Comics and memoirs dominate the day
Today's book-related news is a mix of comic book previews and a celebrity memoir reveal. The most interesting thread is Ke Huy Quan's story about Spielberg and Lucas, which offers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into Hollywood generosity. The rest is standard comic book fare, with previews for Wolverine, Superman, and The Rocketeer.
Memoir reveals
The most human story of the day comes from Ke Huy Quan's new memoir, which pulls back the curtain on a quiet act of kindness from two Hollywood legends.
Comic book previews
Several comic series are heading into new issues this week, with previews offering a look at what's coming.
A preview for Wolverine #28 shows Logan with mismatched claws, dodging drones in Dallas. The article's tone is sarcastic, typical of Bleeding Cool's post-LOLtron era.
Superman: Father of Tomorrow #5 preview focuses on Jor-El recovering at the Kent farm while Hex Luthor, now magically empowered, makes his entrance. Out September 23rd.
The Rocketeer: Infiltrator #3 is the penultimate issue of the arc, described as another solid entry. Hits shelves this Wednesday.
