Emmy nominated "Euphoria" actress Sydney Sweeney, currently co-starring in the Sony/Marvel Studios feature "Madame Web", has been cast as "Barbarella" in a new feature based on the French comic strip heroine created by Jean-Claude Forest:
'Barbarella' is a young woman who travels from planet to planet and has numerous adventures...
....often involving sex.
The aliens she meets often seduce her...
...and she also experiments with a 'machine excessive' or 'orgasmotron'.
The original comic book version of 'Barbarella' was modeled on French actress Brigitte Bardot...
...and Jane Fonda starred in a spoof feature, directed by her husband Roger Vadim.
The Dynamite Entertainment title "Barbarella" #1 is written by Mike Carey and illustrated by Kenan Yarar, with covers by Kenneth Rocafort, Joe Jusko, Josephn Michael Linsner, Robert Hack, Annie Wu, Kenan Yarar, Valentine DeLandro, Veronica Fish and Roberto Castro.

Whenever a new year approaches, I normally have a clear idea of which superhero movie will be my most anticipated. In the case of 2020, I’d like to say it’s Birds of Prey, yet I’m internally conflicted.
You see, even though I’ve been dying to see Black Canary and Huntress on the silver screen, the costuming department apparently decided to ignore using comic books for reference. Not only do those ladies’ outfits look nothing like their counterparts’ on the printed page, but neither does Harley Quinn’s. They’re basically unrecognizable. And there’s also the matter of significant reshoots to consider – but I’ll remain cautiously optimistic.
Regardless, we must brace ourselves because the marketing machine is starting to turn its gears. In an effort to entice casual fans to take a closer look at the books, DC Comics will be releasing three Birds of Prey...

I previously penned an article here on Nerdly about the Archieverse and the various titles, old and new, to come from this wonderful world of comics. I mentioned in said article that I would be reviewing many of those books, and so what better place to begin than from the newest iteration of Archie and the first volume of that series.
Archie Vol. 1 was released all the way back in 2015 and collects issues 1-6 on the rebooted Archie franchise. Written by the excellent Mark Waid with artists Fiona Staples (for issues 1 to 3), Annie Wu (issue 4) and Veronica Fish (issues 5 and 6), this was the start of something special, and so it was a total joy to go back and read it again in order to talk about it here in this first review in a series.

Lucasfilm Publishing has announced a brand new Star Wars book series called Flight of the Falcon. What makes this book series so special is the fact that the Millennium Falcon will be used to connect all of the eras that have been explored in the Star Wars universe.

Last week H&M received intense backlash after releasing a controversial ad featuring a black child wearing a sweatshirt with the slogan “coolest monkey in the jungle.” The brand was slammed on social media by a slew of celebrities for being racially insensitive, and two of its collaborators, The Weeknd and G-Eazy, ended their working relationship with the retailer. H&M took the criticism seriously, it says, and has taken steps to address its internal diversity problem.

Last month, I read a book called Hawkeye, Vol. 1 . This month, I hit one called Vol. 3. In the annoyingly typical way of Big Two comics, the latter follows directly from the former. (One is a hardcover, which in comics-reprinting circles comes typically a year or two after the paperback and combines two paperbacks together. Yes, that’s the opposite of how we old-time book-industry hands are used to seeing things happen, but it seems to work for the Wednesday Crowd.)
Anyway, at the end of Vol. 1, the two Hawkeyes split up, because comics are all about break-ups and changes and new things that can last for six issues or so. (Spider-Man No More! once again.) L.A. Woman follows the younger female Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, who drives a cool car cross country to the city of the title, where she immediately gets caught up in nefarious doings and skulduggery of her own.

When Black Canary by Brenden Fletcher and Annie Wu launched in June of 2015, music was baked into the fabric of the comic. Dinah Lance finds herself fronting a band. The team mixed Black Canary’s martial prowess and black leather aesthetics with punk rock sounds. But one of the drawbacks of a visual medium is the lack of audio. Fletcher could write amazing lyrics and Wu could creatively make them pop on the page, but it was up to readers to imagine the riffs and melodies. Until now. DC Comics has brought the sounds of Black Canary to life with three singles to form the Ep Kicking and Screaming. I spoke to Brenden Fletcher over the phone about how this project came to life, and who is behind the music of this amazing new sound. Hitfix Harpy: Congrats on your Black Canary Ep! Brendan Fletcher: Thanks! It's been a long time coming.

