Mary Shelley‘s gothic novel Frankenstein is a story constantly being retold — but almost never has it been retold faithfully. In 2015, we got Victor Frankenstein, the latest in screen adaptations bearing the Frankenstein name, but having little to do with the original text. This habit of less-than-faithful adaptations of Shelley’s work goes back a long time. The history

I am Iron Man… for 10 minutes or so. After watching Robert Downey Jr. swoop around the big screen for over a decade, who wouldn’t want to step into the iconic red and gold armor to take flight in Iron Man VR? When the upcoming experience was being demoed on the show floor at EGX
This Charmed review contains spoilers. Charmed Season 2, Episode 3 Macy is the only one with powers and she is Over It! More than being the only one who can actually fight a demon head-on, it’s the burden of saving witches — and the disappointment in not always being able to — that she’s tired of carrying
Halloween isn’t just for monsters anymore. For every Frankenstein Monster that comes to your door, there are probably sixteen Iron Men and a few Rocket Raccoons. It seems that Marvel (and DC) heroes have infringed on the monstrous monopoly of Halloween, but that’s OK, because to even things out, the Marvel Universe has its fair
When it was announced that The Outer Worlds would let you assemble a squad of companions, few people knew exactly what to make of that information. After all, the popular narrative surrounding The Outer Worlds concerned its status as the spiritual sequel to Fallout: New Vegas. While there were companions in Fallout: New Vegas, their
Over 50 Doctor Who podcasters, writers, and artists—as well as Classic Who star Sophie Aldred (aka Ace)—are coming together to record commentaries for Season 26, the final season of Classic Who, on the 30th anniversary of its original broadcast.

The next game in Ubisoft’s hacking-focused open-world series is called Watch Dogs Legion, Ubisoft confirmed ahead of E3 2019.

Legends of Tomorrow, arguably the best superhero show on The CW (yep, I said it), has been renewed for another season. Yes, friends, Legends of Tomorrow Season 5 will be in your eyeballs during the early 2020 TV season. The news was announced at the Winter Television Critics Association Tour, along with the renewal of nine
This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Ah, the ’80s. The decade of video nasties, The A-Team, Boy George, and Ronald Reagan. A time of conspicuous consumption and voluminous hair, the ’80s were also the decade when video games rapidly evolved, from the blocky 8-bit computers and consoles at its beginning to the more powerful
Stranger Things season 4 is happening! Netflix renewed the series just three months after the premiere of the third season. This isn’t a surprise. Not only does Netflix obviously want to keep the Stranger Things franchise going, but so do The Duffer Brothers and all the other folks who actually make Stranger Things. Otherwise, why keep the
Afterlife with Archie quickly went from high-concept gimmick to the most consistently entertaining comic on the market today. If we wanted to become overcome by hyperbole, we might have the cojones to say that the pairing of writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (whose success with the title resulted in him being named Archie’s Chief Creative Officer) and artist Francesco Francavilla is the
Goichi “Suda51” Suda (creator of No More Heroes and Killer 7) and Hidetaka “Swery65” Suehiro (creator of the infamous Deadly Premonition) are teaming up to work on a new horror game seemingly known as Hotel Barcelona. Everything about this announcement is strange, so you’re going to have to bear with us as we try to sort
It’s not a tornado that’s coming. It’s something much, much worse. The witches are coming. Despite what the false god and its propaganda machine would have you believe, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Season 3 and Season 4 will be delivered by Netflix. “Praise Satan! I’m so grateful to my partners at Warner Brothers, Netflix, Berlanti Television,
Other than superheroes, one genre has ruled the comic book world. Of course, that genre is horror, and since Halloween is imminent, we thought we’d take this opportunity to pay tribute to some of the greatest horror comics ever published. Now listen, these are just some of the groundbreaking, vitally important horror comics that have
We’ve stopped laughing long enough to bring you news that Bethesda is now offering a monthly (or yearly) subscription plan for Fallout 76. For either $12.99 a month (Hahahahaha) or $99.99 a year (Bwhahahahaha) you can access a premium Fallout 76 subscription plan known as Fallout 1st. What do you get for that tidy sum?
This Castle Rock review does not contain spoilers. Castle Rock Season 2 Episode 1 Reinterpreting a beloved Stephen King villain like Annie Wilkes is a tall order, but Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex) makes it look easy. Channeling a nervous energy and an obsessively clean mouth (although no “cockadoodies” just yet), Caplan completely transforms into
This article contains spoilers for The Dark Knight Returns and Dark Knight III: The Master Race. Frank Miller is on a roll. The celebrated comics auteur is sometimes quiet, but never forgotten. It took 15 years for Miller to revisit his most famous work, The Dark Knight Returns, with a sequel, The Dark Knight Strikes
Release Date: October 25, 2019Platform: PS4 (Reviewed), Xbox One, PCDeveloper: Obsidian EntertainmentPublisher: Private DivisionGenre: RPG Nostalgia can be dangerous. It encourages us to immortalize what was when we actually should be trumpeting how those things made us feel and pushed us to discover new experiences. We end up spinning our wheels in the same mentality while the world changes around
Marvel’s live-action arena is set for a profound sea change with news of the imminent exit of its longtime television head, Jeph Loeb. Loeb – an esteemed veteran comic book writer of top-tier titles across all major publishers – who has served as Marvel Studios’ Executive Vice President and Head of Television since 2010, is
Expansion is one of the key impulses in space opera. Much like the Westward Expansion movement of U.S. history—where believers in and proponents of Manifest Destiny deemed it the fate of Euro-Americans to settle across the continent—space opera traffics in ideas of humanity’s movement into the stars, building new ways to live beyond the confines
Thanos has been modded into Super Smash Bros Ultimate, with fans working together to splice the Mad Titan into the beloved Nintendo Switch game. Who wouldn’t want to see Josh Brolin’s big purple baddie from Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame going toe to toe with Italian plumbers, cute creatures and other Nintendo characters? The

