The DC Art of Bruno Redondo Cover Preview

 


Bruno Redondo is an accomplished artist who has contributed to numerous series for DC Comics. Now, Clover Press is assembling a collection of the Eisner-winner's greatest hits. What will it include? And how can you get your hands on this guide to the artist's vaunted career?

Here's all the info from DC Comics and Clover Press:

 


THE DC ART OF BRUNO REDONDO




Clover Press announces THE DC ART OF BRUNO REDONDO, the second volume in the The DC Art Of… books, the recent line of high-end boutique art books showcasing the very best artists to craft the DC multiverse. Three-time Eisner Award-winning artist Bruno Redondo has built a world-class career perfecting his art for DC’s comics in the 21st century, and now, THE DC ART OF BRUNO REDONDO collects his very best work from the first era of an already impressive career. With over 200 pages, the 9”x12” volume highlights Redondo’s defining runs on Injustice and Nightwing, as well special selections from Justice League; Batman: Black & White; Harley Quinn: Black, White & Red; and much more. Head to Kickstarter to support the campaign.


“I have always been an avid fan of art books from the artists I admire,” said Redondo. “I consider them a great chance to learn and look behind the curtain of their creative process. So having the opportunity to share my own art book is quite a responsibility. I’m trying to be as open as possible to it and build a new bridge of communication through this, as a complement to my comic books. I hope you enjoy it, as well as some of the surprises we are working on!”


After making a name for himself on titles like Human Target (with Len Wein), Push, and Batman: Arkham Unhinged, Bruno Redondo joined his Star Wars: Darth Maul collaborator Tom Taylor (DCeased, All-New Wolverine) to take the reins of Injustice: Gods Among Us, elevating a digital-first video game tie-in comic to a fan-favorite series with a fiercely devoted readership. The scope and tenure of the story also provided the perfect testing ground for Bruno to experiment with and hone his signature style of fluid, unencumbered pencil work combined with a precision sense of design. After Injustice’s conclusion, Bruno lent his name to other high-profile DC series, including Justice League (with Scott Snyder), Titans (with Dan Abnett), and Suicide Squad (again with Tom Taylor). Beginning with Nightwing #78, Bruno and Tom Taylor began what quickly became one of the seminal runs on comics’ first sidekick, Dick Grayson. Their take on the former Boy Wonder was refreshingly bright for a bat book, in both narrative tone and visual style, and put Dick in the comics spotlight for the first time in years. The unique kinetic language and attention to detail that Bruno brought to the character helped the series top itself month after month and, ultimately, earn Eisner Awards for Best Continuing Series and Best Single Issue. Bruno would also take home the Eisner for Best Cover Artist. 


THE DC ART OF BRUNO REDONDO will feature a collection of Bruno's extensive work with DC, as well as an introduction by Bruno’s frequent creative partner, #1 New York Times-bestselling writer Tom Taylor. The campaign will also feature extras, including rarely-seen sketches and commissions, Redondo’s Nightwing covers, a fold-out edition of the iconic Nightwing #87, a sticker pack, a poster pack, and more, available in Clover Press’ traditional options of hardcover, dust jacket, slipcase, and signed slipcase editions.


“I’ve known Bruno since his days on Injustice, and knew he had an amazing career ahead of him,” said Clover Press Publisher Hank Kanalz. “I’m so proud of the extent to which he has risen, including multiple Eisners and being on the top of many writers’ request lists. And I think he’s just getting started!”

Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas #4 Review

 



Writer: Nancy A Collins

Artist: Jesús Hervás

Colorist: Marco Lesko

Letterer: Jim Campbell

Editor: David Leach

Publisher: Titan Comics

Price: $4.99

Release Date: March 4, 2026

 

Elle hoped to find sanctuary among her own kind in Las Vegas. Instead, she discovered that the Roman and the Egyptian Replicants had become oppressors. Nefertiti and Cleopatra welcomed Elle to their world. Yet she disliked the way they partied. How will the Queens of Las Vegas reward Elle's defiance? And will Elle meet the Semita, a clan of Replicants who view the Romans and Egyptians as their enemies? Let’s leap into Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas #4.

 

Story

Cleopatra and Nefertiti made Elle a princess. They threw gladiatorial games to welcome her to their family. But becoming a member of Egyptian royalty comes with responsibility. The Queens planned to wed her to Julius Caesar to cement their ties with the Romans. But when Elle saw Davis among the Human captives in the arena, she couldn't remain in her seat. For her defiance and assisting a Human, Cleopatra and Nefertiti sentenced her to death.

