We need to be clear that Free Comic Book Day 2021 was intended to take place on Saturday 14th August. Because of issues with shipping we have moved Free Comic Book Day to 28th August.
That Lawsuit:
Scarlet Johansen is suing Disney. More HERE.
Batman 89 costume News!
It was the late eighties. Regie thought Batman was the Acme of reasons superheroes were stupid. Then Tim Burton made BATMAN and his view changed forever.
So now, the release of character designs for a comic that continues the Tim Burton movies?! There is a lot of enthusiasm.
More HERE.
And actually, given that Batdance is an awful, awful track, we'll throw in Party Man too...
That's better. Seriously, late eighties Prince was the absolute best - and we reckon you can wee what we mean about basing the Joker on him...
There was some discussion of the Ms Marvel costume for the show. Read more HERE.
DC 2022 book releases - Denny O'Neil's Question
Regie was excited about several forthcoming releases of collections from DC, but he was most exercised by the promise of Denny O'Neil and Andy Cowen's The Question. Read more HERE.
Missing Marvel
There are a bunch of Marvel series that were promised and have disappeared and worse, series that started but will never finish. Shame on Marvel. Details HERE.
COMICS RECOMMENDATIONS:
SCIENCE
FLYING BABY PTERASAURS!
Regie was excited by new research that suggests that ptereasaurs may have been able to fly straight out of the egg. More on that HERE.
Finally, Regie mentioned that FREE COMIC BOOK DAY which was scheduled for Saturday 14th August has been moved - at least at Destination Venus - to Saturday 28th August as a result of difficulties with the shipping of the Free Comic Book Day comics. If you're not in Harrogate, check with your Local Comics Store to see how they are dealing with the issue.
