Image Comics books provide something that Marvel and DC can’t. They give writers and artists the ability to create something with their voices without a lot of restrictions. Sure, sometimes, it’s a story with licensed characters like Transformers and G.I. Joe that connect to something bigger. In their case, it's the Energon Universe. When that happens, the heroes and villains must stay close to the personalities they're known for. However, the new stories are deeper and more adult than comic book fans are used to seeing.

The other kind of Image comics come in the form of original stories. The Deviant by James Tynion IV and Saga by Fiano Staples and Brian K. Vaughan are prime examples. This week, a new miniseries called I Was A Fashion School Serial Killer was published. It was the best new comic book of the week, and it has the potential to...

Exclusive: Sony Pictures Entertainment has fallen hard for Love Everlasting. The film adaptation of the comic book series written by Tom King has Room helmer Lenny Abrahamson attached to direct and Jane Goldman writing the script. Emma Watts and Element’s Ed Guiney are producing.

It is described as a mix of Groundhog Day and Quantum Leap with sci-fi and horror elements.

The protagonist is Joan Peterson, a heroine who begins in the mold of how women often are portrayed in romance comics: with the major goal to fall in love. Only here, each time she reaches that plateau, Joan finds herself abruptly shifted into a new time period and setting with new obstacles...

We first learned that a live-action Mobile Suit Gundam movie was in development way back in 2018 during the Anime Expo, and in 2021, we finally got an update when it was announced that Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kong: Skull Island) would direct the project for Netflix.

Vogt-Roberts would later ways with the movie, and Sweet Tooth showrunner Jim Mickle was brought on to replace him. It's been pretty quiet on the Gundam front since, but we now have confirmation (Jeff Sneider first reported the news) that Sydney Sweeney is in final talks to play the lead role.

Plot and character details are currently under wraps.

Sweeney’s recent film work includes Madame Web, Immaculate and Ron Howard’s Eden. The highly in-demand actress also has a slew of other projects on the way, including AppleTV+ film Echo Valley alongside Julianne Moore, the Freida McFadden adaptation The Housemaid with Amanda Seyfried, Colman Domingo’s...

It’s been over a week since John Cena shocked the world and gave Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson his soul. This was supposed to be a farewell tour for one of (if not the) best professional wrestlers ever. More than that, he was someone that kids looked up to. Now, those kids have kids and they’re seeing their hero go Anakin Skywalker and embrace the dark side of the Force.

Changing from a baby face (hero) to a heel (villain) happens often in wrestling, but it's shocking in comics. It usually means the balance of power in the universe shifted. For example, one of the most famous was Superman becoming a tyrant during Injustice. Comic book fans have seen alternate realities where The Man of Steel has switched sides, but this happened on a bigger scale. Even if you don’t read comics you know about it because it...

As Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man debuts, fans are seeing an array of Marvel heroes and villains appear. The trailers promised epic cameos and guests, and the show is delivering. Colman Domingo's Norman Osborn is already offering Peter Parker work at Oscorp.

Throw in Amadeus Cho as a rival at Peter's internship, viewers can't wait to see more faces pop up in this Disney+ cartoon. Not everyone will have a minor role, however. One constant in Peter's life is going to be Nico Minoru, and the series is setting her up to be a bedrock to his evolution.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Manis now airing on Disney+ with a two-episode premiere that introduces audiences to a new timeline in the Marvel Multiverse and a new Spider-Man, played by Hudson Thames. The animated series follows high schooler Peter Parker, whose life is turned upside down after a radioactive spider bites him, giving him amazing superpowers. He becomes the superhero Spider-Man, using his newfound abilities to protect the people of New York City from dangerous supervillains like the Chameleon, Silvermane, Screwball, and more.

Who is Peter Parker's best friend? Harry Osborn? Ned Leeds? Johnny Storm? According to the new animated series "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man," it's — Nico Minoru? If you're a casual Marvel fan, you might be thinking: who? Now, Nico is an established Marvel character, but not one who is usually connected to Spider-Man. So why use her? And what can her role in the series so far answer about that?

"Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" is not set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, or at least not the so-called "Sacred Timeline." As executive producer Brad Winderbaum has explained, putting the show in the MCU continuity would've been too restrictive.

2024 saw DC Comics yet again trot out "Watchmen," this time as a two-part animated film. First debuting in 1986, "Watchmen" is the beloved superhero murder mystery comic created by writer Alan Moore (who infamously has no interest in any "Watchmen" adaptations) and artist Dave Gibbons. It's also the one superhero comic that it's broadly acceptable for literary critics to enjoy -- so much so it spawned a new term for the comic medium: "graphic novel."

The term goes back a bit further, such as the Marvel Graphic Novel line (begun in 1982). These longer (and more expensive) than usual comic issues told a standalone story. They also tended to be darker than contemporary Marvel comics. Take the "X2" inspiration "X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills" (by Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson) where the X-Men battled a televangelist and religious bigotry, and "The Death of Captain Marvel" (by Jim Starlin), where the cosmic hero succumbed to cancer.

ABC's Lost took inspiration from many things -- from movies to philosophy, and, of course, from iconic works of literature. Over its six-season run, Lost used several famous novels to help further its plot or add context to moments that many would have deemed confusing had they been unfamiliar with the callback. Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, Of Mice and Men, and Lord of the Flies are just a few notable examples that Lost included to help flesh out the sprawling narrative unfolding in front of viewers' eyes.

One of the major themes in Lost is "time," with the events of the show spanning centuries and, oftentimes, out of order. Lost even went so far as to completely ditch their initial character drama...

Warning: Contains spoilers for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1!

Before the Disney+ debut of Marvel's new Spider-Man series, an official comic book prequel surprisingly ties this version of his origin to another young Marvel hero. Though a few iconic characters have been teased to appear in the series, one of Marvel’s Runaways, Nico Minoru, is now integral to the new Peter Parker’s beginnings as a superhero.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man #1 – written by Christos Gage, with art by Eric Gapstur – kicks off the animated series' prequel by showing Peter Parker’s fateful radioactive spider bite with an interesting twist, as it is revealed that this version of Peter’s superhero origin happens at the very moment that he’s meeting Nico Minoru.

The two form a closer friendship as the issue unfolds, and it’s clear that Nico will be an important part of this take on Spider-Man’s lore.

The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim has debuted to $4.6 million at the box office, according to a recent report by Variety. However, it was revealed that the film’s performance in the box office was not Warner Bros.’ primary focus.

The anime film, which was produced on a $30 million budget, was developed and rushed into production primarily to safeguard New Line Cinema’s rights to adapt J. R. R. Tolkien’s works.

The studio has held these rights through a licensing agreement with Zaentz Co. since the late 1990s. Though the specific terms of the contract are not public, it is believed that Warner Bros. is required to maintain active development and production of Tolkien-related projects to retain the rights.

In early 2022, Zaentz Co., which controls a portfolio of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit rights, reportedly began exploring a sale of its Tolkien holdings.

A new version of Forbidden Planet, Fred M. Wilcox’s 1956 sci-fi film, is in the works at Warner Bros, Deadline has revealed.

The film is set to be written by Brian K. Vaughan, a TV and comic-book writer who has penned several episodes of Lost as well as comic-books such as Y: The Last Man, Ex_Machina and Marvel’s Runaways.

Science fiction is one of the most beloved and intriguing genres in film, literature, and television alike. The nature of sci-fi content often limits its portrayal in a visual medium. They typically include technology, scenarios, or futuristic concepts that would be impossible to display in a form other than the written word. Books have the unique ability to utilize the imagination of the reader and present stories that simply wouldn't work if presented on screen. With that being said, certain shows effectively turn their written source material into a thoughtful representation of the original story.

The most recent example of famous sci-fi literature-turned-television is Netflix's 3 Body Problem, which explores mind-blowing ideas across space and time. Given the show's popularity, Netflix is set to release a second season of the 3 Body Problem. Perhaps the most critically acclaimed sci-fi series of this nature is The Expanse, a thoughtful tale...

