I never watched the Melissa Joan Hart series, but I knew all about it.
This new series is based on The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina comic. No idea if it will be part of the Riverdale universe or not, but it should be fun.
From DC: Zatanna Zatara is one of the most powerful magicians to walk the Earth, capable of altering the fabric of reality with one backwards word.
But what was she like in college?
If you’ve ever been a college student, you know it’s a highly unique time in a person’s life. You’re a newly minted adult, free to make your own choices, but those choices are complicated by the fact that you haven’t yet settled into the person you’ll ultimately become. It’s an unpredictable and wild time in most people’s lives. So imagine what it’s like when magic is thrown into the mix.
This is the background of MYSTIK U, an upcoming prestige-format limited series written by Alisa Kwitney (Destiny) and drawn by Mike Norton (Revival, Runaways) that will reimagine the lives of four of DC’s magic users in spectacular new ways. To give us the background on this unique new title, we spoke with both Alisa and Mike about what readers can expect when classes start this fall.
I LOVE, LOVE the art I have seen far.
Hell. I am in for punk-Goth Teenage Enchantress alone!
Writer Alisa Kwitney and drawn by Mike Norton can be found online at @akwitney and @themikenorton respectively.
To say I am looking forward to this is an understatement.
This is exactly the sort of thing I was waiting for in Zatannurday's long run. A new DC Animated movie of Justice League Dark.
This isn't exactly JLD, it's more Justice League Dark + Batman, but it still looks cool.
It's also rated R, which I guess is not a big surprise given the content.
The fall season is upon us! That means more DC on TV. Which I am super-excited for. But what I am REALLY looking forward to is the new Doctor Strange movie.
Last week we lost a great. Darwyn Cooke died after a brief but aggressive battle with cancer.
I loved Darwyn's style and his heroes always looked like they were happy to be heroes. They were the best versions of the characters. Maybe not always the version we wanted to see, but better than the "grim-dark" heroes so many artists (and filmmakers) seem to want to do.
I loved how he always showed Wonder Woman smiling.
And of course when she didn't need to be.
He knew how to make Selena sexy cool.
And of course he knew how to draw Zatanna.
But I enjoyed Minutemen Before Watchmen Comics the most.
Silhouette became something else under his care.
But this video was also something he did well. For Batman's 75th Anniversary.
We are going to miss you Darwyn. You and your influence on the DCU.
The new Doctor Strange trailer came out this week.
Doctor Strange is easily my favorite Marvel character.
I liked the idea of this brilliant man of science and medicine thrown into a world he couldn't understand at first.
Plus all that 60's and 70's occult vibes to the early comics and art by Steven Dirko? Yeah that is right up my alley.
Now we have our first trailer out and I am excited as hell.
Looks like we are sticking pretty close to the classic Dr. Strange origin story here too.
Benedict Cumberbatch is opting for an American accent here, which tracks with Strange's character as being a New Yorker. Tilda Swinton makes an interesting choice as The Ancient One, but a good choice in my mind. Plus we get Mads Mikkelsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor (as Mordo no less!), and Rachel McAddams...that is some top-shelf acting talent.
This is going to rock.
I hope though they keep the horror and occult themes I loved about this comic.
Say what you like about the failed Peter Hooten movie, it was some scary shit for 1978 TV.
We have been using Pinterest at work a lot lately, so naturally I also started "pinning" things I liked on my own accout.
There has been an applet on the side of my blog for some time now to see things I am pinning real time. But here is the collection of all my Zatanna related pins.
We have the new Dawn of Justice movie coming out, the Legends of Tomorow TV series and Suicide Squad movie. It is shaping up to be a good 2016 for DC fans.
So in celebrations of these notable team-ups here is Zee teaming up with some other heroes.
In case you have been living in a bunker in Mojave, here is the trailer for the newest movie in the DC Cinematic Universe.
I think it looks great. First up the sneak peek.
I am going to say....dream sequence or Bruce worrying about a future where Superman has gone rogue, but not something that actually happens.
Now the trailer. There is more than just a little bit of fan service in this.
So I am going to call it. Ben Affleck is going to rock as Batman. He already seems to have Bruce Wayne down and his voice is not Christian Bale's gargling with battery acid and gravel voice.
But seriously. Let's take a moment and marvel how FREAKING AWESOME Gal Gadot is looking as Wonder Woman. I am even enjoying Jesse Eisenberg as Lex. I LOVE Bruce's reaction when he says "Lex"...he has nothing but contempt for him.
The December 2015 issue of Empire is coming out and the covers feature characters from the upcoming Suicide Squad movie, including Carla Delevingne as the Enchantress.
Enchantress, aka June Moone, is also one of the magical using types in Justice League Dark. From the brief interviews it sounds like we are going to see a bit of June before she becomes (or is taken over by) the Enchantress.
Let's not forget that Marvel also has an Enchantress. She likes wearing green too.
I make no excuses for my love of Spider-Gwen. In fact she really is one of the very few Marvel characters I like these days enough to talk about here. Yeah, I like the movies and REALLY looking forward to Doctor Strange, but I would really love an Emma Stone starring Spider-Gwen movie.
Apparently I am not alone.
No chance in hell we will ever see this. But fans can always hope right?
I have mentioned earlier this summer about my love for Spider-Gwen and more times than I care to think about about my love for Batgirl.
Well here they are together. Personally I would like to think that super-smart Barbara and super-smart Gwen Stacy would be BFFs, if in a sort of rival-ly way. So here they are together.
