The Rundown: Matt Nable is Ra’s Al Ghul in “Arrow”, the New “Thor” Preview Looks Fantastic, and more

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.

– “Arrow” has cast its Ra’s Al Ghul, as Australian actor Matt Nable will be playing the head of the demon in the show. He’s set to debut in the role in the fourth episode of the season, and while I am unfamiliar with the actor, he certainly fits the look of the character. Sooo…yay!

– This preview for the new “Thor” book proves two things: the new logo is super badass and Russell Dauterman is a god damn boss. That guy is a hell of a breakout talent if you ask me.

– Oh hey, would you like a free preview of Scott Snyder and Jock’s “Wytches”? I bet you would.

– Oh my godddddd, these 90’s X-Men POP! figures Funko is putting out are the best. I want them all, but Professor X most of all.

– 13th Dimension has an interview with the brilliant Greg Smallwood about the new team on “Moon Knight”, along with an exclusive preview of issue #8 from him and Brian Wood.

– ReedPOP is partnering with Comic Con India to help expand both groups brands, and help expand the comic con experience throughout India. ReedPOP really is getting their fingers into every pie, aren’t they?

– Nothing says stop bullying people like variant covers do, so thankfully, Marvel is finally filling that void.

– This article on BusinessWeek about female fans giving boosts to comic publishers is adorable, mostly in that it fits the mold of the many, many articles that are coming out from mainstream pubs that try really hard to understand “comic strips” but kind of struggle at it. Good job. Good effort.
