- Dennis Liu and Jason Piperberg have released the trailer for their new comic book Raising Dion.
- Premise, via the creator's site: "Imagine Superman, but from Martha Kent's point of view. Or imagine Spiderman, but from Aunt May's point of view. This is a superhero story, but from the parent's point of view. But unlike her son, she doesn't have any powers."
- The series is notable for having the protagonist be a black single mother, Nicole, which the creator said was intentional: "Honestly, as a member of the DGA EDSC [Directors Guild of America Eastern Diversity Steering Committee] Diversity council for several years, I felt like something had to be done about superhero diversity [...] I also felt the industry was simply answering the gender card by glorifying women as a war hero, like in The Hunger Games, or the new Wonder Woman film coming out. I think this [approach] works, but I wanted to point out that it doesn’t have to be the only solution."
- This needs to be a Netflix series immediately.
