This article contains spoilers for The Sound of Magic. Adapted from a webtoon called Annarasumanara, Netflix’s latest Korean-language release, The Sound of Magic, is a quick watch at only six episodes—much shorter than most K-drama fare. For that runtime, the drama bites off a bit more than it can chew in terms of storyline, which

There’s no immediately obvious answer when you ask someone what the first Neal Adams work is that jumps to mind. Is it “The Joker’s Five Way Revenge?” Green Lantern/Green Arrow: Hard Traveling Heroes? The batshit, hairy-chested insanity of Batman: Odyssey? Late Silver Age X-Men? We could spend a thousand words listing the comics he drew

Stacy Banks is coming to Riverdale, bringing her STEM knowledge with her. Over its eight decades, Archie Comics has brought a variety of new characters to Riverdale with varying results.

Matt Reeves’ The Batman takes us all back to the very early days of The Caped Crusader. He’s not quite the figure he will go on to be, and neither are his rogues. While Reeves didn’t want to do another “origin” movie, given the towering cultural behemoth that is the Christopher Nolan trilogy, with Batman

Netflix’s Heartstopper is a faithful adaptation of Alice Oseman’s web comics, doubtless thanks to the fact that Oseman herself adapted the series for screen. Fans of the comics – about a burgeoning gay romance between two British secondary school boys – needn’t worry about their favourite moments having been missed on TV. The important scenes

This article contains Moon Knight spoilers. There is a LOT going on in Moon Knight episode 4. The final few minutes include our title character seemingly dying, only to shift gears into a dreamlike reality that paints the events of the show as the delusions of a sick man. Then it gets even weirder and

Despite featuring no superheroes, superpowers or elaborate plans to destroy Gotham City, Heartstopper has to be one of the most anticipated comic book adaptations of the year. Alice Oseman’s webcomic (also published in four, eventually-to-be-five, book volumes) about two British high school boys who fall in love has an extremely devoted fanbase who only have

Marvel sure took their sweet time, but we finally have a Thor: Love and Thunder teaser trailer. It was absolutely worth the wait. Taika Waititi’s long awaited sequel to Thor: Ragnarok (the movie which landed at #1 on our comprehensive ranking of the MCU movies) is a brightly-colored blast of good vibes, Marvel Comics Easter

Warner Bros. is making a Wonder Twins movie for HBO Max. Yes, you read that right, the Wonder Twins. As in, the two purple-clad alien teenagers who can shapeshift when they touch hands and shout “Wonder Twin powers, activate!” Of course, their shapeshifting is somewhat limited as Jayna can only transform into animals and Zan

Batman ‘89 is a comic that hits a certain section of bat-fandom so squarely where they live it’s almost impossible to believe it even exists. The series, part of a line of DC Comics that serve as sequels to beloved live action superhero movie and TV shows, is a direct sequel to Tim Burton’s two

This article contains Moon Knight spoilers When the first episode of Moon Knight hit, comic fans familiar with the character were a bit at a disadvantage. They already had an idea of what was going on, killing some of the drama that those uninitiated were experiencing. While the second episode explains the basics between Steven,

This article contains Moon Knight episode 2 spoilers. Moon Knight Episode 2 So far, Marvel’s Moon Knight hasn’t exactly been as heavy on the Marvel Comics and MCU references as some of the other Disney+ shows have been. The first episode was a pretty standalone affair, and one which made it clear that it was

Anti-establishment humor wasn’t mainstream in the 1950s, and grown-ups saw comic books as brain-rotting garbage. But in 1952, a comic came along which would come to proudly declare: “In Trash We Trust.” Born in the era of McCarthyism, kids who read MAD learned to distrust authority and give snappy answers to stupid questions. The “Usual

It’s hard to explain Marvel’s Moon Knight on the best of days. The former mercenary-turned-vigilante can mostly be found after dark on the streets of New York City, protecting those who travel by night as the earthly avatar of the Egyptian moon god Khonshu. But the man behind the mask, Marc Spector, also has Dissociative

This article is presented by: “Criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot, so my disguise must be able to strike terror into their hearts.

The man called Nova is finally headed to the MCU. Deadline has announced that Moon Knight writer Sabir Pirzada will be shepherding the character into the MCU. At this point, we don’t know if Nova will be a series or a movie, but excitement is already building. Moviegoers have already received a glimpse of Nova in Guardians of the Galaxy,

David Dastmalchian is the face of interesting characters. Although it has been nearly 14 years since he debuted as one of Joker’s gang members in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, the performance remains chilling. Since then, he has continued making a mark as a Wombat in Ant-Man, a Mentat in Dune, and a Polka-Dot Man

When Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke joined the cast of the upcoming MCU Disney+ series Secret Invasion, fans immediately asked, “Who is she playing?” And when the rumor mill suggested that she would play Veranke, many fans had a follow-up question: “Who is Veranke?” Over the years, the MCU has not been afraid to dig deep into

This article contains spoilers for DMZ episode 1. There’s never really an ideal time to premiere a TV show about war.  Invariably, someone somewhere on the globe is experiencing the brutal destruction of armed combat at any given moment, making a fictionalized depiction of it a dicey proposition for any storyteller. This is a lesson

This article contains some spoilers for HAWKEYE and SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME So where does the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen go next? At this point, there’s no clear word about the new show being a continuation of the Netflix series or a hard reboot. Likely, Marvel will split the difference. If so, the new Daredevil series

This article contains spoilers of The Batman and the DCEU. It’s been nearly a decade since the release of a solo Batman movie, 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises, and as we approach the 10-year anniversary of the much-debated conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed Dark Knight trilogy, a new standalone film about the Caped Crusader, Matt

One of the big questions we’re always asked whenever there’s a new superhero movie is what comics should someone who only knows a character from TV or movies check out. Sometimes this question is easier to answer than other times, but with The Batman, it’s an incredibly easy answer. Batman: The Imposter, which is now

This article contains major spoilers for Marvel’s new Punisher series. Jason Aaron has written just about every corner of the Marvel Universe.

This article contains spoilers for The Batman. If you’ve seen The Batman by now, it’s plain to see that director/co-writer Matt Reeves’ vision for the Dark Knight is perhaps the darkest we’ve seen onscreen to date, drenched in the brooding atmosphere and morally ambiguous tones of noir while constructed on the spine of a classic

It’s commonly accepted that the greatest villain in Fantastic Four history is Doctor Doom, but what’s typically less understood is that the second greatest villain in the F4 pantheon is Reed Richards himself. Or at least parallel versions of him. And what’s absolutely fascinating about the world we live in now is that Marvel seems

A new era begins for Batman and DC Comics in July.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for the comic Power Rangers Universe #3. For a franchise that began in 1993 on Fox Kids and has been running for nearly 30 years, in the beginning no one really thought Power Rangers would be a hit.
