The Psycho Rangers were first introduced to Power Rangers with these lines. “We’re the Psycho Rangers.”“We’re faster than you.”“Smarter than you.”“Stronger than you.”“But we’re evil!” And that was… pretty much it. The Psycho Rangers have stuck in the minds of Power Rangers fans for so long because of the threat they posed to the In Space team… but that’s it. The

They’re faster than you, smarter than you, and they’re evil. Yes, that’s right, the Psycho Rangers from Power Rangers in Space have returned with a vengeance. Last seen in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, the main team of five Psychos have been joined by Psycho Green from Boom’s earlier Power Rangers comics. All of them, along
When writer Tom King closes out his Batman run in December with issue #85, it’ll be Detective Comics veteran James Tynion IV who will take his place. That’s exciting news, considering Tynion has already proved his love for the Bat through runs on not only Detective but Batman Eternal and Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Unsurprisingly,
Dan DiDio and Shane Davis separately have a history of mining the classic DC Universe, maintaining what makes them classic characters while tweaking them for modern consumption – Davis on Superman: Earth One and DiDio on, among other things, the best book of the New 52 relaunch, OMAC. But these updates are rarely radical departures.
There’s never a bad season of the year for reading. Whether it’s winter, summer, spring, or fall, there’s a reading habit that goes oh-so-well with the season. But there’s something about fall—when the leaves are changing (at least in some parts of the world) and the nights are getting longer—that makes me want to curl up
It all began with two shots in the dark, pearls spilling onto the blood-soaked cement. No, it all started when the bat crashed through the window. Actually, it was when the boy fell into the cave. Maybe it was that hostile takeover at Apex Chemicals? Dozens of stories have shaped the legend of the Batman
DC Comics has revealed who will be taking over as writer of its flagship Batman book after Tom King closes out his run at the end of this year. It’s none of other than James Tynion IV, a Detective Comics veteran who has also been writing Batman backup stories, fill-in issues, and annuals since 2012.
With Paper Girls having recently ended its run, the best time travel comic on the market right now is…Jughead’s Time Police? Crazy though it may seem, the current Archie Comics mini-series is the perfect blend of science fiction and comedy that aims to do for hamburgers what Back to the Future did for manure. Or
Heroes In Crisis was an incredible book. It told an extremely important story, delivering a critical message to an audience probably not used to hearing it. It also kind of breaks the superhero formula. The biggest split between DC and Marvel characters has always been what the characters are best at doing. Marvel has the
Some of the best fantasy, science fiction, and horror storytelling is happening in the young adult book world—if you need some specific examples, check out Den of Geek’s picks for the best fiction books of 2018. There’s so much to look forward to in our speculative fiction future. Here are some of the young adult
Dragons in fantasy can be many things. Predatory shapes in the sky. Warships. Animal companions. People: rulers, refugees, friends. With so many books and so many types of dragons to choose from, it can nevertheless be difficult to find a book about unique dragons. For this list I’ve pointedly ignored Game of Thrones, because Daenerys’
Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the duo behind Gossip Girl and Marvel’s Runaways, are adapting another story for Hulu’s streaming platform: John Green’s Looking For Alaska. The adaptation will be an eight-episode limited series. The series will star Charlie Plummer as Miles “Pudge” Halter, a teen who has just enrolled at Culver Creek Prep, hoping
With House of X and Powers of X steaming towards their close (or vamping towards the close, if you’re Mister Sinister), Marvel is starting to ramp up its promotion of the post-relaunch event X-Men line of comics. They’ve relased a teaser trailer for the “Dawn of X” lineup of books– X-Men, Marauders, Excalibur, NewMutants, X-Force,
The lead-up to The Rise of Skywalker began at the D23 conference in August, and our Star Wars podcast hosts have the news. The Mandalorian is premiering with Disney+, and we have mixed feelings about the tone. What does it mean for a Star Wars show to do “dark” storytelling correctly? Very importantly, the trailer
In what is suitably being referred to as “Crisis on Infinite Riverdales,” Archie Comics currently has major multiverse issues flowing through many of their books. From Jughead’s Time Police to Jughead the Hunger Meets Vampironica and beyond, the Archieverse is colliding in weird and unexpected ways right now as the publisher barrels towards its 80th
DC’s Black Label is dropping a pretty big book in December: the latest in the series spawned from The Dark Knight Returns. This one is called The Golden Child, and the most shocking thing about it is probably its artist. Rafael Grampa, the Eisner-winning Brazilian creator of 5 and Mesmo Delivery, takes the penciling duties
The name Stephen King conjures up images of horrific creatures, monsters, places, and some of the most enduring villains in fiction. These are beings of unimaginable evil that test the limits of the protagonists’ will to survive, and some of these villains have gone on to become almost as famous (or infamous) as the writer
Marvel Comics has signed a deal to bring more of Conan the Barbarian creator Robert E. Howard’s works to Marvel.

When DC’s Black Label imprint was first announced, fans were promised that they would journey to the darkest edges of the DC Universe with some of the most brilliant creators as their guides. Batman: Damned, by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo, kept that promise, delivering one of the most terrifying, challenging, and controversial DC projects
House of X and Powers of X have done the unthinkable: they’ve made having an encyclopedic knowledge of Marvel X-Men continuity minutiae an asset. Now I have a reason to talk about Xorn’s brother Xorn who was posing as Magneto pretending to be Xorn OTHER than to make someone go away. This is, of course,
Stephen King is a master of the short story, able to dish out horror tales to make your skin crawl, astounding sci-fi, and even literary reflections aimed at more “sophisticated” readers. He’s done it all, with no sign of stopping. Although I’ve had the tough task of picking 16 of my favorite King horror tales