If you were a follower of the DC You Black Canary title from Brenden Fletcher and Annie Wu, perhaps you wondered what the fictional band sounded like in real life? Well, wonder no more as DC Comics has put out a real-life Ep for Black Canary featuring "Dd" on vocals, Paloma Terrific, Lord Byron and Ditto. In reality, DC solicited Caveboy frontwoman Michelle Bensimon and producer Joseph Donovan to create the 3-track Ep under the Black Canary banner. You can get further info on the band on their own corner of the DC Comics website and purchase their music on their own bandcamp site. The music actually sounds pretty good and can't help but to make you wonder if Arrow still has time to reinvent Katie Cassidy's Laurel Lance as a vocalist for a punk-pop band. Maybe her Earth-2 doppelganger can make a fun cameo appearance? <a data-cke-saved-href="<a data-cke-saved-href="<a data-cke-saved-href="<a data-cke-saved-href="http://blackcanary.bandcamp.com/album/ep-1"""" href="http://blackcanary.bandcamp.com/album/ep-1"""" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://blackcanary.bandcamp.

"...it's the deafening finale of the band's debut tour! 'Dinah' will have to scream louder than she ever has before.
"So loud that the walls of reality will crumble!..."
'Black Canary' was created by writer Robert Kanigher and illustrator Carmine Infantino, debuting in "Flash Comics" #86 (August 1947). One of DC's earliest super-heroines, Black Canary has appeared in many of the company's flagship team-up titles including "Justice Society of America" and "Justice League of America".
Since the late 1960's, the character has frequently been paired with archer superhero 'Green Arrow' professionally and romantically, and they eventually married.

In the backmatter for Archie #5, writer Mark Waid calls Reggie Mantle “The Grinch of Riverdale”. This is because he’s wealthy, sexist, rude, and just plain unsympathetic as a character. He also is the star of this issue as Waid positions him as kind of a Big Bad in the second arc of Archie, which also introduces new series artist Veronica Fish. Fish’s artwork isn’t terrible, but it lacks the sheer beauty and vibrance of Fiona Staples’ work on Archie #1-3 or the raw emotion of Annie Wu’s in the previous issue. Her lines are chunkier, and her faces and character designs wouldn’t really work in a more serious story.

The other day at a comic shop I saw a flier for the upcoming Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! #1. It was advertised having writer Kate Leth and artist Brittney Williams attached. I think it’s great that the two of them are on this book, as I enjoy the work they’ve put out over at Boom! Studios. However, it did start getting me thinking about the direction the comic industry is going. A direction that it may not want to go in.
We’ve seen the big two added more books with a woman lead. This has been great. A lot of them have at least one woman creator attached as well. We should absolutely be thrilled by that and support those efforts.
Just off the top of my head I can think of Amy Reeder on Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Kelly Sue Deconnick’s recent Captain Marvel run,...

Written by Brian K. Vaughan
Art by Cliff Chiang

Letters by Jared K. Fletcher
Only three issues in, Brian K. Vaughn and Cliff Chiang’s Paper Girls has already piqued intense fandom. Grounded in the recognizably familiar–1988 Midwestern suburbia–with its head in the clouds–aliens on dinosaurs, time travelers, mutant teenagers, Paper Girls engages both the heart and the mind. The four pre-teens on their paper route–Erin, Mack, Tiffany, and K.J.–are tough, mature, and can persevere through the toughest situations. They have to be, they’re paper girls. But they’re also only 12, so their innocence and relative naivety give them space to grow as characters. Littered with artifacts from the era, the comic is, in part, an authentic period piece, colored in the equivalent of retro sepia-tones for the late 80’s.

Written by Mark Waid
Art by Annie Wu
Colors by Andre Szymanowicz with Jen Vaughn
Letters by Jack Morelli
Published by Archie Comics
Black Canary and Hawkeye artist Annie Wu comes to Riverdale for Archie #4 to depict the much discussed “Lipstick Incident”, which has been the cause of a lot of strain in Betty, Archie, and even Jughead’s relationship through the first issues of the all-new Archie. Theme-wise, writer Mark Waid digs into the coming of age story aspect of Archie and spends much of the issue building up Archie and Betty’s lifelong friendship/romance and then dismantling it ruthlessly.
Wu’s art style is raw and loose and is perfect for capturing the raw nerves of teenage emotions, but sadly Waid’s script doesn’t follow suit as he goes for teen movie cliches and forced metaphors instead of authentic feeling. Or maybe even with a...

Batgirl #43
Written by Brenden Fletcher and Cameron Stewart
Art by Babs Tarr
Breakdowns by Tarr and Michel Lacombe
Colors by Serge Lapointe
Published by DC Comics
Batgirl #43 is a beautiful, energetic blend of interpersonal struggles between Batgirl and her “tech help” Frankie, who has started going out on her own little missions along with a half dozen other little dramas in her personal life with another techno thriller. With tigers because villainous animals make for a nice fight scene. Writers Brenden Fletcher and Cameron Stewart combine oodles of different threats from Gail Simone’s Batgirl run, the previous Hooq arc as well as Batgirl’s relationship with Luke Fox to construct an organic plot from Babs’ supporting cast. (Even though there are a couple new faces.) But artist Babs Tarr, co-breaker downer (That’s probably not the proper term Michel Lacombe, and colorist Serge Lapointe continue to make Batgirl the...

