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.

– Adaptive Studios is getting into the comic book game, as they’re launching Adaptive Comics on the strength of the writing duo of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray to start. The first project will be a graphic novel by the writing duo called “Abbadon”, which is based off a 2011 screenplay Adaptive acquired about a series of grisly murders in an old west town. Their plan is to keep expanding with more comics and graphic novels, and why the hell not. Makes sense.

– This is supremely sketchy: Ian Brill and Christopher Burns, the writer and editor of a 2010/2011 “Darkwing Duck” comic, shared the back story of a new collection of their work that is coming soon from Joe Books, and that collection will apparently be “painstakingly rewritten” without their input. Basically, it’s a supremely sketchy move, and if you enjoyed their work, do not pick up this book. Not a cool move by Joe Books whatsoever.

This “The Legend of Korra” print Geof Darrow made is straight up amazing.

– Graeme McMillan looks at five movies that could also use an additional scene in comic form like “Interstellar” got from writer Christopher Nolan and artist Sean Murphy last week.

– I was really happy to see Brigid Alverson point out Calista Brill’s write-up on the First Second blog about the passing of their copyeditor Manuela Kruger. It’s a lovely little write-up, and it’s always sad to lose part of the comic book family, no matter how quiet or often invisible their work is.

– Could Black Panther get a new ongoing in May? Rich Johnston seems to think so.

– Newsarama speculates that the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver will be Inhumans in “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, but I genuinely don’t really know what the writer uses as proof because I was exhausted from reading something that wasn’t a top ten list.
