‘Blue Falcon and Dynomutt’ will make waves at Dynamite this fall

The animated duo from the 1970s will find new life in a series by Jimmy Palmiotti and Pasquale Qualano.

I was just lamenting over the fact that Dynamite seemed to be stuck in distribution hell as the largest comic company that hadn’t announced their post-Diamond plans. But today brought news that they have indeed signed up with Lunar Distribution, which is good to hear — that means their upcoming Blue Falcon & Dynomutt comic will make it to comic shops.

This dynamic duo first appeared on television screens in the 1970s alongside another Hanna-Barbera canine, Scooby Doo. The two animated programs often crossed over as part of the The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour, as the Batman-esque superhero and his robot dog fought criminals like Mr. Hyde, The Gimmick and the talking worm known as The Worm. Only 20 episodes of their show wwere produced, but they did make many cameos and appearances in Scooby Doo, on Laff-A-Lympics and many other cartoons, as well as the more recent film Scoob!

The creative team for the comic series include writer Jimmy Palmiotti and artist Pasquale Qualano, while Lucio Parrillo provides the cover for the first issue:

DC will launch new Titans, Cyborg + Green Lantern titles

Dawn of DC continues in May.

DC has revealed three more titles and their creative teams for their 2023 Dawn of DC publishing initiative, which Publisher Jim Lee called “one of our most ambitious initiatives ever” and “a chance for us to tell bigger and bolder stories across our line” when it was announced back in November.

Today brings news of three new titles featuring some old favorites, all of which will kick off in May:

  • Titans by Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott, which is not surprising given the end of Nightwing #100 earlier this month
  • Green Lantern by Jeremy Adams and Xermánico, which will feature a main story focus on Hal Jordan, with a back-up by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Osvaldo Montos focusing on John Stewart.
  • Cyborg by Morgan Hampton, a graduate of The Milestone Initiative Talent Development Program, along with Tom Raney.

The Warworld Saga ends in August, bringing Clark back to Earth

Big Daddy Superman will finish up in space, then return home for a crossover with his son.

The Warworld Saga, which took Clark Kent off planet while his son Jon Kent took over as Superman on Earth, will wrap up this August in Superman: Warworld Apocalypse #1.

Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Brandon Peterson and Will Conrad will present the final battle between the forces of Superman and Mongul’s Unmade Champions.

“Superman: Warworld Apocalypse is everything we’ve been building to with the Warworld Saga, with the final battle between Superman and Mongul, between the Authority and the Unmade, and the long-awaited reveal of the real mastermind in the shadows,” said Johnson. “There are some frankly shocking moments in this issue, and some huge reveals that will have long-lasting repercussions in the DC Universe.”
