It sure has been a month in terms of comics news, hasn’t it? Here are some of the highlights–and lowlights–from the past couple of weeks. There’s a lot here, so buckle in.
News About DC and Marvel
- Terence Stamp, best known to superhero fans as the bombastic General Zod in Superman 2 (though I recommend giving The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert a watch), passed away on August 17.
- Erstwhile Superman Dean Cain continues to prove that he has never and will never understand the character. In early August, he announced that he had joined ICE so he could personally brutalize and terrorize innocent people, including children. Incidentally, if you have a few bucks to throw at RAICES or other immigrants’ rights organizations, now would be a good time.
- James Gunn’s Superman is out on digital already! Yay!
- Have you seen the original art for this Spider-Man page? It was stolen from comics art collector Albert Moy, who is offering a $20,000 reward.
- The Handmaid’s Tale‘s Max Minghella has joined the cast of DC’s horror take on Clayface.
- We’re learning more about the upcoming Marvel/DC crossover event! Who wants to see Harley Quinn annoying the Hulk?
