Supergirl

Woman of Tomorrow will be Kara’s first book back. The new eight-issue limited series by (a)Bilquis Evely, (a)Mat Lopes and (w)Tom King, launches on June 15. Could this be the book that finally gives me an appreciation for King?

Superman & Lois - Renewed for a second season already. Probably those great ratings.


WandaVision

Asterix

The classic french cartoon strip is getting a series on Netflix. Will be 3d animated and done in France. Will be based on the Asterix and the Big Fight story, where the Romans, after being constantly embarrassed by Asterix and his village cohorts, organize a brawl between rival Gaulish chiefs and try to fix the result by kidnapping a druid along with his much-needed magic potion.
