In case you missed it, we published exclusive previews from Marvel of next week’s “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” #10 and “Unbeatable Squirrel Girl” #48, as well as an interview with “Wretched Things” artist Ken Perry.
– Marvel Comics released another “INCOMING!” teaser image, this one foreshadowing the murder of a hero who is likely connected to both the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. You can check out the December teaser (and a few more details) at Newsarama.
– According to this GeekDad interview with “Heartstopper” author/illustrator Alice Oseman, Scholastic’s Graphix imprint will release the print version of her queer webcomic in May 2020.
– In advance of the Eternals’ impending big screen debut, Marvel is reprinting “The Eternals” #1 (from 1976) and collecting a number of Eternals back-up stories within “Eternals: Secrets From The Marvel Universe.” ComicBook.com has more details on the reprinted material.
– Netflix’s Korean zombie series Kingdom, which is based on the webcomic “The Kingdom of the Gods,” has been renewed for a second season according to Deadline. No release date was announced.
– The Marvel: Dimension of Heroes AR game launches today (for those with access to a Lenovo Mirage), according to Marvel.com. The game includes a story mode in which players play as Doctor Strange, Captain America, Thor, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, and Star-Lord, as well as a survival and co-op mode.
– In comics adaptation casting news, Riverdale has added Vida star Mishel Prada to its season four line-up, and The Boys has added Timeless actors Goran Visnjic and Claudia Doumit for its second season. The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline, respectively, have more information on the castings (including what roles each actor will play).
– Finally, in further casting news, The Mighty reports ABC’s Stumptown will feature Cole Sibus (Born This Way), an actor with Down syndrome, as Dex Parios (Cobie Smulders)’s brother Ansel. As The Mighty notes, this is significant, as while disabled people make up nearly 25% of the U.S. population, less than 1% of TV characters had a disability as of 2016, and of those, only 4.5% were played by disabled actors. Stumptown premieres on ABC on September 25.
