Image/Skybound Entertainment is pleased to announce an all-new, action-packed series by ShawnKittelsen (Mortal Kombat 11) and Eric Zawadzki (The Dregs, Eternal)—Heart Attack—which will launch this November.

In Heart Attack, gene therapy has saved Americans from disease—only to give birth to Variants: people with powers so unique, the government denies their human rights. But a rebellion has begun… Charlie North is on the run from the police when he crosses paths with Jill Kearney. Instant attraction becomes mass destruction when they unlock powers neither knew they had. Now, the question isn’t how to use them—but how far they’re willing to go.

"Way back in 2014, I had an idea for this series that was all about the future—a nightmare that America could become, if we weren't careful. But in 2019, many of us are living that nightmare daily, in one headline after another—hatred, violence, injustice, disparity, disenfranchisement and more. So while this book is set in the future, it's really about our world today. It's about how people find love in hopeless times, and how our personal bonds inspire the courage to rise against forces bigger than ourselves," said Kittelsen. "I'm super grateful to everyone at Skybound for the time and effort they've put into this series, and for giving me a platform to tell an unconventional sci-fi love story that's more concerned with emotional arcs than action scenes. The best thing about working on this series has been collaborating with Eric. Whatever's in my mind's eye when I'm writing scripts, Eric finds a way to make it more impactful, dramatic, and beautiful. His character performances are award-worthy. It's impossible for me to imagine this book drawn by anyone else. Add Michael's colors to that, and this book is a visual stunner. I can't wait for you all to see what we have in store!"

Superpowers and teenage romance ignite in this electric, original new offering from Skybound Entertainment.

Zawadzki added: "All the politics, fireworks and twists and turns are just the backdrop of a story about two people who find a very special connection with each other. What excites me about this comic is how it uses a sci-fi metaphor to convey that universal feeling of developing a crush on someone new. That feeling of being with that new person in your life is emotionally very powerful and I think we found a unique way of capturing it. Shawn's scripts have been challenging in specific ways that have forced me to grow as a storyteller and that's been very exciting for me. There are certain sequences in this series that I can’t wait to show off. Michael’s colours really capture that vibrant, pop energy that the story requires. And more importantly, his work makes me look better than I actually am.”

Heart Attack #1 (Diamond Code SEP190037) will hit stores on Wednesday, November 20. It can be pre-ordered with your local comic shop or purchased across many digital platforms, including the official Image Comics iOS app, Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, comiXology, and Google Play.

DC and MeTV are bringing fans one of the quirkiest pop-culture mashups of all time when SVENGOOLIE MEETS THE DC UNIVERSE, a series of custom inserts featured in DC comic books on sale throughout the month of October. Each two page “chapter” will be written by DC Publisher and Svengoolie super fan Dan DiDio , with an assist from Svengoolie himself, plus art by Chris Jones.

Svengoolie has been a beloved TV staple since the 1970’s, putting a humorous spin on classic science fiction and horror films from Hollywood history. Since 1979, Rich Koz, a.k.a. Svengoolie has entertained legions of sci-fi and horror fans with comedy sketches, jokes and song parodies; the show has become a highlight of MeTV’s line-up, airing Saturday nights at 8PM/7C.

“This is a dream come true for someone who’s been a life-long fan of DC super-heroes since I first got into comics as a kid,” says Koz. “I couldn’t be prouder to have Svengoolie standing side by side with these iconic characters. I definitely identify with them, too; after all, I have to put on my costume before I can do my job, too!”



On the run from (what else?) an army of homicidal rubber chickens, Svengoolie gets some unexpected help from Wonder Woman and John Stewart, who urge him to get to the Hall of Justice. But before he can make it to safety, he has to survive a showdown against the one responsible for these perilous pullets, The Joker!

“I’m a huge fan of classic sci-fi and horror movies and I grew up with Svengoolie,” said DiDio. As a fan and a publisher, I never thought I’d have a chance to have Svengoolie in our books, let alone write the story. This is a fantastic opportunity and I couldn’t be more excited.”

Fans attending New York Comic Con will get a chance to learn more about this comic and celebrate Svengoolie’s 40th anniversary during a special tribute panel hosted by Dan DiDio on Friday, October 4 from 2:45-3:45pmET at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, room 1A24.

Deadline reports that Cara Buono (Stranger Things) and Mitch Pileggi (The X-Files) have been cast in recurring roles as ancient aliens in the fifth season of Supergirl, The CW series that returns on Oct. 6.

Buono will recur as Gamemnae, an ancient alien, who with others of her kind, have been safeguarding the Earth from the follies of humanity throughout the ages. Gamemnae’s aim is to use technology to subjegate humans. Gamemnae is cunning, witty, ruthless, and always ten steps ahead of her adversaries. Gamemnae’s agenda puts her into conflict with her would-be allies and on a collision course with Supergirl.

Pileggi will recur as Rama Khan, an ancient alien who is able to control the four ancient elements — fire, water, earth, and air. Arrogant and willful, Rama Khan has been entrusted to use his powers to protect the Earth from mankind for millions of years but now his agenda puts him at odds with Supergirl as well as Lena Luthor.

The two characters were introduced in 2002 in the DC Comics series called JLA, an acronym for the Justice League of America. In the comics their ancient magic and grand schemes are tied to Atlantis, the fabled city that exists beneath the waves of the ocean.

After playing Wolverine in nine movies across 17 years, Hugh Jackman established the character as one of the most popular and iconic that the superhero genre has ever seen, with his swansong in Logan delivering what is arguably one of the best comic book movies ever made. Despite seemingly hanging up the adamantium claws and riding off into the sunset though, there’ve always been rumors that the Australian actor could be tempted to suit up one more time, especially with Marvel Studios now possessing the big screen rights to the X-Men.

The mutants are inevitably going to show up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point in the future, and whoever plays Wolverine will undoubtedly be under the most intense scrutiny given how closely Jackman is linked to the character. That being said, we’re now hearing that the door is still open for the 50 year-old to continue playing Logan once the X-Men join the MCU.

Recent reports indicated that Marvel was looking at adapting the iconic Wolverine vs. Hulk storyline as one of their upcoming projects and apparently the studio is hoping that Jackman will return for the film. (via We Got This Covered)

Marvel’s announcement of Thor: Love and Thunder at SDCC surprised us all as it was revealed Natalie Portman was returning to the franchise as Jane Foster.

The Oscar-winning actress hasn’t been seen in the MCU since 2013’s Thor: The Dark World – her Avengers: Endgame cameo utilized old footage – and given that Ragnarok moved away from the first two Thor films, we assumed the fourth one would continue to do its own thing.

However, it’s looking like Portman will be joined by another star of the early movies in Love and Thunder, as We Got This Covered is reporting that Kat Dennings will reprise her role as Darcy Lewis in the film.

Sources say that she’ll definitely be back, though the specifics on her part in Taika Waititi’s pic are currently unknown.

Deadline reports that Cannes Best Actress 2019 winner Emily Beecham (Little Joe) has joined Disney’s live-action prequel Cruella.

Previously announced are Emma Stone as de Vil, Emma Thompson, Paul Walter Hauser and Joel Fry.
