Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown of comic news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email our team at rundown@multiversitycomics.com.
– It seems like every day there is a new wrinkle to the DC vs Renae De Liz/Ray Dillon feud, but what can we say? It’s a really odd situation. Yesterday, De Liz had this to say on the matter to CBR: ““DC stated ‘challenging relationship’ as the cause for the end of LoWW, which I feel is fair from both sides. I want LoWW readers to know, never once did I knowingly cross any lines, or felt I risked LoWW in any way, which is why I was so shocked by the turn of events. I am a very careful person, and would never have risked it.”
While this is certainly the type of thing you have to say in this situation, after all the information that has been coming out about projects ignored for years by De Liz and Dillon, this sounds like mere lip service. You don’t get to tweet negative things about your employer and then not accept their retaliation, and both De Liz and, especially, Dillon, enjoyed poking the DC bear quite a bit on social media.
– There’s a rumor out there as to the potential lineup of heroes to be featured in Avengers: Infinity War, and it is both interesting and not unexpected. I’m not going to post any names here, for fear of spoilers, but I will say this: Spider-Ham is a bold choice to put on the big screen.
– Both Supergirl and The Flash have previews for the back halves of their seasons. Is it mid-January yet?
– In a move that seems almost too perfect, John Wick is coming to comics, courtesy of Dynamite.
– “Ghostbusters 101” is a new series from IDW, dropping this Spring, that merges both the 1984 and 2016 Ghostbusters teams. I can almost heat my home on all the fan outrage!
– Even when he’s trying to be nice, doesn’t Anthony Daniels sort of seem like a dick?
– And, finally, of all the continuity additions that DC has made since ‘Rebirth,’ this might be the best one yet.