Black Canary #1
Written by Brenden Fletcher
Art by Annie Wu
Colors by Lee Loughridge
Published by DC Comics
With an opening page laid out like a page from one of those free newspapers, writer Brenden Fletcher and artist Annie Wu make the dynamic between Dinah (or D.D. as she is called by the press and her bandmates) and her band the Black Canary the focus in Black Canary #1. Touring and trying to make it as a indie punk band with an eclectic sound courtesy of silent guitarist Ditto and a charismatic lead vocalist comes first before the superheroics, but the kicking and action is always present. And instead of being something, like Scott Pilgrim, where characters accept the musical martial arts matchups without batting an eye, Dinah’s predilection for violence leads to tension between her and her bandmates creating the main conflict for the series along with some...

Is love in the air for Grant Ward and Agent 33? The title of next week's episode and the poster below would certainly suggest so. This week's artwork comes courtesy of Annie Wu (Matt Fraction's Hawkeye, The Venture Bros.) and it depicts an intimate moment between the characters. Because Agent 33 is fond of wearing so many faces, she's drawn as two different women... one of whom is sporting the S.H.I.E.L.D. emblem. To find out more about this and the episode in general, check out EW's chat with the show's executive producer Jeff Bell Here. Love in the Time of Hydra” – Coulson and his team are still reeling from a shocking revelation that leaves the team fractured as they must decide what to do with one of their own. Meanwhile, Bobbi and Mack reveal their true allegiance to Hunter, while elsewhere, Ward and Agent 33 embark on a personal mission,...

This marks the first time I have ever done a Top 10 Comics list. I will have to preface this list by saying I do not read a great deal of comics. In order to keep up with movies the way I do, my time to read comics is rather limited. However, thanks in large part to starting Talking In Circles I found my way back to reading a number of series this year. So with that said here are my choices for Top 10 Comics of 2014.
10. New Avengers
Company: Marvel
Writer: Jonathan Hickman
Artist: Various
During my height of comic fandom the New Avengers debuted. I remember all the speculation over who would be on the team, and the craziness that occurred when people found out Wolverine and Spider-Man would be apart of The Avengers. Since then the team and the comic has gone though a number of changes, and I...

The Gutters (Indefinite hiatus; 2010-2014)
Written by Ryan Sohmer
Art by various
Colored by Ed Ryzowski
First and foremost, The Gutters was a twice weekly webcomic that made fun of various aspects of the comics industry. It took the comics news of that week and spinned into something hilarious and self-contained with a rotating cast of artists, including ones you might know like Annie Wu (Hawkeye), Darick Robertson (Transmetropolitan), Joe Eisma (Morning Glories), Nick Bradshaw (Wolverine and the X-Men), and even comics legend Neal Adams, who pencilled a heartfelt tribute to the late Joe Kubert in 2012. The humor of The Gutters is highly topical. However, in the tradition of the best Mad Magazine strips or SNL sketches, it can act as a nice time capsule to 2010 when people were arguing whether Steve Rogers or Bucky Barnes (or Clint Barton) should be Captain America, or 2012 when the circle of snark around...

I just came across these awesome Batgirl Beyond illustrations by Annie Wu. In case you're wondering, this actually exists as a comic. I just hadn't come across it until today, and I wanted to share it with you just in case you missed it too. I absolutely love the character design for this character.
"Batgirl Beyond" part 1 of 3. There's an all-new Batgirl kicking butt in Neo-Gotham! But is she friend or foe? And what is her secret identity? One thing's for sure...Commissioner Barbara Gordon is going to get some answers!

Marvel publishes some weird comics featuring talking raccoons, Norse gods, and unfrozen WW2 vets blasting off into space but the way they number their comics is even weirder. If they’re not 1.1 this, they’re 1.50 that, and, in the case of Hawkeye, they’re numbering backwards! Last month saw the release of Hawkeye #16 and this month it’s Hawkeye #15.
The reason was that artist David Aja hadn’t finished work on this issue so Marvel skipped ahead and printed the Annie Wu-completed issue instead (Wu draws the Kate Bishop issues, Aja the Clint Barton ones). But the wait is definitely worth it. Regular readers will know David Aja – who won 2 Eisners last year for his work on this series – does nothing but fine work, and his art in this issue is of his usual ridiculously high quality standard.
The issue opens with Clint Barton with his pants down around...

