WE HAVE NEWS ABOUT THE RE-OPENING OF DESTINATION VENUS! We can't tell you much, because we aren't announcing the date yet - but here's the road map we have so far: We're not re-opening on 4th July, because the cinema isn't - so you will have to wait for us a little longer. We have a date for the re-opening of the Everyman Harrogate, but they haven't announced it yet and we don't want to scoop them. When we do re-open, initially at least, hours will be limited and as a result

NO VIDEO TODAY - WE'RE STILL EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES RIP MILTON GLASER If you're not a design nerd, you might not have heard of Milton Glaser, who has died aged ninety one. From a comics point of view, he's the guy who designed the "DC Bullet" logo - this one: This is still the logo I think of when I think of DC Comics. Others may know him for this: His name may not be well known - but his work will live on. WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHEN WE'RE RE-OPENING, BUT EXPECT NE

NO VIDEO TODAY - WE'RE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN Or at least they will be soon - the second season of the TV adaptation of Garth Ennis's foul mouthed, blasphemous, politically incorrect, purile, violent and gratuitously offensive masterpiece hits Amazon Prime on 4th September. We confess to having thoroughly enjoyed season one, having previously thought the series to be unfilmable. It certainly shows the adaptation of Ennis's other opus Pre

ANOTHER GIANT LEAVES US. REST IN PEACE JOE SINNOTT Joe Sinnott, one of the finest inkers ever to grace a comics page has left us aged 93. Perhaps best known for his work inking over Jack Kirby - notably on The Fantastic Four, Sinnott's relationship with Marvel actually stretched right the way back to 1951, in the days when the company was still publishing under the Atlas Comics label. There will be more detailed obituaries written about this great artist today, and tributes f

CONNECT WITH DC TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE BRINGING OUT IN JULY AND AUGUST As you may know, DC comics are no longer being distributed by Diamond in the US, and although Diamond UK will be handling DC until at least the end of the year, they will no longer be listed in Previews. DC (which, like Marvel has had its product listed in a separate catalogue distributed alongside Previews for some time) is now taking it's catalogue entirely in house with the launch of DC Connect. We have no

MICHAEL KEATON TO REPRISE HIS ROLE AS BATMAN!!!!!!!!!! Not a drill! Not an imaginary story! Keaton is in talks to return to his role as Batman in the Flash movie - which looks like it's going to be based on the "Flashpoint" story line, meaning he might well not be the only Batman. Given the less than positive views regarding the DCEU's output so far I wouldn't be surprised if they were to use the Flashpoint concept as a bit of a soft reboot - allowing them to keep the bits th
