CHRISTOPHER PRIEST'S BIGGEST VAMPIRELLA EPIC YET COMING
12/12/24 @ 1:47 pm EST
Source: Dynamite | Categories: Vampirella | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment



Dynamite Entertainment is proud to announce the new phase in the legendary Christopher Priest's take on Vampirella, with a new series and perfect jumping-on point coming this March. Priest is joined by and reunited with the artist who started his run, Turkish virtuoso Ergün Gündüz.

The new story, "The Long Night" will introduce fans to parallel perspectives of the Daughter of Drakulon in the present dealing with a severe case of postpartum depression, even while finally reunited with her previously stolen infant son — and on the other hand a vision into a possible cataclysmic, cyberpunk future brought on by a bitter Vampi's nuclear holocaust!

Attentive fans may recall mentions of "The Long Night" in previous issues of Priest's run as a prophetic nightmare mentioned by Vampirella herself and other characters. It is akin to a "vampire Ragnarök" end of days, said to be brought on by a child of Lilith. When the demon Belial uttered it upon the birth of Draculina, the assumption was that it would be the fate of Vampi's raven-haired, oft-evil sister — and not in fact herself. Priest's other working title for this storyline was "Season of the Witch," referencing the titular antiheroine's spiral into darkness and transformation into the Witch of Ashthorne.

It all kicks into action in March's Vampirella #1 — while keeping a dual "legacy numbering" along the march to #700, marking this issue also as #676 — as a mysterious man going by the name of Cicero appears in Vampirella's life, claiming to be her son from the future. As a timeless vampiress, the Daughter of Drakulon's life extends well past her 50-plus years of publication going back to 1969, yet she still appears young and vibrant. The same logic carries on to her son, with the twist that he's come back from a time of her 100th anniversary!

"I think the best kinds of challenges you can toss at a protagonist are the ones they cannot punch through. There’s way too much boring violence being used to resolve conflict in today’s comics," said Christopher Priest. "Good writing involves conflict but conflict isn’t always about violence. You put your character in a headlock, in a no-win scenario, ideally in a mess of their own making, and then follow them as they resolve that conflict through their strength of character. Vampirella’s present situation, her being suddenly confounded by the unimaginable impact of motherhood, is the direct cause and effect of the future story and the reason her son, an adult many decades in the future, has returned to warn her."

Fans are invited to hop into this new series and celebrate this peek into Vampirella's deep psyche as well as a dark future. The critically acclaimed team of Priest and Gündüz are back once more, joined with head-turning covers from the likes of Lucio Parrillo, Greg Land, Elias Chatzoudis, Jay Anacleto, and cosplayer Rachel Hollon. Rising superstar Mark Spears, beloved for his Monsters series, also contributes covers.





VAMPIRELLA #1 is solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ January 2025 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in March 2025. Comic book fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the book with their local comic book retailers. It will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, ComicsPlus, and more!

WILL MILLY ALCOCK APPEAR IN SUPERMAN?
01/19/25 @ 10:12 am EST
Source: The Hollywood Reporter | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment
It's been well believed for a while that the early casting of Milly Alcock to play Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl was so that the character could debut in this year’s Superman movie. It was also believed that when James Gunn said that he had shown the Superman trailer to an unannounced actress in the film who cried while watching it, that many believed he was speaking of Alcock. People even believe they see Alcock’s reflecting in the damaged robot show in the trailer… if the zoomed in really far that is. All of this could be why when The Hollywood Reporter had their exclusive about David Krumholtz and Emily Beecham joining the now filming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as Kara’s parents, no one really batted an eye when the article said: “Alcock was picked as Supergirl almost a year ago and will first appear in Gunn’s Superman movie. Supergirl gets underway this winter and will shoot in the UK.” Was THR simply stating as fact what everyone has come to expect or was this confirmation of Supergirl returning to the big screen for the first time in over forty years? It would explain why Alcock was cast in the role a year before production on the film began.Milly  
DC STUDIOS WORKING ON AN ELESWORLDS OPENING

DC Studios is working on a logo for the Elseworlds productions that will be different from DC Logo and Fanfare we see at the start of the in-universe projects like Creature Commandos and the upcoming Superman. We know this because co-head of the studio, James Gunn, was asked about it on social media by Jesse T White, “Hey James, If shows like the Penguin and Harley Quinn are now DC Studios shows… why isn’t the DC Studios logo or fanfare attached to them?” To which Gunn replied, “All DC television & film projects are no under DC Studios. Because Harley Quinn was developed long before us we didn’t think it was fair to put the DC Studio fanfare on there. On Penguin, which we had a small hand in developing, we have a different DC Studios animation at the end. We’re currently working on the DC Studios Elseworlds opening.” Having a different opening is more than just a good idea, it would be a way to let audience know for sure at the start of a project whether what they are about to see is part of the main DCU or a stand-alone story.  DC Studios 
MARVEL SNAP GOES DOWN WITH TIKTOK

