Remembering comic artist pioneer Tony DeZuniga who paved the way for Filipino artists in America – CBS Sacramento
[DeZuniga's wife] Tina said Tony helped bring a publisher to the Philippines, opening doors for artists who wanted to work with major comic book companies. "So that's why now, even the young artists are enjoying (working) for DC, Marvel, and other publishers. It's because of Tony. He's the one who started the whole thing (for) the Filipino artists. That's why he's like a hero for all these artists."
Although the two grew up near each other in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, they did not meet until their paths crossed in Stockton..."

This is the Lawless Age of Comics where there is no right or wrong. Where anyone and everyone has a chance to be included. Where there are only results and nobody really cares how they are achieved, they just need to be done. After all, this is a place of business, not a wish factory. Once you understand that, hopefully you’ll be able to sneak your imagination into this beautiful machine..."

DC trying to blend horror with the DCU – Washington Post
Clayface is a darker detour for DC. And, if it proves successful, it just might open up a darker frontier for comic book movies. "From the get-go, this was not designed to be a traditional superhero movie," Safran says. "It was always supposed to be a character-driven story that uses the DC mythology. If you took the DC elements out of it, it would just be a great horror movie." That makes Clayface something unusual in the normally calculated realm of superhero movies. It’s R-rated. It’s modestly budgeted at $40 million. And it stars the relatively unknown Tom Rhys Harries as a little-known DC villain...."

Asterix in Japan – Actuabd
Asterix the Gaul ... has been translated into more than a hundred languages and local dialects...in Japan, a country widely recognized as one of the world's largest consumers of comic books, only the first three volumes of Asterix have been translated.
This almost seems like a joke...how can there be such neglect for one of the most famous French-language comic series... the reasons are complicated...

What did the disaster around DC's Justice League movie really cost? – AOL
It's been nine years since Justice League first hit theaters and five years since Zack Snyder's Justice League premiered on HBO Max. Between the two releases, the film cost Warner Bros. an estimated $370 million to make — $300 million for the first version, which underwent extensive rewrites and reshoots after Joss Whedon replaced Snyder as director, and an additional $70 million for the Snyder Cut. And that's just production costs. After factoring in marketing and promotion expenses, the price tag for one of the most infamous superhero movies ever becomes even bigger..."
Estimating a probable marketing promotional spend of $60 to $100 million, the film would have needed to earn some $940 million in box office to get past what it cost to put in front of popcorn eaters, since theaters generally keep 50% of ticket sales.
Currently, Justice League is #41 on the Top Earning Superhero Films of All Time list, with $661,324,295 reported worldwide box office, with $229,024,295 of that attributed to domestic earnings. Also, at the-numbers.com, it is listed as earning a very respectable $74,836,523 in Blu Ray and DVD sales. Though the film appears to have killed itself with a probable $200-$300 million loss for Warners as a cinematic product, the toy sales and licensing may have made up a lot of the difference (maybe) and another maybe is that it performed a benefit to the HBO streaming service for subscriptions of people wanting to see the four hour, two minute Snyder Cut version when it went online in March 18, 2021.
