It’s an eggroll. But did you know that in the right hands, it can be a deadly weapon?

Is it reassuring or frightening to see toxic masculinity as a worldwide problem?

How do you transform Transformers animation? You make an out and out comedy series. Though there has always been some built-in humor to the franchise, it’s overall been played straight.

Kamala Khan daydreams about superheroes. She moderates and writes fanfiction about them.

Though fewer phases than the moon, it looks like Marc Spector has 3 faces of Moon Knight. At least, in the television series.

Yes, Deadpool 3 has direction at last! To bring Deadpool into the proper Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney needed someone who could both accentuate Ryan Reynolds’ strengths and make sure there’s an actual solid script around him.

Hot on the heels of conquering the box office with The Batman, Warner Bros. has had to rethink their superheroic release plans.

This once was considered “a true story.” It was The Conjuring before The Conjuring (and the Warrens “investigated” the original haunting).

I don’t know how or if Marvel’s Infinite Comics adapt to hard copies. They’re clearly not meant to be — though Marvel didn’t pioneer this form, they’ve embraced it on the Marvel Unlimited service. Instead of catering to fanboys, they can get more experimental and more niche with their characters. My suspicion is that actually…
When the live-action adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s The Boys finally made it to television, it was a smash success. It hit harder than Homelander, and the second season only got bigger. Sony and Prime Video couldn’t produce a third season fast enough. They needed something to tide audiences over, something… diabolical. This…
What happens when a boy detective hits a mid-life crisis? John Hunchman is pushing 40, still solving mysteries for teenagers, and hanging around with his childhood bully.

“When heaven’s in the music, Hell is in control.” So Richard O’Brien once wrote, and Dave Grohl carries that duality forward with Studio 666.

Despite being an easy punchline for years, some really interesting things have been done with the concept of Ant-Man. Let’s say concept, because so far, three people have worn the helmet.

I’ll grant you, my objections are pedantic. Until viewing Joe Wright and Erica Schmidt’s musical Cyrano, I was only vaguely aware of how closely I held Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac to my heart. I’ve read the translations and adaptations by Brian Hooker, Anthony Burgess, and Frank Langella. I’ve even been in a production of Langella’s take, though…
Matt Ryan’s take on John Constantine may have left DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, but he’ll never be far away. He’s just in a different, more animated universe.

Valiant wasn’t messing around with its “Year of Valiant” idea. Big event after big event, but as far as we’re concerned, there’s nothing bigger than bringing in Liam Sharp for art duties on the latest X-O Manowar arc: Unconquered.

Eager for the next season of the dark and excellent adaptation of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s The Boys? Prime Video has a little something to tide you over. The Boys Presents: Diabolical animated anthology series gives us eight shorts that they claim are set in unseen corners of The Boys universe. Look closely. Though voiced by many…
In a weird way, this looks like it will serve as a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Before meeting artist Chris Kawagiwa at L.A. Comic Con, I knew his work.

Disney/Pixar’s Turning Red might have echoes of Teen Wolf to it — the 80s version, not the MTV version — but here’s my bet: there’s a lot more resonance here, using transformation into an animal as something more than just a clever metaphor to springboard into comedy. There will be comedy, but director Domee Shi has likely created a…
Released today on Gunpowder and Sky’s science fiction YouTube channel Dust, “Fempire” is not a simple “what if the roles were reversed?” exercise, though it’s likely no accident that this quasi-dystopian vision takes place in Texas.

After doing design work for The Matrix, creator Geoff Darrow teamed with the Wachowskis to launch Burlyman Entertainment. Darrow’s contribution was the charming and slightly oddball Shaolin Cowboy. There’s a little martial arts, a little philosophy, and a lot of monsters. Like the other major book from Burlyman, Doc Frankenstein, it appeared a little whenever.…
The evil that men do lives after them. So the Bard once said, and what people didn’t understand is that it’s way too easy to do evil. All someone really has to do is ignore the evil they know about. Dostoevsky explored that idea, but it is Ursula K. LeGuin’s 1974 short story “The Ones…
At its heart, Firestarter is almost a superhero story. Of course, there’s a fine line between hero and monster. Maybe that’s one reason Stephen King’s novels keep getting remade into film. The upcoming Firestarter adaptation from Blumhouse and Universal Studios marks the third version — at a time when audiences have embraced the fantastic like never before. In…
Pixar could be showing us scenes out of order, and certainly out of context. Though there are clearly light moments, Lightyear may be more of a hard sci-fi film than we thought.

Recently on a Facebook group I belong to, we had a slight debate over the title of a horror novel by Brian Asman called Man, F*ck This House. (The asterisk is mine.)

At first glance, Primos has all the rhythms of a classic Marvel book from the late 70s or early 80s.

Sometimes, the job of an artist is to illuminate the struggles of our times. To put their hand on our shoulder and say, “I know.” Great art can become a dialogue, when the reader (in the case of comics) can say it back to the artist. That’s a long-winded way of saying that Xeric award-winning…
Do you long for your halcyon days of innocence? When you hung out with your best friends, playing games after school, reading comics, and uncovering a centuries-old religious conspiracy? Then Winona Forever might strike a chord. It certainly was at LA. Comic Con, where writer Shawn Patrick Boyd and artist Elijah Henry hosted a busy table…
In comics, even in hindsight, Peacemaker doesn’t seem the most …family friendly… of characters. He loves peace so much he’s willing to kill for it. James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad and brilliant follow-up HBO Max series Peacemaker extended that a little. Though in both those live-action examples the character walks a fine line between hilarious and ultra-violent,…
A trippy science fiction classic gets an all-new graphic novel adaptation from Titan Comics.

