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.
– A bunch of DC news broke this weekend at the Diamond Retailers Summit at Baltimore Comic Con: “Justice League vs. Suicide Squad,” by Joshua Williamson and Tony Daniel will be the first event book of ‘Rebirth,’ Steve Orlando is writing the “Justice League of America” book that will launch next year, and Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are doing a Jetsons title for the Hanna-Barbera line.
– Grant Morrison and Dan Mora’s “Klaus” is coming back this December, in case you wanted more (you probably did).
– Kieron Gillen teased a return to Marvel (saying two issues of his new ongoing have already been written, and one has already been inked), just about a year after saying he was burned out on the publisher at the time.
– We got a first look at Robbie Reyes on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the cast of Riverdale, and both look similar to what I would have expected.
– BOOM!’s “Kong of Skull Island” has been upgraded to an ongoing.
– Syfy’s Krypton has cast its female lead. This statement has nothing to do with that casting, but show isn’t going to be good, is it?
– Rafa Sandoval is the latest DC artist to go exclusive. Congrats, Rafa!
– DC had an unfortunate typo in “The Flash” #4, which has been rectified digitally.
– There will be a new comic tie in to Star Trek: Discovery right around the series’ January 2017 debut.
– Dan DiDio, also at BCC, claims that there are ‘5 or 6‘ DC books written by people of color to be announced in the not-too-distant future from DC. Let’s hope so.
– Marvel’s terribly spelled “Resurrxion” will be the event following the ‘Death of X’ crossover.
– The next DC/Dynamite crossover will be “Wonder Woman ’77 Meets the Bionic Woman.” Every uncle you know is super stoked about this.
– Every quarter, DC will put out its own Previews catalog, made, in part, by ex-Wizard staffers. Will they still publish my envelope art?
– And, finally, hear Rob Liefeld explain why Deadpool isn’t Deathstroke. Rob is totally right; one of those characters is already super played out, and the other is merely on its way.
