Swords of Sorrow: Red Sonja Vs Jungle Girl is part of Dynamite’s all-female written summer event starring their top female characters. This issue is written by Marguerite Bennett and drawn by Mirka Andolfo. Marguerite did this writer’s commentary on the issue.

PAGE ONE

First page, we just wanted a quick opening to catch up readers who may not be following the whole of the crossover, or those who are and needed a swift reminder of Sonja’s location, tasks, and motivation. She and Dejah Thoris discovered that these portals are engineered, and Sonja takes it upon herself to go find the villain and chop of their head, while Dejah turns back to protect her people in their hour of need—fairly informative of character, too.

PAGE TWO – PAGE THREE

If you can, always make Page Two a splash. Dirty writer trick. Tighten tension on Page One and unlock it on Page Two.Ohhhh, Sonja, making friends wherever you go.

Layout 1Layout 1

PAGE FOUR – PAGE FIVE

Or, regarding splash pages, go overboard.I wanted to write a pulp comic—a visual feast, big fat colorful panels. Here we see the jungle, the ice storm, the dinosaurs, and Sonja—four things that should not collide. We’ve got a gorgeous world, but a world clearly out of balance—maybe more beautiful for the disharmony, but decidedly less stable and more dangerous. I was really looking forward to this spread and Mirka’s fantastic.

Layout 1Layout 1

PAGE SIX – PAGE SEVENPoor Sonja. The spirit was willing, but the plot is causing you trouble. Pixar Rules: Coincidence can get your character into trouble, but it cannot get them out.Fortunately, Sonja loves trouble.(Also, I freaking love Mirka’s art. Jeez.)

Layout 1

PAGE EIGHT – PAGE NINE

Cheesecakey, if your cheesecake could occasionally murder you. I actually rather like good cheesecake when it’s in most pulp comics—context, personhood, and execution are everything, though. You can tell me if I succeeded or not.Jana also only got the drop on Sonja because Sonja just went from zero gravity back to insane humidity and dehydration. Jana is actually not a very capable fighter—she’s more skilled at hunting, tracking, and misdirection.Also, I think I quoted Lion King’s “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” to Mirka regarding Sonja and Jana’s tumble down that hillside and wiggled my eyebrows at her. God bless Mirka.I also really enjoy wordplay and archaic insults. I took far, far too many Linguistics classes in school and there is an alternate timeline where I became a linguist. Sonja’s “well-traveled barbarian” complements Jana’s cheerful ignorant innocence well, too—personality is everything when you’re baring this much skin.

PAGE TEN

Awwwww, making friends! Friendship is magic, you guys, don’t you watch MY LITTLE PONY?

PAGE ELEVEN

Yup, and there’s Mistress Hel, wishing she were cool like Sonja and Jana, wishing she had moves like Jagger.Also enjoyed having two women running around in chainmail and fur bikinis and becoming friends and teaching each other things and making plans for their future friendship.(My parents aren’t going to read this, are they?)

PAGE TWELVE – PAGE THIRTEEN

Ahhhhh, quite like these pages. Really wanted the wrongness of the storm to come across in a beautiful way. Mirka nailed it.

PAGE FOURTEEN

Some points about Jana and her role in the jungle—she is a hunter. She is a meat-eater and she kills. But she kills to survive or to feed her tribe. This was wanton and cruel. And now she’s gonna murder your punk ass.

PAGE FIFTEEN – PAGE SIXTEEN

Friendship is magic but it is also obnoxious puns. Jamie McKelvie is right; working with Kieron Gillen has ruined me.

PAGE SEVENTEEN – PAGE NINETEEN

Oh, poor Bel’lok. I designed you to be our pretty doe-eyed damsel and you’re so good at it. I like his vulnerability immensely; I like his modesty and his will to press on, even as he is injured, even as he is surrounded by strangers. Black male characters in comics are so often portrayed as the muscle, and I wanted to expand into something gentler, cognitive, and romantic, in terms of race and gender performance. Criticize away—I’m learning, too. Bel’lok is far and away the smartest and cleverest person in the whole arc. He’s done his homework and he knows what’s going on and he might just know how to fix everything.

PAGE TWENTY

“What’s going on” being “Mistress Hel is being a massive jerkface.”

The big reveal at the end of Agatha All Along episode five had to do with Joe Locke's ‘Teen’. And while they never come out and say his name, Agatha says he’s just like his mother and then we see him with an impressive crown and using blue colored magic to control Lilia and Jennifer before pushing them with it as well. But since they don’t call him by name yet, I won’t either. Though I think we all know who he is. As for the crown, the shows costume designer Daniel Selon talked about it on his Instagram feed, saying: "This crown was a result of a beautiful and exciting collaboration between Prop Master Russell Bobbitt and my team. We pulled inspiration from the concentric lines in Damascus steel and also ripples on the surface of water. With a beautiful blue chrome ómbre paint treatment we finally arrived at this powerful Crown." I don’t think the shot we got really did the crown justice, but I’m sure we’ll see a lot more of it and potentially his costume as Selon went on to say, "You’ll just have to wait to see what else is revealed as his full identity emerges in the coming episodes..." His identity is something many people were guessing early on and there was a toy leak that said the same thing… but this has still been a really strong reveal so far.Wiccan

