DC: CRIMES OF PASSION #1

DC is treating fans to a collection of short stories by some of the finest talent in comics.

With tales including some of DC’s biggest heroes, the loved up, 80-page one-shot is even rumoured to reunite Harley

Quinn and The

Joker.

The 10 stories play out through the narration of private investigat­or

Slam Bradley, who promises more intrigue than you can shake a stick at.

It features tales by Steve Orlando, Stephanie Phillips, and Liz Erickson, and stunning artwork by Greg Smallwood, John Paul Leon and many more.

■ DC: Crimes of Passion #1 is out now priced £9.

FEED ME SEYMOUR

FRESH from his success at the Golden Globes, Taron Egerton is purportedl­y in talks to star in a remake of Little Shop of Horrors.

The Rocketman star would be taking on the lead of Seymour Krelborn, the florist whose shop becomes the centre of the action.

Rumours also suggest that Scarlett Johansson could also be in the frame for a role in the musical, which tells the tale of Seymour who finds a mysterious Venus flytrap during an eclipse.

Discoverin­g it can speak, he plonks it in the window of his failing business – but soon discovers the plant has more sinister motivation­s.

AS THE CROW FLIES

THE movie adaptation of James O’Barr’s graphic novel The Crow passed in to legend after the death of its star Brandon Lee.

Two lacklustre sequels and a short lived TV series later, and despite its cult status, The Crow disappeare­d.

Now it would appear it could be about to make a come back, with plans for a reboot ‘in the works.’ It’s still very early days, but I have my fingers crossed that Aquaman’s Jason Momoa – once linked to an abandoned reboot in 2018 – is still interested in starring.
