Welcome back to The Rundown, our daily breakdown on news stories we missed from the previous day. Have a link to share? Email me at david@multiversitycomics.com.
– File this one under WTF: over at Comics Alliance, they talk about how Marvel has contracted Feld Entertainment – the group who basically manages the biggest circuses in the country – to create a live Marvel show for them. What exactly that entails is uncertain, but it’s undoubtedly going to be weird.
– Oh Rich Johnston, your rumors are so juicy they entertain me. Yesterday, he talks about a rumor he’s heard strong winds about that suggests DC will be canceling SIXTEEN of their books worst performing books towards the end of the year, to be replaced by four weekly books – one of Batman, Superman, Justice League and Green Lantern apiece – with rotating creative teams. I’d imagine this on top of their existing books. This rumor is admittedly (by Rich) soft, but at the same time, it actually makes a lot of sense for DC. Those books sell. Why not only make those books instead of things like Katana or Vibe? Hilarious and strange things there, my friends.
– Over at We Fine Tees, they’re getting in the swing of things with everyone’s part time awesome dude, part time Avenger – Hawkeye. Check out their array of t-shirts, which are pretty awesome if you’re into that sort of thing.