 

Nancy A Collins propels her story with confrontations among the Replicants, competition among two groups for Elle's head, and a Replicant faction opposed to Humans and any Replicants to perpetuate Human traditions. As each character gets a chance to shine, the central drama plays out between Davis and Elle in Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas #4. Niander Wallace Jr created Elle to kill others. Davis spent her Blade Runner career hunting Replicants. Yet both women want to make their own decisions about what is right, instead of being tools of others.

 

As Elle and Davis fight for their future, they learn more about what set them on this collision course. And when Elle needs help, she learns if she can count on her servant Vanna. As one of the Human intruders not killed or condemned to the arena, Vanna serves at the Egyptians' pleasure. Given how the Replicants welcomed her, Vanna has reason to hate them. But when she looks back on her life before Las Vegas, Vanna realizes that freedom and slavery are not as black and white as they seem.

 

Art

In the Las Vegas Sphere, Elle and Davis are tiny figures on the circular sand floor, about to be crushed between the soldiers' jaws. Egyptian obelisks on the floor and the raised arms of Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe cheering in the stands frame the confrontation. Jesús Hervás immerses us in the action as the Egyptians and Romans leap and lunge, thrust and slash.

 

Up in the royal box, Julius Caesar rages at the Queens in Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas #4. While both women wear Egyptian usekh, Cleopatra’s golden headdress suggests she is the center of their universe. Adorned with her cap crown, Nefertiti wields an ornamental knife, punishing anyone who disrespects her sister.

 

While yellow light streams into the Sphere, green tinges the cheering crowds. Red splashes across backgrounds amid the fight. The green, red, and gold of the Sphere combine colors from the Italian and Egyptian flags. Marco Lesko adorns Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas #4 with a restrained palette dominated by green, beige, red, and purple. But when the action moves to the Semita’s domain, where homeless Humans like Vanna once sought sanctuary, red, yellow, and blue glow like neon.

 

Jim Campbell fills white dialogue balloons with black uppercase letters that grow bold for intonation. Davis and Elle share what brought them here with blue and tan narrative boxes. The narrator comments on proceedings with italicized letters in beige boxes. Sound effects accentuate the spectacle in the Sphere, while two groups battle for Elle’s bounty in the streets of the irradiated entertainment capital of the world. Thanks to Titan Comics for providing a review copy.

 

Final Thoughts

Niander Wallace Jr brainwashed Elle. He made her believe that she was in love with him. Then he used her to increase his wealth and power. Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas #4 reminds us to be careful about who we identify with, who we allow to influence us, and the causes to which we dedicate our lives.

 

Rating: 9/10

Highlander: The Original Screenplay GN Preview

 


Highlander was an unstoppable force that spawned novels, comics, TV series, audio adventures, games, and yes, movie sequels. But the movie that appeared in cinemas, and more fans discovered via home video, differed from film's original vision. What compromises were made to secure funding, meet the film's budget and time constraints, and to appeal to as wide an audience as possible?

Here's all the info from Titan Comics:

 

LEGENDARY SAGA RETURNS IN HIGHLANDER: THE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY GRAPHIC NOVEL

 

HIGHLANDER (THE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY)

Author: Gregory Widen

Artist: Szymon Kudranski

Publisher: Titan Comics

HC, 128 pp, FC, $16.99

ISBN: 9781787747500

On sale: November 17, 2026

  

Titan Comics is proud to announce the release of Highlander: The Original Screenplay, a striking new graphic novel adaptation based on the original script by writer Gregory Widen, arriving in bookstores and comic shops on November 17, 2026.

 

This lavishly illustrated volume (art by Szymon Kudranski) presents the immortal saga of Connor MacLeod as it was first imagined - long before it became a cult-defining cinematic classic. Spanning centuries of history, epic duels, and shadowed rivalries, Highlander: The Original Screenplay follows Connor’s journey across eras as he faces other immortals in a deadly contest for a mysterious and ultimate prize.

 

Returning to the story's roots, the graphic novel offers fans a rare chance to experience Widen’s original narrative vision in full, capturing the mythic scale, tragic romance, and operatic violence that made Highlander a cultural touchstone.

 

“I have been a fan of Highlander since what feels like the dawn of time, so it’s a genuine thrill to bring this story back as originally envisaged by the man who created it all, Gregory Widen,” said Jonathan Wilkins, the editor of Highlander: The Original Screenplay. “For the first time, readers will be able to experience this epic adventure set across the centuries. It’s been a genuine thrill to work with Gregory to discover the various avenues his story explored before filming began. So get ready to visit the blood-stained highlands of the mid-1500s and the seamy streets of New York of the early 1980s for a spectacular take on an immortal tale!” 

 

With dynamic artwork from Szymon Kudranski and a cinematic sense of scope, Highlander: The Original Screenplay stands as both a celebration of the franchise’s origins and a thrilling new entry point for readers discovering the immortal legend for the first time.

