News From DC and Marvel
- LA Comic Con decided to make things extra creepy by bringing in an AI-powered hologram of Stan Lee to “meet” with fans. This has gone down poorly with some fans, but the guy who stands to make money off of it insists we all give it a chance.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day has found its Tombstone: Marvin “Krondon” Jones III, who previously played the villainous Tobias Whale on The CW’s Black Lightning. But he might have to wait a bit to get started. Filming came to a temporary halt after Tom Holland suffered a concussion on-set. Don’t worry, he’s fine!
