MARVEL'S THE GIFTED
Marvel and Fox has debuted a trailer for The Gifted, the new mutant series beginning on the network in the fall on Mondays at 9 p.m.
To watch the trailer, CLICK HERE.
Here's how the show is described:
"The Gifted tells the story of a suburban couple whose ordinary lives are rocked by the sudden discovery that their children possess mutant powers. Reed (Stephen Moyer) and Caitlin (Amy Acker) Strucker are typical middle-class parents dealing with the realities of raising a family. However, when their teenage kids, Lauren and Andy (Percy Hynes White), are involved in an incident at their high school which reveals they are mutants, Reed and Caitlin do all in their power to protect their children. Forced to go on the run, the Struckers must leave behind their old lives to flee from a relentless government agency that tracks down mutants, the Sentinel Services, which includes Agent Jace Turner (Coby Bell). Complicating matters further is the fact that Reed is a prosecutor in the district attorney's office tasked with going after mutants. Desperate and running low on options, the family's only choice is to contact an underground network that helps mutants in trouble. The mutants in the network -- Eclipse / Marcos Diaz (Sean Teale), Blink / Clarice Fong (Jamie Chung), Polaris / Lorna Dane (Emma Dumont) and Thunderbird / John Proudstar (Blair Redford) -- are dealing with their own issues. With one of their members in prison and their team possibly compromised, they face an uncertain future in a world that looks increasingly dangerous for mutants.
"Written by Matt Nix, directed by Bryan Singer and executive-produced by Nix, Singer, Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory, The Gifted is a story of survival, a story of mutants coming to terms with who they are, a story of parents accepting the fact that their kids aren't who they thought they were and loving them just the same -- even if all of their lives are at risk because of it."

DC COMICS' DOOMSDAY CLOCK
Geoff Johns has confirmed Watchmen will make a return to the DC Universe this November.
As "The Button" crossover comes to a close in The Flash #22 this Wednesday, the four-page epilogue affirms the mystery will continue with Doomsday Clock from Johns and artists Gary Frank and Brad Anderson.
"It's time. Last year, the DC Universe confronted the legacy of Watchmen in Rebirth the way Watchmen confronted the legacy of superhero comics three decades ago," Johns said. "Thematically, and metaphorically, there was no better choice than to use Dr. Manhattan. If you're going to have a conflict between optimism and pessimism, a battle between the very forces of hope and despair, you need to have someone who personifies the cynicism that has leaked into our hearts and also has the ability to affect the entire DCU. It's all paying off this November with Doomsday Clock."
"Doomsday Clock is a story for fans who love the DC Universe and Watchmen and want to see what a master of this genre creates when he puts them together," Frank said. "As for my artistic approach to the series, each panel is extremely detailed and I am constantly thinking through the position of every single element."