Forbidden Planet is now getting a reboot decades after its release. Forbidden Planet was a originally a 1956 space adventure film about a group of people in 23rd century who go to investigate a colony of people living on a distant planet. Loosely inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest, Forbidden Planet's script was written by Cyril Hume. The film was directed by Fred M. Wilcox and featured a leading cast including Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen, Jack Kelly, Richard Anderson, and Warren Stevens.

As per Deadline, a reboot of Forbidden Planet is now in the works. The film is being developed by Warner Bros. and it will be produced by Emma Watts. The screenwriter for the project will be Brian K. Vaughan. The cast and character details for the Forbidden Planet are yet to be revealed. Additionally, the extent to which the reboot will follow the original's plot is unknown.

Back in 1956, director Fred M. Wilcox and writers Cyril Hume, Irving Block, and Allen Adler brought the world one of the most popular science fiction films ever made, Forbidden Planet, which earned an Oscar nomination for its special effects and, in 2013, was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, as the film is regarded as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” Of course, there have been rumblings of a remake for a long time. Fifteen years ago, there was even some talk about James Cameron directing the remake, and Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski was working on the screenplay. That take on the concept never made it into production, but now Deadline reports that Hugo and Eisner Award-winning comic book writer and screenwriter Brian K.

For decades, Hugh Jackman has brilliantly brought the iconic Marvel Comics character Wolverine to live action, originally in the 20th Century Fox X-Men films and now in the MCU.

Marvel editor Tom Brevoort has called out the fatal flaw in a beloved superhero franchise, going so far as to call it an inherent problem. The Runaways, launched in the early 2000s, quickly became a cult title, and before long, it was a breakout hit. Yet even despite a television show, the property has struggled to find its footing in recent years, and Brevoort has a theory as to why.

Brian K. Vaughan's other credits include Y The Last Man, Ex Machina and Saga; Adrian Alphona would co-create arguably Marvel's greatest teen hero: Kamala Khan.

Tom Brevoort, in his weekly Substack newsletter Man With a Hat, fielded questions from fans on a variety of topics. Brevoort had previously answered a question about Young Avengers. Fan Andrew Albrecht asked a follow-up question. Albrecht was curious if Brevoort had ever worked on Runaways, and if he was a fan of the concept.

When Deadpool & Wolverine brought back Tyler Manes Sabretooth, it finally gave fans a rematch that was decades in the making.

Well, actually thats not true, as Tyler Manes Sabretooth did return in a previous storyline, and Deadpool & Wolverine did him dirty by ignoring it.

Location is important to The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.

The first season of The Walking Dead spinoff starring the titular Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) moved the zombie action from a post-apocalyptic United States to an equally post-apocalyptic France. The second season, which premieres Sept. 29 on AMC, will bring beloved franchise figure Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) over to L’hexagone to see how the French are faring. Now the show is set to expand its European ambitions even further. And that might have some fascinating implications for the franchise’s most iconic character: Rick Grimes.

During The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon panel at 2024 San Diego Comic Con, AMC announced that the show had been renewed for a third season that will take place in Spain. Production will begin next month and be based in Madrid, with location shooting planned in the Galicia, Aragon, Catalonia and Valencia regions.

TV shows have inspired some iconic comics, offering fans more of their favorite stories or even new beginnings. The best comics adapted from TV shows attract passionate writers, creating engaging one-shot or story arc formats. Crossovers and miniseries enhance TV franchises in comics, bringing out what made them great onscreen.

The comic book industry has long turned to TV and film for inspiration, with iconic properties like Star Trek, Power Rangers and Space Ghost making their way into print. When it comes to shows, the industry has historically offered a way for audiences' favorite stories to continue on, sometimes giving them a conclusion they were robbed of by network cancelation. These titles can often become bestsellers when adapted to comics, thanks to a built-in audience.

Comics based on TV shows are among the best tales in print, since they have a habit of attracting some of the most passionate writers in the business.