As the long-running Saturday Night Live enters its 50th season this year, there is a film hitting theaters this weekend called Saturday Night from Jason Reitman that focuses on the original first broadcast of the show from 1975. The film is receiving incredible reviews but none more telling than that of former SNL alum Dan Aykroyd who was part of that inaugural airing. The Ghostbuster creator took to social media to say, “Cracking a Head to applaud Jason Reitman’s triumphant SNL film. Wow! What a propulsive, engaging, funny, beautifully cast and acted, suspenseful, adventurous, music-filled ride. A perfect window into the creative process at its highest level.” He went on to say, “Pretty accurate too. I was there that night and got to relive it wonderfully again. Congratulations Gil [Kenan, co-writer], Jason and [producer Jason Blumenfeld]. Don’t miss it whether you know the show or not. It is a stand-alone masterpiece and surefire candidate for Best Picture.” Reitman, the son of Ghostbuster director Ivan Reitman, said of the new film that Aykroyd was the hardest role to cast, and they spent a year “looking for Dan” before deciding on Dylan O’Brien. Reitman helped O’Brien find the ‘character’, saying “I know Dan really well. I grew up with Aykroyd and I’ve now directed him, so I feel like I could write any scene for Dan Aykroyd at this point. I know his voice well enough. And when I gave Dylan a couple keys to find Aykroyd, suddenly it just clicked open and that was the final piece of the puzzle.”Saturday Night

That didn’t take long. After crossing the $100 million-mark last weekend, a sequel for Wild Robot is now in the works for Dreamworks Animation with filmmaker Chris Sanders already confirmed to be at the lead. He told Deadline: “100% yes there are absolutely plans for a second one.” The writer/director has a strong pedigree with three Oscar nominations for his previous work on things like How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods and Disney’s Lilo & Stitch. The film is based on a trilogy of books by Peter Brown with the first being The Wild Robot and the second The Wild Robot Escapes. The film tells the story of ROZZUM unit 7134 or Roz, voiced by Lupita Nyong’o, who gets shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and learns to adapt to its surroundings and care for the animals it comes in contact with, including becoming an adopted parent to a gosling.Wild Robot

Prolific writer J. Michael Straczynski has graced nearly every corner of the Marvel Universe with his masterful storytelling skills, including acclaimed runs on Amazing Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four, and more. Starting this January, follow Straczynski to wherever his imagination takes him next as he pens a new line of standalone one-shots that co-star two Marvel icons of his choosing—either in unexpected team-ups or action-packed showdowns! In the spirit of recent best-selling comics like Jonathan Hickman and Sanford Greene’s Doom and Chip Zdarsky and Daniel Acuña’s Avengers: Twilight, Straczynski’s new one-shots invite all fans—new and longtime readers alike—to enjoy timeless and rousing stories featuring some of today’s most beloved and talked about Marvel characters. Joining Straczynski will be a lineup of incredible artistic talent: Will Robson, Bernard Chang, Elena Casagrande, Germán Peralta, Juan Ferreyra, and Phil Noto. Straczynski and Robson kick things off in DOCTOR DOOM & ROCKET RACCOON where Doom does the one thing he never wants to do: ask for a favor! What awaits Rocket in Latveria? Mischief, miscommunication and an emotional journey across space and time in the Mighty Marvel Way! Following that, Volstagg recruits the Sentinel of Liberty in Straczynski and Chang’s CAPTAIN AMERICA & VOLSTAGG. When a war breaks out in the Nine Realms, Volstagg of the Warriors Three turns to the only man skilled enough to end it: Steve Rogers, Captain America!

And that’s only the beginning, see below for a full list of the titles and pairings:

· DOCTOR DOOM & ROCKET RACCOON

· CAPTAIN AMERICA & VOLSTAGG

· NICK FURY VS. FIN FANG FOOM

· HULK & DOCTOR STRANGE (plus a backup story starring AUNT MAY & AGATHA HARKNESS!)

· GHOST RIDER VS. GALACTUS

· SPIDER-MAN VS. DOCTOR OCTOPUS

“I like to go where the fun is, and the idea of putting together Marvel characters who had either never been paired before, or only minimally, seemed like it would be a ton of fun, and it was even more of a blast than I anticipated,” Straczynski explained. “For the first time we could see the original Nick Fury in China along with the Flying Tigers taking on a newly awakened Fin Fang Foom...go to the edge of time and space with Rocket Raccoon and Doctor Doom...see the Ghost Rider slugging it out with none other than Galactus...Aunt May caught in the midst of a supernatural battle alongside Agatha Harkness...the more unlikely the pairing, the more eccentric the combo, the more fun it was to see it come to life. I've been sitting on news of this series for over a year and I'm so excited to know it will finally be hitting newsstands starting in January.”

Henry Cavill, the former Superman actor and star of The Witcher, has come aboard Voltron to topline the live-action feature based on the mecha anime that Rawson Marshall Thurber is directing. The actor joins Daniel Quinn-Toye, the newcomer who impressed the studio and director with his West End work opposite Tom Holland, in leading the roll call. Voltron is based on the Japanese sci-fi series Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV. World Events edited and dubbed the series as a syndicated show, naming it Voltron: Defender of the Universe, which ran in the mid-1980s. The premise centered on five young pilots in a battalion named the Robot Lions, which are vehicles that join together to form a mega-robot known as Voltron. The plot details for the new version is unclear. Thurber wrote the script with Ellen Shanman. (via The Hollywood Reporter)

Cineverse’s unrated slasher threequel Terrifier 3 grossed out $2.6M in previews on Thursday which began at 8PM. There’s speculation that this microbudget movie, which cost Cineverse under $5M in its entirety for acquisition and P&A, will topple Warner Bros’ Joker: Folie à Deux from the top spot of the box office in its second weekend with an $11M+ take. We will see. It all depends if Cineverse’s thrifty marketing campaign finds a greater audience beyond the core it’s promoting to; their streaming subs and Bloody Disgusting followers. The Damien Leone-written and -directed horror movie is 94% with Rotten Tomatoes audiences, and 78% with critics. Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak didn’t capture audience exits on the film. (via Deadline)
