– The second season of Legends of Tomorrow was just bumped up to 17 episodes, from the originally ordered 13 episode season. The season, even expanded, is still someone truncated from the other CW/DC shows, with Supergirl running 22 episodes and The Flash and Arrow eat having 23.
– “Spy Seal: The British Agent,” a comic that Rich Tommaso created when he was a teenager in 1984, has been announced as an series to be published by Image next year.
