A New Mexico jury awarded Nichelle Nichols' family $13 million on June 4, finding Gila Regional Medical Center and a physician liable for her death in 2022.

Her estate attorney: "At the end of the day, Nichelle Nichols had a heart attack that was missed. That's why she died. Instead of transferring her for a full cardiac workup, the hospital discharged her because their systems discouraged transfers."
She died seven hours after discharge. She was 89.

Under New Mexico's Tort Claims Act, the family may collect only $400,000 from the hospital. A second lawsuit against the for-profit company that managed the hospital is set for trial later this year — uncapped.

Is there something wrong with our medical system?

A DC Comics insider tells Fandom Pulse that Marvel and DC Comics are in preliminary talks to combine their universes:

"Some at both companies believe that is the only option, while others believe it is a mistake
It would work as basically one large multiverse."

Would this save comics or just create a bigger disaster?

Stargate SG-1 writer Joseph Mallozzi on the fans being important and Amazon not seeing it:

"I mean, they do to me otherwise I wouldn’t be updating this blog on the daily, interacting with them here and on other social media platforms, uploading behind-the-scenes pics, videos, and insights into the shows I have helped produce over the years. But, increasingly, it seems that in the eyes of many execs, they do not. And I honestly don’t get it."

Why doesn't corporate respect the fans?

IDW announced TMNT #300 has topped 200,000 pre-orders.

The fine print: it is issue #20 of the current ongoing series, renumbered by combining the issue counts of all prior TMNT volumes. The milestone was manufactured. The 200,000 number reflects a blind bag program featuring rare Eastman and Laird covers, Frank Miller and J. Scott Campbell TMNT debuts, and speculator-driven ordering, not 200,000 readers waiting for the story.

IDW's only other significant franchise is a Star Trek line staffed with activist writers building books for people who don't read Star Trek.

The direct market celebrates pre-order numbers. Nobody reports how many issues are actually read.

Are you buying TMNT #300 for the story or the covers?

Marjane Satrapi, creator of Persepolis, died June 4 at 56. Her family said she "died of sadness," a year after the death of her husband, whom she described as "the love of my life." ScreenRant

Persepolis remains one of the most significant graphic novels ever published, an autobiographical account of growing up during the Iranian Revolution, translated into more than 20 languages. Satrapi was the first woman nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar.

She was an outspoken critic of Iran's theocratic government and an advocate for women's rights who never returned to Iran after leaving decades ago.

Did you read this graphic novel?

Grace Randolph of Beyond the Trailer reacted to Milly Alcock's Supergirl press tour this week and called it "not good," describing the interviews as "rough."

She compared Alcock's comments to Rachel Zegler's Snow White press tour and brought up The Marvels, both films where press tour controversy destroyed marketing momentum before opening weekend.

DC Studios co-chairman Peter Safran told Alcock she was handling the backlash "beautifully."

Current domestic tracking: $40-50 million. Break-even requirement is about $425 million worldwide.

The conservative audience and the mainstream Hollywood analyst community now agree on the press tour. What does that mean for the opening weekend?
