Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at rundown@multiversitycomics.com.
– Making a good movie is hard. Making a good sequel is even tougher. But making a good second sequel? That’s nigh impossible; just ask Sam Raimi. The Evil Dead show runner admits he didn’t stick the landing on Spider-Man 3 like he wanted to, but would “love” to take another shot at it if Marvel was looking for his input. Maybe after a couple of Ash vs. Evil Dead seasons (premiering tomorrow night on Starz!) are in the can, huh, Sam? I’ve been waiting too long for that franchise to come back to not get a full ride on that crazy train before you go off and do something else.
– Speaking of second sequels, Frank Miller spoke to a French website recently about “DKIII” and clarified a few things about what the story will and won’t be. Mild spoilers (and some Google translate work required), but nothing on par with CBR’s DC-approved spoiler bomb after a warning about as effective as police tape at a crime scene.
– Cullen Bunn’s writing plate, while still full, is seeing projects coming & going at a decent clip recently. One of the departures, “Aquaman”, didn’t end up being the most pleasant experience due in large part to some vocal fan reaction.
– My personal Kickstarter Spotlight this week goes to Shadoweyes, Sophie Campbell’s webcomic coming yo print from rising indie publisher Iron Circus Comics.
– As if drawing the Image ongoing “No Mercy” (with Alex DeCampi) and writing/drawing the ‘Finder’ serials in “Dark Horse Presents” wasn’t enough to keep her busy, Carla Speed McNeil is taking time to draw an upcoming issue of Cullen Bunn & Tyler Crook’s “Harrow County”.
