DC continues its take on Hana-Barbera characters with its send-up of Snagglepuss. GLAAD has nominated 10 comics for this year’s Media Awards. And Vault Comics will launch with Natasha Alterici’s Heathen.  On TV: Kristen Stewart dropped the F-Bomb on SNL. Peter Capaldi is stepping down as Doctor Who. S.W.A.T. is returning to TV. And Berlanti is bringing Black Lightning home to the CW. In Comics, we can finally review Mighty Captain Marvel #1 and Angel #1.
