An Avalance wedding, intergalactic bowling, and a Clue-themed murder mystery game? It’s all in a days’ work for DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The fan favorite Arrowverse series had its Comic-Con@Home panel today, where they premiered their season 6b trailer. A lot has happened to the crew of the Waverider over the past season, and the showrunners and cast teased what awaits in season 7.

Season 6b will see the return of Matt Ryan’s John Constantine, who will wrap up his run as the occult detective at the end of the season. However, it won’t be the end of Ryan’s tenure on the show: he will return in season 7 as an entirely new character, Welsh doctor Gwyn Davies, “an eccentric scientist from the early 20th century who might be the team’s only hope next season.” Season 7 will find the Legends stranded in the past sans their technology, with Ryan’s Dr. Davies as the only man who can help them return to the Waverider.

Ryan said of the roles, “As everyone who loves him knows, in the end, John Constantine will walk his path alone. The time has come for John to part ways with the Legends, and for me to part ways with John. I’m really excited to be creating this new role on the show and having some fun with it—discovering how this new character fits in and causes some trouble for the Legends.”

Another familiar face will be joining the crew, as Amy Louise Pemberton will finally play the ship’s AI Gideon in the flesh. Pemberton has voiced Gideon since the beginning of the series, and while she has appeared a handful of times in her corporeal form, the change looks to be permanent.

Legends of Tomorrow also announced the release of a 21-track soundtrack album featuring the series’ musical numbers, including the David Bowie–inspired “Space Girl”, Brandon Routh’s “Mr. Parker’s Cul-De-Sac”, and many more favorites. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: The Mixtape (Songs from the Original Television Soundtrack) will be available on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, Amazon, and more on August 20.

What's shakin' folks! It's that time  AGAIN!  Check out a new installment of Afronerd Radio's The Grindhouse broadcast airing this Sunday at 6 p. m. eastern on the BTalk 100 internet radio platform. The topics to be unpacked by your local AFROnerdist hosts are:  two stories hitting the cyberwebs that appear to be seemingly connected....the first story involves the growing popularity of Atlanta, GA restaurant, "The Bando" that channels ghettoized stereotypes with delicacies such as "Crack Wings"      

The second narrative highlights certain aspects of the culture/society being lowered stemming from comedienne, Monique's recent commentary concerning the sloven appearance of some Black women she has encountered during her travels.  Unfortunately, quite a few social media responses were not favorable toward her (rather astute) observations:

The Vertigo comic, Sweet Tooth gets its close up/cinematic translation via Netflix as it premieres this weekend; TheMarySue.com site highlights up and coming Blerd and CEO (Weird Enough Productions), Tony Weaver and his manga series, The Uncommons; hopefully, Dburt will get around to actually having that state of crypto discussion; sci-fi/afrofuturism author, N.K. Jemisin, just inked a 7-figure deal with TriStar Pictures allowing her to adapt her Broken Earth trilogy to film.  Lastly, after discussing the cancellation of Netflix' Jupiter's Legacy and how we thought that a low budget might've been an issue....well it turns out it cost 200M!!!  Where did the money go?

Cheers, people!  Let's get to it with the swiftness.  Listen to the latest installment of Afronerd Radio's Mid Week in Review airing this Wednesday at 8 p.m. eastern on the BTalk 100 platform.  The topics to be discussed by your competent AFROnerdist hosts are as follows:  the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has arrived but not without controversy.  The current magazine is sporting three separate covers featuring tennis champion, Naomi Osaka; rapper, Megan Thee Stallion, and model/actor, Lenya Bloom, the first transgender person to share the feature spot....we give our thoughts; Marvel's long-awaited and highly anticipated film, Black Widow entered its second week of release with a precipitous drop in revenue and now the speculators are wondering why did it happen and, does this spell trouble for Disney's decade-plus commercial streak?; something we failed to address during Sunday's Grindhouse show, must be addressed-the finances of our favorite comic creators.  the daughter of noted graphic novelist, Alan Moore explains and defends her father concerning his consistent critique of the comic industry's long-standing failure to pay writers fairly for their IPs that have gone on to become billion-dollar franchises;        

Dburt has some thoughts about a recent commentary by recent guest, Dr. T. Hasan Johnson concerning the not-so-subtle obfuscation of Black men and their accomplishments by mainstream media;  Didn't we just dissect the UK racism story involving vitriol spewed toward black British football players?  Well let's fast forward to the hatred foisted upon Formula One racing great, Lewis Hamilton, who received online racist barbs after he won the British Grand Prix; Lastly, educator/progressive pundit and resident blerd, Dr. Jason Johnson has some rather interesting "black lens" thoughts pertaining to Disney +'s Loki finale.    

One thing that Dburt is doing (finally) is investing in cryptocurrency, courtesy of Roundlyx. We would implore our followers to investigate, discern and then explore by using our referral code: afro-87A4BF
