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.

– Venom, aka Flash Thompson, is the other, shrouded member joining Guardians of the Galaxy in the Free Comic Book Day story, and the events of this book and beyond are supposed to lead into some gigantic Spider-Man event. What could it be? I’m not sure, but I can say this: I am disappointed that it isn’t actually Optimus Prime like I was hoping.

– Eric Powell created a deleted scene for the incredible Bill Murray comedy “Groundhog Day” that shows one potential day we missed from Phil’s journey in the movie, namely one such showdown with Ned Ryerson, an insurance salesman that happens to know Phil. The results are amazing.

– Idris Elba once had a conversation with Marvel about him playing Luke Cage. Now that they’re making a Luke Cage film, I really hope that they have that conversation again and make it happen because that is AWESOME.

– Periscope Studios is having an art-book centric Kickstarter featuring the work of Erika Moen, Paul Guinan, Natalie Nourigat, Benjamin Dewey, David Hahn and Ron Randall. It’s well worth checking out AND supporting, but I’m super bummed that Nourigat’s level sold out because Tally is the best! That said, the Dewey $500 level is very, very appealing to me as well. I may run a Kickstarter that crowd sources payment to afford that.

– Katrina Law from “Spartacus” will be playing Nyssa Al Ghul – the other Al Ghul daughter – in the upcoming season of “Arrow”.

– Apparently the prologue featuring the Dark Elves in Thor: The Dark World was directed by the man who is set to direct the Deadpool film, named Tim Miller. Bleeding Cool has the story, and it sounds like he did some rather incredible work in bringing that segment to life.

– The Hooded Utilitarian, aka Noah Berlatsky, writes a very fair and balanced piece about the whole Brian Wood/Tess Fowler saga and the greater issues that surround it. So far to me this has been a bit of a cluster of he said/she said, but Berlatsky’s approach was refreshingly even-keeled for such a controversial subject.
