Comic fans, prepare yourselves: two of pop culture’s most iconic heroes are swinging back into a shared universe.

Earlier this year, I shared Glinda as a Pink Thing of the Day, but with the release of the new film Wicked: For Good (full disclosure: I haven’t seen either movie yet), it only seems right to give Elphaba her moment in the spotlight as well.