You can tell when the year is coming to an end when media outlets start offering their various and sundry “best of” lists. We here at ComicMix are no exception, so for the third consecutive year, here’s mine.
I’ve changed from “Top 9” to my top comics pulls. This is because we no longer live in a world where any one character occupies only one title – yeah, I’m talking to you, Wolverine – and sometimes I want to note a series of character-related titles. Of the five I’m listing for 2013, three cover multiple titles. This doesn’t mean I won’t change back next year. Consistency is the hobgoblin on a small cerebral cortex.
I operate under the following self-imposed rules: I’m only listing series that either were ongoing or ran six or more issues. I’m not listing graphic novels or reprints as both compete under different criteria.

Over for another year, this weekend’s Thought Bubble was the biggest in its short history, and it definitely felt it. While I didn’t attend every panel or get every signature that I wanted to, my days were still jam-packed with awkward fan-worship of idolised writers, wonderful small press discoveries and comfortable reprieves in the plush Bury Theatre in which writers and artists waxed lyrical about their work and industry.
On arriving at New Dock, I and a couple of friends navigated the main hall as best we could, but the first morning of Thought Bubble is always (in my experience) the busiest, and I may have slightly regretted packing my decade-old, ramshackle rucksack to the brim with quite as many comics and trades as it made me something of an obstacle to all beside and behind, especially when we stopped to gawk at a table’s wares.

Well, it’s upon us once again, and not a moment too soon: the superlative annual comic convention Thought Bubble is back as part of both the Leeds International Film Festival and Comic Art Festival, with a signing tour currently wending its way across Britain and the main events happening this weekend at the Royal Armouries.
And, boy, is there a lot going on.
So I thought I’d put together a brief guide to my picks of the panels and events being put on over the weekend. This is by no means exhaustive, but hopefully (if your tastes are anything like mine) it’ll at least steer you in the right direction. If you’re at all disappointed by where I send you, I can be found yelling at Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie for quitting Young Avengers…

Given that Comic-Con International begins in San Diego Thursday, it's only appropriate to spend a little time raving about one of my favorite comic books, Marvel's "Hawkeye."
"Hawkeye" has a lot in common with my favorite TV shows: memorable characters, a distinctive atmosphere, a sense of place, a delightfully unique visual style and a knack for creating moments that linger in the mind for days.
It also has an awesome dog, which "Mad Men" does not. So take that, Don Draper.
Like the creators of most cult shows, its creative team expected "Hawkeye" to die early, but it has bucked all the odds and has done well for Marvel. The ongoing story of what the Avenger's archer does on his day off has amassed a fervent following, and it's certainly easy to see why. I experience glee when I read this book -- the kind of giddy feeling you get...

The piece of geek art you see above was created by Annie Wu, and it was created for a remake/remodel challenge on Warren Ellis's Whitechaple. She took the Justice League and turned then into a punk rock band. Here's a note from the artist explaining the challenge and talks about why she created what she did.
The challenge was to make a poster for Malcolm McLaren's 1977 Justice League film (don't worry, that didn't actually happen). It seemed appropriate to turn the Jla into a punk band for this. Design-wise, I suppose mine doesn't necessarily fit the period, but my focus was really on the figures/costuming. I love re-interpreting characters and making up fake bands, so this was fun to do during breaks from other work. There are a few bits I especially enjoy, like Wonder Woman's stockings and Batman's t-shirt. And for some reason, the...

Hair care and comic books don’t often team up, but last week, TRESemmé and Elle magazine brought the two together in a new graphic novel web series, Dirty Little Secret, which follows the adventures of aspiring stylist Riley Kendrick as she navigates the worlds of fashion and style in New York City. The 10-episode series, which launched May 25, will be distributed on both the magazine’s website and TRESemmé’s Facebook page. The bi-weekly episodes will be supported by in-magazine content starting with the June issue of Elle. A pure branded entertainment play, the team responsible for the series has a strong entertainment pedigree, coupled with a stellar track record in the world of multi-platform content.

Betty White is once again NBC's golden girl, as the octogenarian comedienne's weekend hosting spot helped 'Saturday Night Live' reach its biggest audience in 18 months.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the episode averaged an 8.8 overnight rating, attracting an estimated 12-13 million viewers total. That's up 66 percent from last year, and marks 'SNL's' highest-rated show since Nov. 1, 2008, when John McCain made a special appearance during the peak of the Presidential election.
White led a team of returning 'SNL' funny ladies, including Ana Gasteyer, Tina Fey, Molly Shannon, Amy Poehler, Rachel Dratch and Maya Rudolph, during 'SNL's' Mother's Day show, with musical guest Jay-z.
