We're inching ever closer towards a new Peter Parker

SKMBT_C55413062109020 I was at HeroesCon a few years back and ran into Jill Thompson. "Whatcha working on, Jill?" I asked. She said it was secret, but showed me a page of art with an island on it. So I guess that Jill Thompson's Wonder Woman project has been a badly kept "Secret" for a while. However on FB yesterday she cleared up what the project is and even gave it a name:

The Oscar winner joins in an undisclosed role

Little girls like superheroes! At least that's what WB's hopes with a while new universe created just for girls aged 6-12. As announced in a news blast the new line will come with heavy hitting partners, including Mattel, which will launch its first ever action figures for girls, Random House and Lego. Dolls for girls! Inconceivable! While the news is a stunner for the long boy-focused DC Entertainment line, with the swift evolution of comics to a co-ed undertaking, it's only good business. Plus, if you hang around Disney long enough you'll notice two things: #1 girl-based licensing programs like Disney Princesses make billions of dollars. #2 people like superheroes. Put em both together and you MIGHT have a winner.

What is Dynamite's announcement for today? A Red Sonja one shot reuniting talents from her run since her 1973 debut, including Roy Thomas, Gail Simone, Luke Lieberman, and Eric Trautmann, along with writer Cullen Bunn and artists Dave Acosta and Rich Buckler. Because when it's a character's 42nd birthday, it's time to celebrate with classic brokeback. Here's a startling fact: Although most often associated with the Conan the Barbarian oeuvre, Red Sonja, as "The She-Devil with a Sword" was actually created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith in an issue of Conan. The character was based on a short story by Conan creator Robert E. Howard called "The Shadow of the Vulture" that featured a character called red Sonya of Rogatine. It was Thomas who figured out how to add her to the Conan mythos.

A second season of Daredevil appears to be in the cards, though its original showrunner won't be returning.

A month or so ago, Oni Press announced that they would start taking Open Submission for new series. This essentially means that ANYONE can send them a comic pitch and someone will eventually look at it. Not too much else was discussed, but it certainly caused a buzz. Today, Oni Press posted their submission guidelines for their first wave and the date when people can let loose the floodgates.
