Equinox, but her pages are pretty boring and don't tell us anything about her character yet).

espanolbotA comic from the far off days of yore, when Billy Batson was a superhero and the Justice Society hadn't been stunk out by Magog trashing up the place yet!

What were the results?! Well you'll have to click behind the cut to find out!
( Surprised? Or was it what you thought would be the case? )

neuhallidaeTalking about the WTF-inducing mask on Stargirl's costume in the Smallville previews reminded me of a little number from issue #72 during Johns' run on JSA. Namely, the costume that an alternate-future Patricia Dugan (Courtney Whitmore's half-sister) wore during her very short appearance as Starwoman during the arc with Per Degaton.
