#52: 52, Vol 1! Tom Cruise as Green Lantern?!

Hey gang! Dave & Stew are back with a blast of “52” action! Greg Rucka, Grant Morrison, Mark Waid and Geoff Johns combine for the classic DC year long weekly series which we are covering the first 13 issues of!

Stew was also invited to the Disney shareholders meeting and there’s a slew of news and photos coming out of that in relation to Avengers: Infinity War!

The Tom Cruise Green Lantern rumours provide some lengthy discussion and debate about the state of the DCEU! Stan Lee’s sad condition seems to worsen and there appears to be vultures circling his estate, much to the concern of major comic book identities like Kevin Smith and Neal Adams. We wish Stan all the best, this is terrible.

Kevin Fiege has been talking AVENGERS! Thor has a new hammer! There will be a sequel to Black Panther! Cheetah is CAST for Wonder Woman 2! The boys argue like crazy about a Robin Williams movie.

There’s Rob Liefeld news as he sells his Extreme universe to Netflix and Michael Kelosim has an awesome email about it! Add to all this some great news about the DC Black Label Imprint, Grant Morrison wanted 5 years of Dick Grayson and Damian Batman stories, and Dave has given a couple of day’s extension for the Chuck Dixon questions for the upcoming interview!
