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.
– On the day of the Arrow finale – as well as the reveal of the new Supergirl trailer, a lot of details started to emerge for the next season (and beyond) of DC’s TV programming.
– Titans has been delayed a bit. Originally intended for a fall debut, the series now “might” go to pilot this summer, which means that, at best, it would be a mid-season debut, if not a fall 2016 debut. TNT president Kevin Reilly claims that the show will be ‘very close’ to the source material, which is believed to be “New Teen Titans” by Marv Wolfman and George Perez.
– Preacher, on the other hand, has begun filming, and shows off its Glenn Fabry art-adorned slate.
– It appears that Constantine is in discussion to join…the CW? Stephen Amell wants it, so why not?
– Although Michael Fassbender’s contract to star in X-Men films ends with the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, he says he would “shoot a hundred of them” if asked. Get to work on that contract, Fox!
– It was reported earlier in the week that that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off was dead. What this AV Club article presupposes is…maybe it isn’t?
– Marvel might have high hopes for that spin-off, but the main show’s ratings have never been worse. Oof – that’s a shame.
– But fear not, Marvel – a high profile creator who has done a lot of work for you will turn in some ratings gold in the near future: Matt Fraction will be on Late Night with Seth Meyers on May 21!
– O.G. April O’Neil spotted alongside new school April O’Neil on the TMNT 2 set!
– Moving away from adaptations and onto actual comics, Jason Aaron talks with CBR about the revelation of Thor’s new identity, and teases a bit about “Thors,” his “Secret Wars” tie in.
– Dark Horse has announced “This Damned Band,” set in the 1970s about the rise of an occult-influenced band, from Paul Cornell and Tony Parker. Sign me up!
– Marc Guggenheim, DC TV overlord, has a new comic over at Legendary, illustrated by Freddie Williams II. “The Infinite Adventures of Jonas Quantum” is an ongoing, and debuts in September.
– New York Comic Con tickets are always a little hard to come by, but this seems ridiculous.
– And, finally, if you need me this weekend, I’ll be trying to make this “Chips and Sith” dip.
