Expect much hype surrounding the release this summer of Warner Bros.'s Man of Steel. Warner Bros. Animation is doing their bit with the original video Superman: Unbound based on the "Brainiac" arc from phenom Geoff Johns's run on Action Comics (conveniently collected as Superman: Brainiac). With voice work by Matt Bomer as Clark Kent/Superman, the film is due out on 7 May 2013 in multiple platforms. As is standard practice with DC Universe Animated Original Movies,the Blu-ray version (single disc only this time and no digital copy) will include the bulk of the extras (feature commentary, making-of featurettes, and--though don't ask me why--a selection of related cartoons), and the DVD release getting the shaft with only a first look at the upcoming Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (also available on the Blu-ray).
Originating in 2010, Saving the Day: Accessing Comics in the Twenty-first Century is designed as a aid to furthering studies of the comics, comic art, and translations of comics into/from other media. The blog is associated with both The Arthur of the Comics Project, an effort of the Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain, and The Medieval Comics Project, an effort of the Association for the Advancement of Scholarship and Teaching of the Medieval in Popular Culture.
