“The Change” Introduces a New Superhero Going Through Menopause

Dark Horse Comics has announced The Change, a new graphic novel from writers Whoopi Goldberg and Jaime Paglia, artist Sunkanmi Akinboye, colorist Alexandria Batchelor, and letterer Frank Cvetkovic.

“Isabel Frost is a woman who has spent her life as wife, mother, grandmother – a life she feels isn’t all she had hoped for, with a husband who has grown in another direction. A college graduate with a degree in science, Isabel is an amazing gamer, who plays with people all over the country. With the help of her comic-loving grandson and irreverent best friend, she must learn to control her abilities and embrace her new identity as The Change – both the change of life AND her surprising and extraordinary superpowers.” (Dark Horse)

The Change, featuring a cover by Khary Randolph, goes on sale in bookstores on November 28, 2023, and in comic shops on November 29, 2023.

250(ish) Favorite Arrowverse Episodes: Part 3: 200-176

Picked from „Arrow“, „Black Lightning“, „Supergirl“, „Legends of Tomorrow“, „The Flash“, „Barwoman“ Season 1+2 and „Superman & Lois“ Season 1+2. I did consider kicking „Superman & Lois“ of this list, but since it pretended to be part of the Arrowverse for its first two seasons I left it on here.

So you're growing your foundation.

 186. Livewire (Supergirl 1x4)

4, Written by: Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Caitlin Parrish, Directed by: Kevin Tancharoen

170, Written by: Marc Guggenheim, Beth Schwartz, Directed by: James Bamford

Oliver may be gone, but his mission endures. That mission lives on, Oliver lives on, in the people he inspired. Some will take that mission to the rest of the world...maybe even beyond that. Because if the past eight years has shown us anything...it's that this universe is far bigger than any of us could have dared imagine. Even if it is a little less bright without him in it."

 184. Beyond Redemption (Arrow 4x4)

73, Written by: Beth Schwartz, Ben Sokolowski, Directed by: Lexi Alexander

 "Living in this city, dealing with what we're dealing with right now? We're all desperate. We've all been made to do desperate things. Terrible things. But I got to believe that we are not beyond redemption. And I got to believe that this city can still be saved, 'cause once we stop believing that, that's when this city really dies. And us, us, right along with it. Maybe, just maybe, we start saving our home by saving ourselves first.“

 183. Pilot (Arrow 1x1)

1, Written by: Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg, Directed by: David Nutter

 "The name of the island they found me on is Lian Yu. It's Mandarin for 'purgatory'. I've been stranded here for five years. I've dreamt of my rescue every cold black night since then. For five years, I have had only one thought, one goal: survive. Survive and one day return home. The island held many dangers. To live, I had to make myself more than what I was, to forge myself into a weapon. I am returning not the boy who was shipwrecked but the man who will bring justice to those who have poisoned my city. My name is Oliver Queen."

Eureka's Last Q And A

Eureka’s Last Q And A

This is a transcript of a press event I participated in with Eureka star Colin Ferguson and Executive producer Jamie Paglia as the series ended.

Congratulations on a great, great series so far. So I mean, what do we have to – oh, that’s a basic question – what do we have to look forward to this season on the final season of the show?

Colin Ferguson: I just wanted to say right out of the…

[wilwheaton]

Eleven years ago today, I was playing Dr. Isaac Parrish on Eureka. On this particular day, we had the privilege of working with a legend. @therealstanlee was as gracious, as kind, and as enthusiastic as you hoped he would be. He posed for pictures with dozens of us, as we were temporarily transformed from professional adults to wide-eyed children. Get a load of how hard I'm trying to keep it together! Man, what a gift that entire day was. What a gift. I am such a lucky human. I cherish the memories I have from the years I worked on Eureka. I am so grateful that Amy Berg and Jaime Paglia took a chance on me. And I'm so grateful for the work I got to do, with such a wonderful cast, for so many years. #throwbackthursday (at Vancouver, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSx6No_r6Of/?utm_medium=tumblr

Frankenstein. How a Monster Became an Icon: The Science and Enduring Allure of Mary Shelley’s Creation, edited by Sidney Perkowitz and Eddy von Mueller, Pegasus Books, 2019 (2018). Info: pegasusbooks.com.

