Pregnant Joker is a thing! The most recent and noteworthy development in the DC Comics universe is that Joker is expecting a child. Because of this, the anchors of Fox News were driven to a state of rage. The extreme right is under the impression that this is some kind of left-wing propaganda or another type of plot. You won’t have any trouble finding thousands of people venting their frustrations at Joker’s pregnancy. I am not offended in the traditional sense, but I do think the concept is ridiculous. However, rather than waste my time screaming about it, I will simply not read it.
April will shower this planet with DC goodness, as proven by the latest three-month-early solicitation released by the superhero factory today. Welcome to the DC Comics Solicitations April 2023!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin was a huge success for IDW. To refresh, it’s a lost story written by Kevin Eastman from back in the day that never got produced, until the publisher found out about it and got the right people together to finish it. Within no time, it hit the NYT Bestseller List. To keep the money rolling in and stretch this as far as they can, IDW has been coming out with deluxe editions and director’s cuts and even a book consisting of nothing but the covers. But an actual continuation seemed out of the question; to make that happen they’d have to convince Eastman to write another story and that probably won’t —- never mind, it just did.
IDW’s printed Star Trek comics for a while now, and so far has resisted the urge to publish massive crossover events between them but…they finally caved. 2023 will see the first storyline planned to wrap its way across every Trek comic IDW prints: Day Of Blood. The crossover will include their regular Trek comic as well as the newly launched Star Trek: Defiant.
No one pays much attention to the occupations Street Fighter characters are on the record as having — and they make little sense when focused on. Chun-Li, for example, is supposed to be an Interpol agent. How many Interpol agents tend to dress like that? Cammy is also supposedly a secret spy, working for M16 in London. We never see them working these jobs because their side hobby of entering worldwide fighting tournaments to thwart the plans of M. Bison gets all the attention.
This February Top Shelf Productions will release Ashes, a new graphic novel from internationally renowned Spanish cartoonist Álvaro Ortiz. Top Shelf provided us with a special preview of the upcoming book — you can check out the first six pages below.
As we reported earlier, DC’s Batman and Image’s Spawn are teaming up (again) to commemorate the latter character’s 30th anniversary. But the underworld superhero isn’t just waving his cape around Gotham…he’s running all over the DCU and taking selfies with everybody. Collectively, DC and Image are publishing over 75 crossover covers this month, some related to Batman/Spawn and some not. It’s a new record for the most crossover covers sold in one month.
Stanley Lieber, one of just three men who could claim to have singlehandedly defined the Silver Age of comic books, would be 100 years old if he was still alive today. And he almost made it!
You thought we’d seen the last of The Last Ronin, the lost Ninja Turtles story that Kevin Eastman and IDW resurrected last year. But it sold well. REALLY well. New York Times bestseller list well. Well enough for an additional book consisting of just the series’ covers to be a thing.
There are no lambs in DC’s March 2023 lineup, revealed today. It’s lions all the way through!
There’s a new movie set in the world of Dungeons & Dragons coming soon, and it’s not the first one. But way before any other type of media existed, way back in the early 80s, when the game itself was young, there was just ONE Hollywood interpretation of D&D. For many, it was their introduction to the notion that the game existed. We’re talking, of course, about the Saturday Morning cartoon.