A post-apocalyptic retelling of Peter Pan, it never quite jelled, but Marvin Aday and Jim Steinman did. They would play songs from the show…
The boys sit down for a discussion of what exactly Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is, means, and will be in the coming months.
Last month Titans Comics announced that superstar writer Dan Slott would tackle Doctor Who in a series of specials. The first one would focus on the 10th Doctor and Martha, collaborating with artist Christopher Jones. Today Titan released “Cover A” from that first special — and Adam Hughes has captured the spirits of Freema Agyeman and…
Belle may be a tale old as time, but it’s told through the lens of tomorrow’s technology. Writer/director Mamoru Hosoda makes no secret of the debt to the classic fairy tale; Belle and “The Dragon” even dance in a grand ballroom scene recreating the Disney version. Using a virtual world, Hosoda doesn’t so much flip…
Technically, Marvel may not have done this before. When Sam Wilson took up the mantle of Captain America, Steve Rogers ended up in a book called Steve Rogers, Super Soldier. And while ordinarily I lament that Marvel tends to disguise finite arcs as “all new ongoing books,” something about this feels right, and needed right now. Both…
Of course you don’t believe it. Of course I don’t believe it. On the eve of the 30th anniversary of the “Death of Superman” event, DC will kill the Justice League. To show they’re serious, they’re cancelling Justice League with April’s issue #75. Except, of course, we know better, and this is at least the 10th…
He thinks he’s mild-mannered intellectual Steven Grant. Nagging visions tell him otherwise. Comics fans know that Grant is just one identity for Marc Spector, Moon Knight. Sometimes known as the Fist of Khonshu, Moon Knight started out a bit like who Batman became. Gravely wounded in an Egyptian pyramid, mercenary Spector was resurrected by the…
People, the perfect opening credits sequence has been created. With apologies to fans of The Peacemaker in comics, there’s something inherently ridiculous in his appearance, so there’s something ridiculous about the opening credits. Show creator/director/writer/executive producer James Gunn gets it. Three episodes in, and this show balances high stakes drama with buffoonery. And like Grant…
The Fox is back, and Dean Haspiel is in control. Despite being pretty strong characters, the Mighty Crusaders from Archie Comics and/or Red Circle have trouble catching reader’s attentions. Maybe it’s because on the surface they look like knock-offs of other more popular characters. (The average comics reader doesn’t know or care that The Shield…
The character Bloodshot has lived many lives. Infused with nanites that heal everything but his memory, he’s the perfect weapon. Until, of course, he goes rogue.

Not every rock band can play fictional versions of themselves the way the Beatles could. But if any band can do it and make us laugh with them, it’s Foo Fighters. After watching the trailer for Studio 666, the real question is: why did it take so long? The upcoming horror comedy sees the band…
Not that the DC Extended Universe currently hangs together the way the Marvel Cinematic Universe does. At best, it’s like DC Comics in the early 1970s — some stories may look like they fit, but they’re really The Brave and the Bold. (Fun book, especially when you’re a kid, but it was out there on its…
When playing in the sandbox of a famous ghost story, a filmmaking team has to put their own spin on it. If anything trips up The Legend of La Llorona, it’s that urge to keep spinning. Director Patricia Harris Seeley starts out creepily enough, shooting an atmospheric scene of a Mexican family trying to cross…
If you watched The Book of Boba Fett chapter two this week, you saw a wookie more imposing than Chewbacca. That would be Black Krrsantan, a disgraced exile from Kashyyk. As formidable a bounty hunter as Fett himself, there’s good reason for the two to stare each other down. Though he quickly exited so this chapter could…
Year-end "Best of" lists serve one purpose for me: call out something that I didn't hear about, or meant to read/watch and forgot. To say the comics on this list are "the best," maybe they are. Really, they're ones I read that stuck with me. There may be others this year that you enjoyed that I missed, and I want to hear about them. I won't objectively call them "the best;" subjectively, they're just great.
He’s a problematic character. Not really a hero, and never really was. But fans love the seeming cut and dried approach to punishing criminals, so Frank Castle moved from being a Spider-Man villain to one of Marvel’s top franchises. In the real world, subgroups of police departments have adopted his chest logo. Original co-creator Gerry…

You’ll catch a glimpse of America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), the super-powered teen from another universe. You’ll see Shoggoth (Shoggoth). And you’ll see… well, maybe Marvel’s What If? plays a bigger part in the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe than previously thought.…

One of the best comics writers working for Marvel will take a trip in the TARDIS.

Did the multiverse concept save storytelling for the Big Two in comics? It sure looks like it. Half of DC’s current line-up seems to be tied into their future state, and Marvel keeps wading into the pool of the MCU.

Reading every comic book Marvel has released is a Sisyphean task. By the time you’ve finished 27,000+, they’ve added another 1,000.

The damage we do, the scars we leave, were once said to be invisible. More likely now, they’re so constant and present that they just fade into the background. So much noise, so much violence to people and places, that we look down and just keep walking. That can only go on so long, though,…