Clayface defeats Wonder Woman by turning her back into clay. Clayface gains a power boost, and he even flies and creates lightning. Wonder Woman enlists Donna Troy's help to defeat Clayface, using a centrifuge to separate him from her clay.

There's no denying that when it comes to Batman's villains, none of them should be able to do anything to Wonder Woman. Diana has complete immunity to poison, so Scarecrow and the Joker wouldn't be able to do much, and her physical strength is far above Bane or Killer Croc's. But one Gotham villain can easily take her down: Clayface.

Wonder Woman #160 by Brian K. Vaughan and Scott Kolins features the surprising match-up of Clayface vs. Wonder Woman, and in an even more surprising twist, Wonder Woman completely loses. Clayface captures Diana and breaks Wonder Woman's body down into the original clay she was made from.

Clayface then gains an incredible power boost.

Despite the persistent buzz and occasional false starts, concrete plans for a Silver Surfer standalone film have yet to materialize. Fans have been eagerly awaiting any sign of progress, hoping to see the iconic cosmic hero take center stage on the big screen.

Now that Julia Garner has been selected for the role, speculation has intensified about how this casting choice will impact this so-called fictional project and its development.

In 2005, Runaways writer Brian K. Vaughan broke ground by introducing the Skrull Xavin, Marvel Comics’ first genderfluid character. Lady Loki would follow in 2008 and Mystique would be revealed to have fathered a child in 2023’s X-Men Blue: Origins #1, but Xavin was the first time the publisher portrayed a shapeshifter swapping genders as more than just convenience and part of their deeper identity.

Xavin is introduced as male, a prince betrothed to Runaways’ alien hero Karolina Dean in an arranged marriage meant to bring peace between the Skrulls and the Majesdanians. When Karolina offers to give the relationship a go in order to save lives but reveals that she is a lesbian, Xavin responds that for a Skrull “changing gender is no different than changing hair color” and assumes a female form.

Under the Dome ended after season 3, possibly due to declining ratings and increasingly negative reviews. The show pioneered a new type of summer TV programming and paved the way for other original summer series. Despite leaving the possibility open for another season, the show ended with a satisfying conclusion according to showrunner Neal Baer.

Under the Dome season 4 is not in the works, but the reason for the show ending is unclear. Premiering in January 2013 on CBS, Under the Dome is the only adaptation of Stephen King's 2009 book. The story depicts the small town of Chester's Mill that, one day, suddenly has a giant, impenetrable, invisible dome fall around it, separating the inhabitants from the outside world. While the United States government attempts to break its way in, the citizens of the town begin to compete for dwindling resources as tensions rise and panic takes hold.

Rob Lieber, the writer of the latest Karate Kid movie that is currently in production, has signed with UTA for representation in all areas.

The writer was previously at Verve. That agency, however, underwent an internal battle amongst partners that went public, leading to the ouster of one of the founding partners. Several literary clients were caught in the brouhaha’s wake, with UTA picking several of them up in the last month or so. The agency previously signed comics author and screenwriter Brian K. Vaughan and Masters of the Air co-creator Jon Orloff.

Lieber made a name for himself in the studio family space, with producer credits in Sony’s hit live-action/CG hybrid Peter Rabbit as well as Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween, both released in 2018, and Disney’s Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, which starred Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner.

John Orloff, the co-creator of Apple TV+ miniseries Masters of the Air, has signed with UTA for representation in all areas.

The move comes after Orloff signed with Verve for representation in January, the same month his high profile and high priced war drama launched. However, in February, the agency became embroiled in an internal battle amongst partners, resulting in the ousting of founding partner Bill Weinstein. Several lit clients were caught up in the churn. Brian K. Vaughan, the comics author and screenwriter, also switched agencies and signed with UTA in March.

Orloff adapted the acclaimed memoir by Mariane Pearl, A Mighty Heart, into a 2007 drama that starred Angelina Jolie and counted Brad Pitt as among its producers. He earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for best first screenplay for his script.

Orloff also co-wrote the screenplay for Zack Snyder’s animated 2010 feature Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole,...