  

Now, let's take a look inside:

Iyanu Season Two Begins

 

 

Viewers all over the world are discovering the first series of Iyanu, the animated series based on a powerhouse graphic novel. Last month, the prequel movie Iyanu: The War of Twin Princes debuted at the 2026 Pan African Film & Arts Festival (PAFF). Now, Lion Forge Entertainment are preparing to unleash their second series of episodes. How will Iyanu's life change? And how will the stakes grow bigger for our young hero?

Here's all the info from Lion Forge Entertainment:

 


Lion Forge Entertainment Announces March Premiere Date for Season Two of Animated Hit Series ‘Iyanu’ 


Team Chosen returns with higher stakes and a powerful new threat led by Queen Adura and the People of the Deep


Lion Forge Entertainment’s breakout animated fantasy series Iyanu returns for season two on March 21 on Cartoon Network and the following day on HBO Max. The debut season captivated young audiences and quickly became a cultural standout with strong ratings and engagement across both platforms.


Based on the graphic novel series Iyanu: Child of Wonder by Roye Okupe, and produced by Lion Forge Entertainment, Iyanu follows a teenage orphan who discovers her divine powers and her destiny to save the ancient kingdom of Yorubaland. 


Season two returns with 10 new episodes where we’ll see Iyanu continue to master her burgeoning powers as she finds herself in the midst of a fierce conflict between Elu and the People of the Deep, led by a new formidable opponent. With various factions of Yorubaland vying for powerful divine artifacts that have reemerged, Iyanu strives to find a way to end the war and restore peace. As Team Chosen reunites and tensions rise between old allies and foes, Iyanu must confront even more powerful threats from the Age of Wonders - including secrets buried deep within her own past.


Season two continues Iyanu’s evolution as her powers deepen and the weight of leadership intensifies. As long-buried history resurfaces, rising tensions across Yorubaland awaken powerful ancient magic.


Returning cast includes Serah Johnson as Iyanu; Okey Jude as Biyi; and Sam Kugbiyi as Toye. New cast for season two includes Faith Gesiere Agua as Queen Adura and David Onwubalili as Boju.


The show’s executive producers are David Steward II, Stephanie Sperber, Kirsten Newlands and Matt Heath from Lion Forge Entertainment, Erica Dupuis of Impact X Capital, Ryan Haidarian of Forefront Media Group and Doug Schwalbe of Superprod. Iyanu was adapted from Roye Okupe’s graphic novel series Iyanu: Child of Wonder by Youneek Studios and Dark Horse Comics. Okupe, who also serves as series creator, executive producer, and showrunner, is excited about the expansion of the Iyanu universe.


Iyanu continues to be celebrated for its rich world-building, stunning animation, and authentic portrayal of African culture and mythology. The success of the series and its expanded universe perfectly align with Lion Forge’s mission to create multiple quality stories across various platforms from one core narrative, further solidifying its place in the global entertainment landscape.


The Iyanu universe continues to expand, with another feature-length film currently in development for network and streaming platforms. The franchise has also earned major critical recognition, including two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Children’s Program and Outstanding Writing in a Television Movie, Documentary, or Special for Iyanu: The Age of Wonders. Its cultural impact continues to resonate globally, most recently winning the MIPAfrica Inclusive Lens Award in the Older Kids category. Further elevating its international reach, Nigerian pop star Yemi Alade received the AFRIMA Award for Best Soundtrack in a Movie, Series, or Documentary for her song “You Are,” the opening theme for Iyanu.


Lion Forge Entertainment Founder and CEO David Steward II says, “Iyanu has proven itself to be a standout series, and we’re thrilled to continue that journey with season two. This next chapter raises the stakes in every way, from the scale of the story to the depth of its characters. Iyanu season two marks an exciting milestone for the franchise’s continued growth. We’re confident viewers will be drawn even deeper into this world as Iyanu’s adventure expands with bold storytelling and powerful new challenges.”


“Iyanu’s journey in season two is one of secrets, sacrifice, and the true cost of leadership, and it has been the most rewarding creative experience of my career,” said Creator, Showrunner, Executive Producer, Roye Okupe. “I am thrilled to once again partner with Lion Forge Entertainment to bring this project to life.”


Fans can currently catch up on Season 1 of Iyanu, including the finale movie special Iyanu: The Age of Wonders, now on HBO Max in the U.S. The series is also available internationally, streaming on Showmax across 44 African countries, ITVX in the United Kingdom, ABCiview in Australia, and in the United Arab Emirates and wider MENA region on Ejunior Kids TV and STARZPLAY.
