AMC has released the first trailer for it’s new series Preacher, an adaptation from the Garth Ennis title. Being a cable channel I’m sure AMC will stretch the boundaries like the do with the Walking Dead, but will have to stay confined to a degree. If they did a true adaptation this would have to be on HBO or some other paychannel. However, as good as AMC has done with the Walking Dead, Preacher might be another hit for them. This is one wickedly twisted story…check out the trailer through AMC’s YouTube channel:

Justice League is on the Small Screen Again?
An interesting tidbit coming to us from ICv2. The website World’s Finest posted a tweet which is believed to be from a representative of Cartoon Network Canada that the network will start airing a new Justice League series this next Fall 2016. It is possible since Warner Bros. Animation is tied pretty close with Cartoon Network and in early 2016, the Batman v. Superman movie hits. So this is one of those items that we will just have to wait and see. But it wold be fun to have the Justice League back on the air.
Bestselling Author writing New Black Panther Series
Black Panther returns to the shelves in a new comic book series in Spring of 2016. Best of all bestselling author Ta-Nehisi will be writing the first year long story arc entitled “A Nation Under Our Feet”. Illustrations for the series will be provided by Brian Stelfreeze. Thanks to ICv2 for the heads up.
Wonder Woman Feature Film
Deborah Snyder, the producer, of the Wonder Woman feature film announced that principal photography will begin in November for the movie. Gail Gadot will reprise her role as Wonder Woman and the film is slated to debut in June of 2017. Thanks to ICv2 for this update and I am hopeful that a DC Comics Universe in the movies can be finally realized.
Dark Knight III: The Master Race
I know this hasn’t even hit the shelves yet, but this is one that library’s and if you personally like graphic novels instead of comic books it will be collected into a single volume. I’m talking about Dark Knight III: The Master Race by Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello. If you are like me and have the floppys I will be getting the individual issues to go along with the other two mini-series. I’m a Batman fan so you know I’ll be there.