Few creations have risen from literary origins to reach world-wide importance like Frankenstein.  This landmark volume celebrates the bicentenary of Mary Shelley’s creation and its indelible impact on art and culture. The tale of a tormented creature created in a laboratory began on a rainy night in 1816 in the imagination of a nineteen-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, newly married to the celebrated Romantic poet Percy Shelley. Since its publication two years later, in 1818, Frankenstein: Or, the Modern Prometheus has spread around the globe through every possible medium and variation. Frankenstein has not been out of print once in 200 years.  It has appeared in hundreds of editions, perhaps more than any other novel. It has inspired a multitude of stage and screen adaptations, the latest appearing just last year. “Frankenstein” has become an indelible part of popular culture, and is shorthand for anything bizarre and human-made; for instance, genetically modified crops are “Frankenfood.” Conversely, Frankenstein’s monster has also become a benign Halloween favorite. Yet for all its long history, Frankenstein’s central premise—that science, not magic or God, can create a living being, and thus these creators must answer for their actions as humans, not Gods—is most relevant today as scientists approach creating synthetic life. In its popular and cultural weight and its expression of the ethical issues raised by the advance of science, physicist Sidney Perkowitz and film expert Eddy von Muller have brought together scholars and scientists, artists and directions—including Mel Brooks—to celebrate and examine Mary Shelley’s marvelous creation and its legacy as the monster moves into his next century.

The MTV scripted drama will return with a brand-new cast, location and producing team as the franchise will focus on a less white story.

MTV is trying its hand again at a Scream reboot.

The Viacom-owned cable network, which recently saw Chris McCarthy tapped to lead the network, is officially retooling the third season of the film-to-TV reboot. The previously announced six-episode third season will feature a brand-new cast, new location and a largely new creative team as the story is poised to become less white.

Behind the scenes, Brett Matthews (The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural) has been tapped as Scream's latest showrunner. (his first time serving as showrunner.) Additionally, Queen Latifah, Shakim Compere and Yaneley Arty will join the series as executive producers via Latifah's Flavor Unit Entertainment banner. Harvey and Bob Weinstein will remain on board as exec producers via Dimension TV, as will Wes Craven, Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley, Marianne Maddalena and Cathy Conrad. Matthew Singer and Keith Levine produce.

Jill Blotevogal and Jaime Paglia steered the series in season one, with Blotevogel reworking the script from Jay Beattie and Dan Dworkin. Michael Gans and Richard Register served as showrunners on season two. It is unclear whether the series will morph into an anthology, after speculation at the start of seasons one and two.

The series will feature an entirely new cast — which insiders say will be more inclusive as the series looks to put a new spin on a proved concept that has not been embraced on the small screen. Season two of Scream averaged only 377,000 total viewers — with seven days of DVR. A premiere date for Scream and its new cast will be announced at a later date. None of the original stars — including John Karna, Carlson Young, Bex Taylor-Klaus and Amadeus Serafini — are returning. Meanwhile, former Scream leading lady Willa Fitzgerald has already moved on with a key role in Fox's Behind Enemy Lines pilot.

Matthews, who served as Joss Whedon's assistant on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, is repped by WME, Management 360 and Jackoway Tyerman.

