From stuff that is hot, and things that are not nearly as interesting – it’s Top Five.

With the news that the ‘Constantine’ TV show has officially been deemed dead by its producer, we may have the first cancellation of the post-Avengers small-screen superhero wave.  (At least, the first one *I* can remember, but feel free to correct me if I missed one?)  It’s something of a shame, in that the adaptation was relatively faithful to the founding father of Vertigo that it brought to life, and could easily have been even more so away from the boundaries and vagaries of network broadcasting.  Still, as a long-term comics fan, cancellation is a common tale (remember, even the…