A three-time Hugo Award winner for her Broken Earth series, N.K. Jemisin is one of the most exciting and celebrated authors working in speculative fiction today. For the first time ever, Jemisin is working in the comic book medium, collaborating with artist Jamal Campbell on a new Green Lantern story that’s part of Gerard Way’s revived
It sounds like the cult classic Okami franchise isn’t quite done yet, as Okami director Hideki Kamiya and artist Ikumi Nakamura are teasing what sounds like a potential upcoming sequel. This one is a bit odd, but recently, Nakamura posted a video on her Twitter account which shows her standing with Kamiya in what appears to be the
HBO Max, the upcoming streaming service from the premium cable giant, is bolstering its lineup of original content at a rapid pace; a notion exemplified by its most recent order for an irreverently-themed horror series in The Shelley Society. The Shelley Society will manifest as a Victorian take on The X-Files formula, following the quasi-historic
Steve Orlando must be incredible to work with, because he lands artistic talent like he’s already a comics legend. This isn’t meant to be a backhanded complement to Orlando. His writing is superb, and it has been since almost the moment he burst onto the scene – Virgil was one of the best comics when
It’s hard to be the less successful brother, and that’s pretty much what Capcom’s Darkstalkers series is. The series will always live in the shadow of the Street Fighter franchise…which is pretty appropriate because, you know, it’s all about darkness and shadows and stuff. Despite never getting a next-gen remake or real update, it’s still pretty impressive for
The Leftovers wrapped its final season to wild critical acclaim, so Damon Lindelof is sticking around HBO to bring us a Watchmen TV series. Watchmen is finally getting the prestige cable drama that fans have wanted for as long as prestige cable drama has been a thing. This has been in the works for quite some
This Mr. Robot review contains spoilers. Mr. Robot Season 4 Episode 3 With the clock ticking down on its final season, it might feel like a weird time to include a fifteen-minute cold open set in 1982 that serves as an origin story of sorts for the series’ designated Big Bad, but, hey – this
Dracula. The very name conjures images of sexuality, corruption, and decadence. From the original novel written by Bram Stoker in 1897 to the moment Bela Lugosi donned the famed opera cloak in 1931, the character of Dracula has been an iconic horror staple. In fact, Dracula has been the subject of over 200 films, second
