Everything’s Archie: Norm Breyfogle is interviewed by Matthew Price over at NewsOK. The subject? Archie and the gang at Riverdale.
George R.R. Martin: You know what’s coming up in November, back in print after a decade? Wild Cards 1, expanded with new stuff.

Batman Under the Red Hood: SF Signal has a review of the just-released DVD.

10: “Stan Lee wants to make my hair into a super-hero. Who’s Stanley?”
9: “I didn’t know Princess Leia had so many yummy slave sisters.”
8: “Want to buy my pass for Sunday?”
7: “How much is my copy of Spawn #1 worth?”
6: “I’m not cosplaying. I AM Rod Blagojevich.”
5: “I did not know ‘Blago’ was an old Lee-Ditko monster.”
