Published Mon, 12 Mar 2018 12:10:38 -0500

Superstar comic book writers Gail Simone and "The Great One" Brian Michael Bendis are set to guest star on an online trivia contest show to promote Syfy's Krypton TV show. Dubbed Krypton's Fan of Steel Live Trivia Challenge, the contest, hosted by Tiffany Smith, will run nightly starting today at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, and fans who really know their super-stuff can win $1,000 if they take the grand prize each night. The last episode will air right before Krypton's premiere on March 21st.

Bendis, of course, recently jumped ship from Marvel to DC and will be writing both Superman and Action Comics after Action Comics #1000. Gail Simone is Gail Simone and can go and do whatever she pleases — who's going to stop her?!
