20160708 – News :STAR TREK BEYOND Reveals Franchise’s First Openly Gay Established Character | Newsarama.com
STAR TREK BEYOND will reveal that a crewmember of the Enterprise is openly gay.
More than 20 years after Gene Roddenberry promised to spotlight LGBT characters in Star Trek: The Next Generation, the franchise is getting its first official gay character as Star Trek Beyond will reveal that Enterprise Helmsman Hikaru Sulu has a same-sex partner with whom he has a child.
Roddenberry’s promise never came to fruition on Star Trek: TNG, though the show did attempt to show non-traditional gender dynamics and broached the topic of homosexuality, but the reveal in Star Trek Beyond will reportedly be made in accordance with Roddenberry’s vision of gay and lesbian crewmembers whose sexuality is a non-issue.
“I liked the approach, which was not to make a big thing out it,” Sulu actor John Cho told the Melbourne Herald Sun. “Which is where I hope we are going as a species, to not politicise one’s personal orientations.”
According to Cho, the choice to make Sulu gay was made as a tribute to actor George Takei. Takei played the character in the original Star Trek series and subsequent movies, and has become a vocal activist for gay rights since coming out in 2005. Star Trek Beyond castmember Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock, is also openly gay.
Star Trek Beyond premieres in theaters July 21.

20160705 – Comics News : Full MARVEL NOW! ‘Divided We Stand’ Image Released | Newsarama.com
A literal rift between two teams of Marvel veterans and Marvel’s younger heroes.
Joining the 16 characters in the previous « Marvel NOW! » teaesers is 10 new characters: Daisy Johnson/Quake, Elektra, Gamora, Cable, Squirrel Girl, Moon Girl, Kate Bishop/Hawkeye, Dr. Strange, and Amadeus Cho/Hulk.
In fact, it’s eleven if you count the massive green foot seen behind the group on the left. The publisher hasn’t clarified who that is referring to, although the first giant green lizard in the Marvel U that comes to mind is Fin Fang Foom, but it could also be the recently introduced American Kaiju (real name: Todd Ziller) from New Avengers.
In some ways, the two groups of characters mirror the way Marvel began promoting « All-New All-Different Marvel » with two groups of characters in a pair of pin-ups by Civil War II artist David Marquez. In this « Marvel NOW! » line-up, it’s interesting that two recent Invincible Iron Man characters – Dr. Doom and Riri Williams – are featured as the central figures in each group – one of mostly older heroes, and the other those who are portrayed as newer recruits into the superhero business.

20160702 – Comics News : Revamped ‘ODINSON’ v Unexpected Character in in Latest ‘Divided’ MARVEL NOW Teaser | Newsarama.com
The one once-worthy at odds against the one once-ultimate.
Another « Marvel NOW! » teaser has arisen, this time featuring the return of the original Thor – now calling himself Odinson – being put at odds against the Miles Morales Spider-Man. This teaser (via IGN), like the others, is illustrated by Mike Deodato Jr., who coincidentally illustrated Odinson’s fall from worthy-ness to be Thor in 2014’s Original Sin – a mystery that has yet to be revealed.
This teaser breaks the mold of previous pieces which contrasted a household character against a more esoteric choice from Marvel’s deep bench, but squarely comes down to the generational divide that Newsarama has theorizedcould be crux of « Marvel NOW! »
It’s also important to note Odinson’s revised features: a short, cropped haircut with some high-tech armor – perhaps compensating for his loss of power after being dethroned as Thor.
Look for more on « Marvel NOW! » as it develops on Newsarama.

WALLY WEST-Led TITANS To ‘Unlock the Mystery’ of REBIRTH | Newsarama.com
Newly DC-exclusive series writer Dan Abnett talks about his big plans for what he calls ‘the great legacy team of the DC Universe.’
Wally West’s return in Rebirth — and his warnings about a « darkness from somewhere » that’s infecting the DCU — is just the beginning of the story. The character will share his message of 10 missing years in the DCU as he joins theTitans, a new series by Dan Abnett and Brett Booth that launches in June.
And Newsarama has learned that DC has given Abnett a DC exclusive contract, as he’s not only writing the new Titanstitle, but also Aquaman and Earth 2: Society.
Because of Wally’s return, Titans will be « central » to the events unfolding after the revelation that Watchmencharacters have manipulated the DCU, according to Abnett.
The monthly Titans title will spin out of the events of Rebirthwhile also picking up on what happened in Abnett’s just-finished Titans Hunt. Wally will join with other team members from Titans Hunt, including Bumblebee, Nightwing, Donna Troy, Gnarrk, Hawk, Dove, Arsenal, Tempest, Herald, and other familiar Titans characters.
Newsarama talked with Abnett about Wally’s role on the team, about his early tease of the character’s return, and why the Titans are so important for DC’s new acceptance of legacy characters.

20160525 – Comics News :DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH #1 – Explaining the Two WALLY WESTs | Newsarama.com
It’s getting harder to miss one of the major spoilers of DC’s latest universe-changing event. In case you didn’t, we answer some questions you might have.
Updated May 24, 2016: Since publication of this story DC Comics has revealed a third image of Wally West from DC Universe: Rebirth #1 without a spoiler warning, this time on its Facebook page.
Original Story: Spoilers ahead for DC Universe: Rebirth #1.
Among all the excitement about the return of post-CrisisWally West in DC Universe: Rebirth #1, there’s one element of his return that’s an even bigger surprise — there will apparently now be two Wally West speedsters in the DCU.
As seen in the DC Universe: Rebirth #1 pages that leaked Friday afternoon and subsequent official preview pagesreleased to the comic book press and USA Today, DC now has two Wallys in their Rebirth’ed universe. And both wear a Kid Flash costume, though the original Wally is seen in a brand new costume at the end of the special.
According to the special due Wednesday, the two Wallys are established as cousins who had never met, named after the same great-grandfather, Wallace West. The older, original Wally is Rudy West’s son. The newer, younger Wally is Rudy’s brother Daniel West’s son. Both share an aunt (Rudy and Daniel’s sister), Iris West.
“I was as close to Iris as I was far from Daniel,” explains the original Wally in narration.
Diving deeper, the just-returned-from-the-past Wally is older (but younger than his last pre-Flashpoint appearance) white, red-headed speedster. The character was introduced in 1959 and started as a Kid Flash, one of the members of the Teen Titans, but then graduated to taking over the Flash mantle as an adult in the 1980’s – all continuity that is now, apparently, reestablished. He disappeared from continuity when DC rebooted their universe in 2011, but now he’s back. And Newsarama has learned that he’ll be co-starring with other adult, former Teen Titans in the new Titans series by writer Dan Abnett.
But there’s also the younger, more-recently-introduced, « New 52 » version of Wally West, a black teenager. Flash Rebirthwriter Josh Williamson told Newsarama that the « kid » version of Wally West will evolve into the new Kid Flash within the pages of the Flash title (as confirmed by DC Universe: Rebirth #1), then will be part of the Teen Titans title.
Williamson said that there will be a « twist » with Wally’s evolution, which hints that maybe the older Wally will be part of mentoring the younger one.
While the existence of two Wally West’s now has a simple explanation, it isn’t the only character ‘duplication’ that is emerging as DC works to undo some of the problems that arose after the company’s « New 52 » reboot in 2011, which had eliminated many of the company’s best-loved legacy characters. Now, in the Rebirth’ed DCU, it appears that there will be two Lois Lanes, and we’re still not sure how many Clark Kents.