BOOKS Adventures in Comics and the Real World By GEORGE GENE GUSTINESMARCH 26, 2017 Continue reading the main storyShare This Page Share Tweet Pin Email More Save Photo America Chavez, a Latina and lesbian superhero, stars in a new series. The cover of America No. 1 was drawn by Joe Quinones. Credit Marvel Entertainment America Chavez, a Latina and lesbian superhero, saves an alien planet, enrolls at Sotomayor University and punches Adolf Hitler in the first issue of her new Marvel comic book series. But what’s being celebrated as most fantastic in this comic is that Gabby Rivera, a young-adult author who is gay and Latina herself, is writing the adventures of America. While the comic book industry has been making great strides in its efforts to reflect the real world in its characters, the same has not always been true of their creators, who have typically been straight, white and male. But the ratio of representation continues to change. David F. Walker, who is black, is writing a new Luke Cage series for Marvel that begins in May; that same month introduces a superhero universe from Lion Forge, with a diverse team of creators and characters, including Noble, the flagship hero who is black; and this summer will see the return of Kim & Kim, from Black Mask Studios, about two bounty hunters, one a trans woman, the other bisexual, written by Magdalene Visaggio, who is transgender. They join the growing list of comic book series with diverse characters at the forefront. For a long time, “the American comic book industry has marginalized and excluded the voices of writers of color,” said Joseph Phillip Illidge, a senior editor at Lion Forge Comics. That has caused some fans to ask that characters of color have their stories done by creators of color. When characters and creators share a special bond, there is an increased chance of authenticity. That seems to be the case in Ms. Rivera’s work on America, judging by the early reviews. “One big part of this book’s personality is that it allows America to be totally, unapologetically queer,” wrote Kat Overland on the website Women Write About Comics. “It’s the same with her brownness. She’s Latina, style-wise, speech-wise, everything, and it feels natural.” Continue reading the main story ADVERTISEMENT Continue reading the main story America Chavez’s rise to prominence took some twists and turns. Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta created her in 2011, but she gained popularity as a supporting character later, in two series by two other creative teams (whose writers and artists are also men). With her solo title, the heroine and writer are now in sync. (Mr. Casey and Mr. Dragotta will be presenting an upstart version of their creation in All-America Comix, starring America Vasquez, being published by Image this year.) Photo Last year, DC Comics introduced Kenan Kong, a Chinese teenager with the powers of the Man of Steel, in New Super-Man. The cover of Issue No. 1 is by Viktor Bogdanovic. Credit DC Comics A Latin experience is also at the heart of La Boriqueña, a Puerto Rican heroine created by Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez last year. As a young fan, Mr. Miranda-Rodriguez said that he did not find characters who looked like him, but he managed to forge connections with alien all-American heroes, billionaire orphans and warrior women. Now, as a father of two, he demands more. “When you grow up, not seeing yourself, it slowly eats away at you,” he said.

Credit Lion Forge Comics In the world of independent comics, Love and Rockets, by the brothers Gilbert and Jaime (and sometimes Mario) Hernandez, has been one of the most consistent depictions of Latinos. Fantagraphics has published the series since 1982. “One of the conscious decisions was to have people of color because that’s what I knew growing up,” said Gilbert Hernandez, who is Mexican-American. He noted that the younger generation, which is always more progressive, has come to expect multicultural depictions. Photo Extrano, a gay hero from DC Comics who originally appeared in 1988, was recently given a makeover that many fans have preferred over his initial more stereotypical portrayal. This panel was drawn by Fernando Blanco. Credit DC Comics Having creators and characters be of similar backgrounds may also be an opportunity to right past wrongs. Gene Luen Yang, who is chronicling the exploits of Kenan Kong, a Chinese Man of Steel in New Super-Man, is bringing back a regrettable caricature from 1937. Chin Lung was a “yellow peril” villain who personified fears of the East. “DC used an image that dehumanized an entire group of people to sell comics,” Mr. Yang said in an email. The character would be difficult for most writers to tackle, but Mr. Yang has an edge. “Do I think that it’s easier for a Chinese-American writer to do something like this? Absolutely. It goes back to the homework question. Because I’m a Chinese-American, I got a head start on my homework because I lived it.” A more welcome remake happened recently in the pages of Midnighter & Apollo, from DC Comics, written by Steve Orlando, who is bisexual. Mr. Orlando reintroduced Extrano, a suicidal H.I.V.-positive gay man named Gregorio, who debuted in 1988. Gregorio now shuns his Extrano persona and is more confident. “With a book like Midnighter & Apollo, which from cover to cover is a love letter to queer characters and our struggle to live, be visible and love, it felt right to return to one of the first and reintroduce Gregorio to a new generation,” Mr. Orlando said. While having diversity among creators and characters is a step forward, more needs to be done, said Mr. Illidge, who also writes for Comic Book Resources (cbr.com), where he spotlights diversity in comics and popular entertainment. “The ultimate answer cannot be that people can only write characters that reflect their experience,” he said. “Part of the answer should be that companies that publish books that contain a significant number of characters of color should have a significant number of writers of color in their talent pool.” Ultimately, “the more diverse voices you have in the room, the greater the worldview you’ll get in your fiction.” A version of this article appears in print on March 27, 2017, on Page C1 of the New York edition with the headline: Adventures in Comics and the Real World.