With the Supreme Court ruling allowing the ban of the social media platform TikTok, the popular site went dark Sunday evening along with their sister site Lemon8. But to many people’s surprise, a popular mobile game, Marvel Snap, was also caught up in the ban. When you try to enter the game there is a message that reads: “Marvel Snap is temporarily unavailable in the U.S. Unfortunately Marvel Snap is temporarily unable on U.S. stores and is unavailable to play in the U.S. This outage is a surprise to us and wasn’t planned. Marvel Snap isn’t going anywhere. We’re actively working on getting the game up as soon as possible and will update you once we have more to share.” Second Diner, the developer of the game were caught by surprise and not warned by their parent company Bytedance. It was believed that Bytedance had divested itself from the TikTok related company Nuverse but apparently not enough and all of Bytedance’s games are being taken off-line. Ben Brode, Marvel Snaps’ Chief Development Officer, is actually recommending that players use a VPN, which can make it seem like you’re playing from Canada, to get around the ban temporarily. It’s believed that this ban will be temporary having to do with the change of political parties in the White House and the CEO of Bytedance has been invited to the next president’s inauguration on Monday.Marvel Snap 
WAS THIS THE JEDI WHO FOUND JOD NA NAWOOD?

There have been reports that a flashback scene had been considered and then passed on in the Star Wars: The Skeleton Crew series that would’ve given us a bit more about the background of Jod Na Nawood (Jude Law) and the Jedi that found him. The reason the scene was cut had to do with the series being told from the kids’ point of view and a flashback wouldn’t make sense. But we may know at least what the Jedi who found Jod would’ve looked like. Actress Yasmine al Massri has posted on social media photos of herself dressed as a Jedi with the following story: “This was the shortest acting job I have done but the most meaningful to the child in me.. playing a Jedi for one scene in Skeleton Crew.. i gave a speech when i crew wrapped me on set saying : you just created the first Arab female Jedi.. thank you.. the scene unfortunately Didn’t make it to the finale cut bc these things happen.. but I can not not share my experience and feelings.. even Liam rehearsed that scene with me and I got to brag about it with his friends which got me

DAVID LYNCH WAS WORKING ON A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES WHEN HE PASSED

According to Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos, visionary filmmaker David Lynch was working on a new limited series for the streamer when he passed away this week. In a social media post praising Lynch, Sarandos talked about meeting the celebrated creator early on when Netflix was still a physical media rental company to his most recent interaction, and of the project Lynch had brought to them a while back. “It was a David Lynch production, so filled with mystery and risks but we wanted to go on this creative ride with this genius. First Covid, then some health uncertainties lead to this project never being produced but we made it clear that as soon as he was able, we were all in.” With Lynch’s passing, Sarandos admitted that he will “always wonder about what he had in mind for us with what would have been his last project.”David Lynch 
PARAMOUNT+ NOT MOVING FORWARD WITH A THIRD SEASON OF FRAISER

The return of a classic sitcom appears to have come to an end. Paramount+ has opted not to renew Fraiser for a third season, though CBS Studios plans to shop the Kelsey Grammer-led comedy to other outlets. Possibilities include Prime Video and Hulu, where the original series are available for streaming. The two seasons so far just couldn’t make a mark on the streaming service that does well with shows created by Taylor Sheridan and variations on Star Trek. It was one of only two original comedies on the platform, the other being Colin From Accounts which is doing well and under a different model. The character of Fraiser Crane began on Cheers before getting a spinoff series that ran from 1993 until 2004. This new series focused on Fraiser later in his life, having moved to Boston to try and reconnect with his son Freddy played by Jack Cutmore-Scott. While the new series featured many new characters, they also brought in familiar faces like Frasier’s ex-wife Lilith played by Bebe Neuwirth and his ex-co-worker Roz played by Peri Gilpin. There was an attempt to entice David Hyde Pierce who played Fraiser’s brother Niles into appearing in the series, but he declined.Fraiser 
'STAR WARS: JEDI KNIGHTS' DEBUTS LONG LOST CHARACTER ATHA PRIME

Source: Marvel | Categories: Star Wars Jedi Knights | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment


A dark new threat is coming to the galaxy far, far away, but true Star Wars fans know he’s been around much longer than anyone might expect! Inspired by unused Return of the Jedi concept art, ATHA PRIME was planned to be the main villain for an unreleased Kenner toy line in the ’80s, one that was intended to continue the success of Star Wars action figures following the release of the Original Trilogy films. Now, decades later, ATHA PRIME will officially debut in Marvel’s upcoming STAR WARS: JEDI KNIGHTS comic series.

