Welcome to Behind the Panels, the comic book show that’s coming to you live from Oz Comic Con.
In this issue, Supergirl comes to TV, writer and magician Alan Moore writes a book and the new Batmobile is sighted. THEN It’s the death of Wolverine and Batgirl becomes a roided ranga in What We’ve Been Reading. PLUS our Kick-Ass Pick of the Week: Batman the Killing Joke, which we’ll discuss with our very special guests Nicola Scott and Freddie E Williams II. This is Behind the Panels
Your Hosts: Richard Gray, David McVay plus Special Guests Nicola Scott and Freddie E Williams II
Special Thanks

Death of Wolverine, Batgirl, Annihilator
News Headlines
- Greg Berlanti DC Entertainment that they are “quietly” working on a Supergirl TV series for The CW.
- After 9 years, writer and beard enthusiast Alan Moore has finished all 1 million words of the first draft of his novel Jerusalem.
- Marvel Comics will replace Wolverine with Peter Parker when the comic ‘Spider-Man & The X-Men’ sends Spidey to teach at the Jean Grey Academy
- If you were paying attention online this week, set pictures of the Batmobile were leaked from ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’. They first looked as though they’d left it in a bad part of Detroit. Of course, the final official photo assured us that Batman’s stance on “no guns” is flexible
- Guinness has a new record holder: Bob Bretall entered the book of records with his stash of over 94,268 comics and growing.
- And finally (we love this story), a 3-year old boy in the US – born without a fully developed hand – was given an Iron Man hand by the group E-Nabling, which makes 3D-printed prosthetic hands. They, of course, gave it to him for free.
