It's official: Joss Whedon and DC/WB have parted ways. No more Whedonverse and no more Batgirl in the DCEU - at least, not anytime soon. We discuss how it came to this and what the chances are for a Batgirl film in the future * It's another year another line-wide reboot, re-tidying for Marvel Comics. 4 reboots in 6 years! Could this reboot really be the one that rights the course for Marvel, or is this another sign of dark times for the house that Spidey built? * Comic sales are down across the board, and over the last few years, both Marvel & DC have tried just about every marketing gimmick to increase readership - but nothing has had a lasting effect. We offer a few of our can't-miss ideas to save the industry! * Power Rangers meets Crisis on Infinite Earths!? We preview what's in store in the year ahead for the current Kyle Higgins-led comics line, as Rangers from across time and space unite to stop an evil Ranger, hellbent on being the last Ranger in existence! ... All this, plus more superhero movie news and debate!
