There was an air of mystery and also hesitation around the new prequel series House of the Dragon. The final season of Game of Thrones almost universally gave fans a bad taste in their mouths. And one could only be left to wonder if this new show would be able to overcome that unfortunate misstep
Frankenstein: New World #1 finally gives us a look at what the Earth looks like after it ended. It's as beautiful as it is terrifying. Fortunately, our heroes are Frankenstein and a smart-aleck kid. Neither of them appears to be particularly fazed by the wondrous horrors around them. Yet.
There is another world that waits for all of us when we close our eyes and sleep — a place called the Dreaming, where The Sandman, Master of Dreams, gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies. Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed Sandman comics first took readers by storm in the late
Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Time is a River is a somewhat weird and confusing boat ride of a story. The shortness of this ride somehow makes it both better and worse, but it's a decent ride regardless. Especially if you're into Hungarian folklore. Would you believe that the creepy horse lady on the
When aliens attack Earth and threaten to wipe out humanity, Flavor Girls #1 shows us that only magical girls can stop the UFOs. With fruit and vegetable-flavored magic, no less. With their fruity/vegetable-y powers combined! Main cover artist: Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky. Flavor Girls #1 is the first

The Deer King is an anime film that gives us a look at what would happen if you crossed Princess Mononoke, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, and Lone Wolf and Cub. The last of which was one of the main inspirations for The Mandalorian, by the way. I would think The Wolf King is a more
We've had haunted house movies. Sure, but have we had a haunted van movie? That's what Passenger amounts to at its most distilled form. This is a horror movie about a demonic force (the opposite of Saint Christopher) that has been chasing and killing travelers for hundreds of years. Basically, the
Though marital arts action cinema is vast and varied, it is rare for one to elevate the genre and push it forward. There have been few recently - The Raid comes to mind, and while not technically "martial arts" I'd argue John Wick counts - that feel as if something new and special is happening.
Daemons of the Shadow Realm jumps right into some bloody action with a new second cours in Ep. 13 "Daikyo and Shokyo". And just two weeks after the conclusion of the first cours to boot. We certainly didn't have long to wait before we see the bloody conclusion to the action-packed ending of Ep. 12.
