Take a minute to watch this debut trailer of Sony Pictures Animation’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! Miles Morales will swing to the big screen in December 2018.
More information about the film is available at Deadline.
The New York Times bestselling series THE WICKED + THE DIVINE will expand to 40-pages for issue #8 for the regular cover price of $3.50. This special issue will feature a Brandon Graham variant cover full of party-hopping punch.
Now that the eleventh god is here, it’s time to party in THE WICKED + THE DIVINE #8. You’re invited. Everyone’s invited. We can sleep when we’re dead—but when you’ll be dead within two years, you may as well turn up in your pyjamas. After seven issues of egomaniacs, it’s time for an issue where the crowd is the star.
THE WICKED + THE DIVINE #8 will be available for $3.50 on February 25 with Diamond Code DEC140772. Cover B (Graham) will be available with Diamond Code DEC148276.
The cut-off for pre-orders is the coming Monday, so speak to your retailer if you want to secure a copy.
Also, as mentioned above, issue 8 is longer than normal due to formalist nonsense getting entirely out of control.
“And Marvel’s announcement was as awesome as promised— they are starting a new all-female Avengers book! Coming in May to coincide with their Secret Wars event, the A-Force will include She-Hulk, Dazzler (!), and Runaways’ Nico Minoru (!!!!!!!), written by G. Willow Wilson and Angela: Asgard’s Assassin’s Marguerite K. Bennett, with art by New Thor’s Jorge Molina.
Wilson said that they’ve “purposefully assembled a team composed of very different characters–from disparate parts of the Marvel U, with very different power sets, identities and ideologies.” Bennett added that their heroines “embody the ideals of what we can each strive to be.” The women will be faced with problems like what they must sacrifice for success, and what being a hero is worth.
A-Force will also introduce a brand-new superhero called Singularity, who series editor Daniel Ketch says will “push the boundaries of diversity in comic books even further.” Perhaps… dare we wish… a trans woman superhero??”
DC announced a new editorial line-up including more female creators (Ming Doyle writing Constantine, swoon) and more female-led books (Black Canary! Starfire! PREZ!).
And then, Captain Marvel & Ms. Marvel editor Sana Amanat was promoted to Marvel’s new Director of Content & Character Development.
gailsimone ain’t lying. Today is a very good day for women in comics.
Plus!!!
Cyborg, a prominent black hero, is not only getting his own book, he’s going to be written by a black man (David Walker)!
Midnighter, a gay hero, is getting his own solo title!
Annie Wu is drawing Black Canary!
Starfire is being written and drawn by female creators (Amanda Conner (with Jimmy Palmiotti) and Emanuela Lupacchino, respectively)!
Chinese-American writer Gene Luen Yang (author of the acclaimed graphic novel The Shadow Hero, which I really want to read) is writing Superman! (And Shadow Hero artist Sonny Liew drawing Dr Fate!)
Genevieve Valentine, who was originally slated to write only one Catwoman arc, is continuing as the series writer!
Look at the tonal shift! Bizarro? Bat-Mite?? Prez??? These are not the kind of books I’d have expected to see in the all grimdark, all the time New 52 even a year ago.
