– Black Mask Studios have announced “Billionaire Killers,” a new series from writer Matteo Pizzolo (“Calexit“) and artist Soo Lee (“Fantomah”). Set in the same universe as Pizzolo’s “Young Terrorists,” the series follows Sera and Pru, two teenage heiresses who realize they don’t have to be as immoral as their predecessors and declare war on the oligarchy. The first issue is out March 28.

– Writer Amy Chu (“Poison Ivy: Cycles of Life and Death”) and artist German Erramouspe (“Grimm”) are relaunching “Green Hornet” at Dynamite Entertainment in March. The comic will have Kato’s daughter Mulan donning Britt Reid’s outfit when he goes missing. Erramouspe said the artwork will be heavily inspired by painter Edward Hopper.

– Following the cancelation of several Marvel titles, “Luke Cage” writer David F. Walker confirmed February’s “Luke Cage” #170 will be the last in the current series, after just ten issues and a renumbering as part of ‘Marvel Legacy.’ He confirmed the book sold “very poorly,” and expressed sadness that Marvel was not doing enough to promote comics to kids and fans of other media.

– In more cancelation news, Image have pulled “Spawn: A Holiday Krampus Tale,” which was set to come out January 3, while Black Mask have canceled the planned collections of “Godkiller: Tomorrow’s Ashes” and “Mayday.” However, all of these titles may be resolicited sometime next year.

– Similarly, Vault Comics denied a mistaken report that “Heathen” #8 had been canceled indefinitely, confirming the title will be resolicited for April. “We will always give [writer/artist] Natasha [Alterici] as much time as she needs to see her vision through,” said editor-in-chief Adrian Wassel.

– Lion Forge have announced “Spark,” a trilogy of graphic novels for early 2019 written by Ted Anderson (“My Little Pony”) and drawn by Aysha Rincon. The series is about Lucia Marquez-Miller, a STEM loving fourth grader who fights crime alongside a group of teenage superheroes called the Starlights.
