Preview: Batman #40

“Super Friends” – Part Four
Writer: Tom King
Artists: Joelle Jones & Jordie Bellaire
 Article by Steve J. Ray
Tom King has given us some truly memorable Batman stories over the last couple of years. His recent “Super Friends” arc has refreshed the Batman/Superman relationship brilliantly, and given Catwoman even greater depth.
At the end of Batman #39, readers were left with a classic cliffhanger. Off in another dimension, where decades pass in the blink of an eye, Bruce and Wonder Woman seemed to have escaped the friend zone, and finally locked lips.
Could this be the end of the Bat/Cat wedding? Would the Dark Knight and the Princess Of Power become DC’s new “It” couple?
The preview pages below seem to answer this question, but I’d be surprised if these events didn’t have future ramifications.
Friends To The End
Here’s what DC Entertainment have to say about next week’s issue:
“SUPERFRIENDS” part four! Since the beginning, the friendship between Batman and Wonder Woman has stood at the heart of the DC Universe. Now that friendship is coming apart, and as it does, the universe itself begins to crumble. The conclusion of Batman’s team-up with Wonder Woman.
As always, the art of Joelle Jones and Jordie Bellaire has me hungry for more. I can’t wait to read what happens after page 5!
With DC announcing Brulena’s impending nuptials in Batman #50, and with the Joker set to interrupt the proceedings in DC Nation #0, we have ten issues of thrills and surprises still waiting for us, before the comics wedding of the decade.
I really hope that they save me a slice of cake!
Batman #40 arrives in comic shops next Wednesday, February 7.

Mystic Muses: A D&D Podcast

Image
Article by Philip Clark An all queer cast. An all femme ensemble. A non-binary Dungeon Master. Throw in some quality story-telling and role playing too, this sounds like a whole lot of fun! If any of the previously mentioned things has piqued your interests, then I implore you to check out Mystic Muses. You can find this wonderfully crafted podcast where you can find all your other favourites including Spotify. There are currently four episodes out. Episode 0 is the prologue and character introductions, and I have to say it is very well put together!

Then come the delicious character introductions that give vivid descripti...

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Image
Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
