Before Netflix launches its Masters of the Universe: Revelation animated series later this year, Dark Horse Comic will publish a four-issue prequel comic book series co-written by the show's executive producer Kevin Smith (as in the creator of the Jay & Silent Bob movies). Starting in July, the four-issue series will set up storylines that lead directly to the plot of the Netflix show and set the stage for a future vision of Masters of the Universe. Along with Smith, the Masters of the Universe: Revelation prequel comic book is co-written by Rob David (creative director and writer of some of DC's Masters of the Universe comic books published from 2012-2020) and Tim Sheridan (one of the Netflix show's writers with his own DC pedigree as a writer of the Death and Return of Superman and upcoming Batman: The Long Halloween animated films).

Best Shots Review: Mighty Valkyries #1 has powerful visuals but lacks charisma
The Mighty Valkyries #1 explores the Norse pantheon and alien worlds. Jason Aaron, Torunn Grønbekk, Mattia de Iulis, and Erica D'Urso craft two tales, one focusing on Jane Foster, and the other on the lost warrior known only as Valkyrie.

We talk to Disco Elysium’s incredible narrator, who recorded 350,000 words of dialogue and has never acted before
Disco Elysium's free Final Cut update adds new quests and full voice acting to the game, making a great RPG even better . For me, the highlight of the update is the deep, melodic voice of the narrator, who brings the turmoil raging inside Harry's head to life brilliantly. The man behind this incredible performance is Lenval Brown, a musician from London who, remarkably, has never acted in anything major before. I sat down with him—along with voice director Cash DeCuir—to talk about his work on the Final Cut, and what it was like recording nearly half a million words of dialogue for a videogame. How did you get involved with Disco Elysium? Lenval Brown: It's a crazy, long journey. You know, you're going along in life and then you meet someone and it all changes. Like the game itself, life leads you down different paths. A friend of mine was at college in London studying anthropology. That's where she met Kaur Kender (executive producer on Disco Elysium.) They became friends and … [Read more...] about We talk to Disco Elysium’s incredible narrator, who recorded 350,000 words of dialogue and has never acted before
