Gotham by Gaslight is a DC Comics one-shot by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola, with inks by P. Craig Russell. It spawned a sequel, Master of the Future (1991), also written by Augustyn, but with drawings by Eduardo Barreto.
Although not originally labeled as such, Gotham by Gaslight is considered to be the first Elseworlds story, where DC Comics heroes are taken out of their usual setting and put into alternate timelines or realities. Subsequent printings have included the “Elseworlds” logo.
Last night I headed out to Wondercomics in Yucaipa, CA to join them in celebrating the midnight release of Dark Knights: Metal. For those who are unfamiliar with it, this is DC’s newest annual crossover comic book event. Normally, I avoid midnight release parties like the plague because I hadn’t been excited for any comic book titles. The last midnight book release I went to was for the last Harry Potter book.
What brought me out this time? Well, while I was at San Diego Comic Con this year I happened across an image for the cover. It contained the Bat symbol over a gear. As hard I could try, I couldn’t make it past the crazy crowd in my wheelchair so I was unable to get into the DC booth to gain more information. Continue reading
We already knew a Good Omens miniseries was heading to Amazon next year—but now we know who’ll be starring in the Neil Gaiman-Terry Pratchett adaptation, which will run for six one-hour episodes: Michael Sheen and David Tennant. Can you guess who’ll play which role?
According to Variety:
The show is set in 2018 on the brink of an apocalypse as humanity prepares for a final judgment. But Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a demon, aren’t enthusiastic about the end of the world, and can’t seem to find the Antichrist. Sheen will play the role of Aziraphale, while Tennant will play Crowley.
The show is based on Gaiman’s first novel, which he co-wrote with the late Terry Pratchett (Discworld); though the Good Omens miniseries has been in the works for awhile now, the success of Starz’ American Gods show means Gaiman adaptations are definitely having A Moment. For his part, Sheen—who’s had a distinguished career, but we’ll always love him for his knowing performance in the Twilight movies—tells Variety, “I first read ‘Good Omens’ as a teenager and it’s been one of my [favorite] stories ever since.” No statement from Tennant, but there’s been no shortage of news about the Doctor Who actor of late, considering his current stint as Scrooge McDuck on the new DuckTales, and today’s reveal that he’ll (somehow) be back for the second season of Jessica Jones.

The two most primate-dominated franchises in the world – King Kong and Planet of the Apes – will collide in a newly-announced miniseries from BOOM! Studios.
Kong on the Planet of the Apes follows the events of the first Planet of the Apes movie from 1968, with Dr. Zaius and General Ursus leading a group of soldiers to the Forbidden Zone. Much to their surprise, they’re greeted by none other than Kong. From there, they travel to Skull Island to discover the truth, but will they survive the journey? Considering this is an out of continuity crossover, it’s probably safe to bet some classic characters are going to see their doom. Continue reading
