  3. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA boy criminal mastermind who steals from fairies is returning to the screen, Kenji, and the studio has made no further statement.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo it's a development deal. Nobody's even drawn him yet.

  5. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI asked for a sandbag report on this one. It came back empty, and I find that suspicious.
