The Rundown: Survey Says, Emerald City ComiCon More Than Half Women, Creators Respond to New Batsuit, 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.

– According to a survey, more than half the people who attended this year’s Emerald City ComiCon were women. It’s a very cool bit of news, and while it certainly suffers from what many other surveys do – small sample size, not everyone filled out surveys, etc. – it is still very cool news. As someone who went to ECCC this year, I can assure you it was packed with women. More than half being women? Maybe not, but hey! Positive movement!

– Chip Zdarsky recolors the new Batman suit, and I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty great and a big improvement. Very Zur En Arrh!

– Speaking of the new suit, Dean Trippe compares the logos of it and “The Dark Knight Returns” (which everyone is comparing the costume to), and the differences are striking.

– Could the next “Star Trek” be directed by screenwriter Roberto Orci? It seems it’s possible, even though he’s never directed a movie before. Seems like a bold strategy, but what do I know about making movies?

– And the early leader for the biggest “WTF?” moment of the week definitely goes to “All-New X-Men” #27 from tomorrow. Bleeding Cool looks at it, but don’t look if you fear spoilers.

– Want a free copy of “Knuckleheads: Fist Copy” AND a $50 Amazon gift card? You could win that very easily! They are doing a giveaway on the “Knuckleheads” Facebook page, and it’s very easy to enter. Get on that!
