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.
– Gail Simone is set to write an arc of “Savage Wolverine” with a current TBA artist, and that’s the second job she’s taken with Marvel in recent months. I have to wonder if she’s going to keep taking more work with them, and I personally hope so. I think she has an exceptional voice that would fit on one of Marvel’s mid-tier books like “Hawkeye” or “She-Hulk”. Of course, not saying she should take over one of those, but to do her own one along those lines.
– Comics Alliance has an exclusive look at two covers for “The Wicked and the Divine” #1 from Jamie McKelvie and Matt Wilson, and these things are freaking gorgeous. You have to check them out.
– Robert Kirkman is becoming even more of a multi-hyphenate, as he’s set to produce an upcoming sci-fi film titled “Air”, which is going to star “The Walking Dead” actor Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou. I have to wonder if at a certain point this is going to start impacting his writing, but time will tell.
– Caliber Comics, formerly the home of creators like Brian Michael Bendis and Ed Brubaker, is returning after an extended absence, although in a slightly different capacity than before. Robot 6 has the full details.
