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 either david@multiversitycomics.com or brian@multiversitycomics.com.
– There was always going to be speculation that Wonder Woman would show up in the new Superman/Batman movie from DC, but the rumor mill has been churning overtime after news that Jaimie Alexander, Sif in this weekend’s Thor: The Dark World, has had “discussions” with DC about appearing in one of their films. Could there be a Wonder Woman appearance in the film, potentially leading to her own film, or the long rumored Justice League film? Is it 2015 yet?
– The “All-New X-Factor” cast gets close to a full reveal today via a scan of two pages of Marvel’s Previews. Only the hooded figure remains a mystery. Any thoughts to who it may be?
– Diane Nelson is holding to the position that no one from DC will be laid off when the company moves west. This is surely good news, though I’m sure it still will lead in many folks not making the move for a variety of reasons.
– Remember Muppet Babies? Remember Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n Wrestling? Ever dreamed about a crossover? The upcoming Camp WWE looks about a close as you’ll get.
– A Kickstarter has been launched for “True Patriot 2,” an anthology of Canadian superhero stories. J. Torres is the main man behind it, but the collection of talent contributing is quite impressive, including Jeff Lemire, Ramon Perez, J. Bone, Faith Erin Hicks, and Tom Fowler.
– The Good Reads awards has nominated “Relish” by Lucy Knisley, of which we are big fans, for their “Best Food and Cookbooks” category. Go vote for it!
– And finally, Matt Fraction by Skottie Young.
