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.
– It’s been astonishing to see the recent reimagining of “Archie” become such a beloved comic all over the internet. How Mark Waid and Fiona Staples were able to take these characters that have been around for decades and make them fresh and new and have them speak to the young audience of today. Well, we all knew Fiona Staples was only going to be on the series for the first arc and she was followed up by Annie Wu for an issue, but now Entertainment Weekly have announced that Veronica Fish will be the series’ regular artist. This is some pretty cool news.
– Have you been waiting around with baited breath for Slade Wilson to return to Arrow? Well, be prepared to wait a while long as Marc Guggenheim says he’s tied up in another DC project. Now, what that means is pure speculation, but I have to wonder if this is confirmation of those theories that Ben Affleck is playing Deathstroke disguised as Batman? I mean… it’s not, but I just think that would be hilarious.
– I’ve mentioned in the past that I wasn’t too impressed with the costume we saw in Marvel’s Daredevil. Even seeing shots of it in the second season, I still think it’s a little too black. Which is sad because this concept art for the costume shows one that feels way more in line with the comics costume. It even has the DD symbol! Ah, well, the things we do for the pursuit of grittyness.
– It’s been a long time coming, but we’re finally going to see Danielle Panabaker suit up as Killer Frost in The Flash. While I don’t think it’s in a way that any of us where expecting, here’s an interview with her about becoming a villain.
– Finally, have you ever want to hold a Star Wars dance party? Well, now you can! I guess that’s a thing now.
