What is Savage Wizard?

Are you ready for 28 pages of gut busting adventure? Do you want some sword wielding brutality? If you are a fan of fantasy comedy like SkullKickers with a little mix of hard violence like Savage Sword of Conan and a dose of head turning action sequences the likes of Headlopper, you will want Savage Wizard!

There is only one thing barbarian chief R’Nar lives for; the battlefield. R’Nar finds himself ousted from his clan by his best friend Skom. While Skom begins to search for a legendary blade he believes will allow him to rule the world R’nar, now dishonored drifts aimlessly. It’s up to the doom-crying quirky wizard Oqora to force R’Nar to reclass to a wizard if they are to have any hopes to stop the end of the world.

3 – Disney’s Legal Battle Over Marvel Superhero Rights
The Walt Disney Company has become embroiled in a legal battle over its intellectual property (again). This time, a host of famous Marvel superheroes are involved. The estates of former Marvel artists say they should soon recover some ownership of these characters; the House of Mouse begs to differ.

What has happened? Disney is suing the estates of prominent comics writers and illustrators, in a bid to establish that it entirely owns certain Marvel characters these artists helped create.

Why now? Earlier this year, these estates served Disney’s Marvel Entertainment with notices of copyright termination. They contend that Marvel’s copyrights to these characters will start expiring from 2023, because of the way the characters were created.

4 – ‘Babylon 5’ Series Reboot From J. Michael Straczynski In Works At the CW

A new version of the Emmy-winning space opera television series Babylon 5 is in the works. The CW has put in development Babylon 5, described as a “from-the-ground-up reboot” of the critically acclaimed 1990s series, from original series creator J. Michael Straczynski and Warner Bros. Television.

Written by Straczynski, the reboot revolves around John Sheridan (played by Bruce Boxleitner in the original series), an Earthforce officer with a mysterious background, who is assigned to Babylon 5, a five-mile-long space station in neutral space, a port of call for travelers, smugglers, corporate explorers and alien diplomats at a time of uneasy peace and the constant threat of war. His arrival triggers a destiny beyond anything he could have imagined, as an exploratory Earth company accidentally triggers a conflict with a civilization a million years ahead of us, putting Sheridan and the rest of the B5 crew in the line of fire as the last, best hope for the survival of the human race.
