Article by Steve J. Ray

DC Comics have given us a sneak peek at Flash Facts, a brand new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) graphic novel, aimed for the young and the young-at-heart. It’s all about the science… and all about the fun!

The Big Bang Theory is one of my all-time favorite TV shows, so when I heard that real-life scientist, and one of the stars of the show, Mayim Bialik, would be curating this collection of brand new stories for DC, I got very, very happy!

Imagine stories featuring your favorite DC characters in all-new adventures that highlights the best of today’s real life science and technology! As a teacher and educator myself, I couldn’t be more excited.

Here’s the full DC press release, including a complete, brand new story featuring Batman and Plastic Man!

DC Entertainment is sharing the first excerpt reveal for Flash Facts – DC’s first-ever STEM graphic novel for kids. Hitting stores February 2, 2021, the middle grade anthology is curated by Big Bang Theory star and scientist Mayim Bialik and features a collection of short stories by an all-star roster of writers and artists including Varian Johnson, Cecil Castellucci, Kirk Scroggs, Michael Northrop, Isaac Goodhart and many more.

Wow! If the rest of the book is this good, then I’m buying multiple copies; for myself, nieces and nephews, and for the kid siblings of some of my students.

Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
