by Olly MacNamee
Okay, here we go again another Saturday and another rundown of our more popular spots from this past week. Enjoy, stay safe and stay well.
- The top tidbit of comic book news this last week was the announcement of a return to the Watchmen universe and a Rorschach 12 issue maxi-series by Tom King and Jorge Fornés coming this Fall from DC Black Label and set 35 yards after the original series. Read more about this announcement here.
- Also in comic book news this week was the announcement that The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers would be spinning out into two new teams and an all-new series, Mighty Morphin rom IDW. More here.
- The news of a scientifically funded Covid-19 online comic book, Planet Divoc-91, aimed at entertaining and educating was met with a lot of readers’ interest. If you missed out, read up about it now.
- We posted a few interviews up this week, with Tito W James talking with Becca Hillburn about her current crowdfunded 7” Kara here.
- Another crowdfunding creator we spoke with this week was Natasha Kennedy talking about her campaign for her creator-owned comic book Tempest here.
- Not one of our favorite comics of the week, but people still read our review of Fantastic Four #21 which I described as an “unnecessary Empyre tie-in”. Read it for yourself here.
- In Movie News, Ben Martin took a very long, hard look at Batman: Forever, which celebrated 25 years this year. A well researched and informative article and available to read here.