Emmy Award-winning screenwriter and acclaimed Star Wars comics writer Marc Guggenheim and rising star artist Madibek Musabekov will introduce the character as a mysterious planet’s tyrannical ruler who boldly opposes the Republic and the Jedi Order. Befitting his legacy, ATHA PRIME is spotlighted on John Tyler Christopher’s Action Figure Variant Cover for STAR WARS: JEDI KNIGHT #1 and will also be featured on Ramon Rosanas’ Foil Variant Cover. ATHA PRIME was also previously teased on Rosanas’ “Sneak Preview” variant cover for Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #1.

“While developing the series, Marc discovered this deep cut—the antagonist from Kenner’s unrealized The Epic Continues toy line,” Editor Mark Paniccia explained. “We saw the original design and were immediately sold. What a cool character to bring into canon and what a perfect book to do it in!”

Hitting stands on March 5, STAR WARS: JEDI KNIGHTS takes place before The Phantom Menace and stars legendary Prequel Trilogy icons like Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and more, including fan-favorite characters and all-new Jedi. Each thrilling issue follows a different Jedi duo on pivotal missions throughout the galaxy, with an overarching threat binding them together. Who is the mysterious new villain targeting Qui-Gon Jinn for death, and how will it force the Jedi Order to evolve for a new age?

“I love the idea that the Jedi are the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy,” Guggenheim said. “But there are surprisingly few examples of that out there — mainly because the Jedi get sucked into the Clone Wars. I’m as much of a fan of the Clone Wars as the next guy, but I really craved seeing the Jedi doing their thing on a non-war footing. That’s the great appeal of this new Jedi Knights series: We really get a chance to see what the Jedi did before the Clone Wars and their eventual fall.”

David Krumholtz, who was recently part of the all-star cast of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, and British actress Emily Beecham have joined the space-faring cast of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which Craig Gillespie is directing for Warner Bros. Discovery arm DC Studios.

The feature, which began shooting this week in DC’s UK production hub of Leavesden, is inspired by the Tom King and Bilquis Evely comic book mini-series and stars House of the Dragon‘s Milly Alcock playing Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman.

It’s unclear how faithful the script by Ana Nogueira is to the comic, which eschewed the traditional good vs. bad tropes and instead was a cosmic character piece, spanning many worlds and alien cultures. The Eisner-nominated 2021 story was told from the perspective of a young alien girl named Ruthye who enlists the aid of Supergirl is a quest of revenge against Krem of the Yellow Hills, the man who killed her father.

Eve Ridley is on the call sheet as Ruthye while Matthias Schoenaerts is Krem. Jason Momoa is due to cameo as alien bounty hunter Lobo.

Krumholtz and Beecham will play Supergirl’s parents. (via THR)

Following the hotly anticipated debut issue of ThunderCats Lost, Dynamite and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products are excited to debut another exciting new character in the ThunderCats mythos in the second chapter!
ThunderCats Lost #2 is set to release April 2 and there's no fooling here! The creative team of Ed Brisson (New Mutants, Predator) and Rapha Lobosco, who started their 'Cats contributions with the Apex special, have cooked up a mysterious new character for fans to get excited about.

"Coming into ThunderCats: Lost, we were pretty confident with the new cast members that Rapha and I introduced in the first issue (Niko and Ligon), but wanted to make sure that our cats had a formidable foe," said writer Ed Brisson. "For certain, Captain Shiner and his army are a force to be reckoned with, but his right-hand, personal mercenary Scorpius is on a completely different level. A one-man army and hunter who knows the danger that cats present for his world and will stop at nothing to ensure that each and every cat is dead and buried. This murder machine is a threat unlike anything that the ThunderCats have faced before."

The lost Thunderan warriors led by Commander Bengali find themselves crashed behind enemy lines in the kickoff to the series. So far they've managed to evade capture, taking refuge in a nearby town. These lands are firmly under the thumb of Captain Shiner and his forces. The only hope that Bengali and the Lost crew have for being rescued is if they can break through Shiner's defenses to return to their damaged ship.

Their big problem is that Shiner's mercenary forces are hot on their collective tails, and being led by one of the most fearsome of all foes. The mysterious and ruthless mercenary Scorpius is living his life by one overriding mission: kill every ThunderCat in his path!

The hunt is on, with the ThunderCat killer on the loose!

ThunderCats Lost #2 features covers by Declan Shalvey, Clayton Henry, Meghan Hetrick, Mark Bagley, and Jae Lee.
