Viruses are probably the most peculiar “life forms” known to us, with each species having unique characteristics. One thing common to all viruses is that they attack a “host” cell and hijack its machinery, using it for its own replication.

Brandon Routh has been a staple of the Arrowverse since 2015, when he was introduced as Ray Palmer during Arrow’s third season. It wasn’t long before Ray suited up as the Atom, and soon became a central figure in the wildest Arrow spinoff of them all, Legends of Tomorrow. Five years later, Routh’s portrayal has
The Hunger Games is readying a return to the pop culture panorama in the form of a prequel novel, which will see author Suzanne Collins revisit the dystopian society of Panem, except at a time well before Katniss Everdeen even existed, much less ignited the titular contest as “The Girl on Fire.” Indeed, Collins’s franchise

There’s something weirdly soothing about the particular way Simon Spurrier and Aaron Campbell show what a scumbag John Constantine is. Not that he hasn’t been a sleazeball in the past – it’s part of his core appeal. He’s a jackass con man who will sell out the people he loves at the drop of a

It’s the paperwork and
The first twelve issues of The Green Lantern were, in a word, bananapants.

Google Stadia launched last year without making that big of a splash (and without including quite a few of its promised features), but it sounds like Google is far from ready to give up on its game-streaming platform. In fact, 2020 is shaping up to be a huge year for the service, with Google planning

The sprawling universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, a comic fantasy series of novels that has long since reached classic status, is getting a television adaptation treatment courtesy of BBC America in the form of a new original scripted series, The Watch, but the show will necessarily narrow its focus to the misfit cops that inhabit
