When DC launched Rebirth’s new Suicide Squad series last August, it was no coincidence that it debuted alongside its cinematic counterpart and, quite wisely, featured a lineup that reflected the one seen on film: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Killer Croc, Enchantress, Katana, and Captain Boomerang, among others.
It’s probably due to Supergirl’s recent success on television that she’s receiving more attention in the comic book medium than in quite some time. After a digital first tie-in to her CW series wrapped last summer, DC launched an eponymous solo series starring the Girl of Steel as part of the Rebirth era. And, more recently, an out of continuity story in the form of Supergirl: Being Super kicked off, fleshing out Kara’s formative years as never before told.
You know, when Charles Soule signed an exclusivity deal with Marvel a few years back, I crossed my fingers upon hearing the news in hopes that he’d one day pen a Daredevil series. After all, Soule himself is a practicing attorney and a gig such as this just seems like a natural fit for him. And while he did apply that element to his She-Hulk run, this has even more significance with me personally because Matt Murdock happens to be one of my favorite Marvel characters.
Although I've been historically critical of DC's Legends of Tomorrow's Bill and Ted inspired method of teaming up with historical figures, I can't deny that the series has been on an upswing in terms of quality in recent weeks. And, from what we can tell, "Camelot/3000" looks to find a nice blend of the established formula and mining DC Comics' rich mythology.
Is it just me or has it felt like an eternity has passed since the finale of iZombie's second season aired? Well, odds are that many others share this sentiment because the third season is set to commence on Tuesday, April 4, nearly a year after things left off.
Needless to say, The Flash has no intention of slowing down once it’s able to place the upcoming crossover with Supergirl in its rearview mirror. Of course, we won’t know specific details until the network releases official synopses of episodes two or three weeks prior to their airing, but a few recent photos from the set have provided some very intriguing teasers.
Yesterday, we got the first details concerning some of the many tie-ins that are sure to orbit Marvel’s next major crossover event, Secret Empire. But today, we examine some juicy tidbits pertaining to the main event itself as more pieces of cover art and official solicitations have found their way online.
Not long ago, we learned that Eddie Brock, the original Venom, would be returning this spring just in time to see the comic book series that also bears that name reach the milestone of its 150th issue. But just because he was slated to be involved, we all knew that didn’t necessarily mean he would once again don his iconic black and white costume in anything other than promo and cover art.
There are many reasons why Action Comics is one of my favorite titles DC currently publishes – and Path of Doom illustrates them all beautifully. Not only does it include Superman and all the essential supporting characters – Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Lex Luthor, for starters – but it also features some of the most compelling mysteries of the young Rebirth era, a quality many may not be aware of and something that will be touched on shortly.
Just because Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was released in cinemas nearly a year ago doesn't mean that we'll stop talking about it anytime soon. As you know, movies of this nature are ripe for film trivia and we often learn new things about them even decades later.
