Oni Press is currently in the middle of its release of its final Rick and Morty licensed comic book series, Rick and Morty: The End (we gave the second issue a great review at CBR ). Rick Sanchez is on the run from the collective of universes following the events of the Rick and Morty Versus the Universe , and Morty was tasked with hunting down his own grandfather or else all Mortys would be erased from the multiverse. In the first issue, Morty tracked down some characters t

The only word that can be used to describe the emotion emanating from fans of Miles Morales and the Spider-Verse is impatience. That's because the wait for the third (and allegedly final) Marvel cinematic installment of Morales' universe, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse , has grown on multiple occasions due to production delays, but there's at least something else in the works to tide over ravenous Morales fans. Diehard Marvel fans have likely been following the events o

During the beginning of the Marvel Age of Comics, there would be new superheroes popping up every other month, but in recent years, the introduction of a new superhero has become a rarer occasion, and when it happens, like in last year's Giant-Size Amazing Spider-Man #1 with the introduction of Chip Zdarsky's and CAFU's Rapid, it is a big deal. While Zdarsky introduced the character, Saladin Ahmed has been the regular wirter for Rapid since then, showing up in some notable

IDW Publishing's new The Twilight Zone has been a major success both critically (at CBR, we have raved about each of the three issues so far ), and commercially, as IDW has announced that the series, which was originally tentatively planned as a five-issue limited series, will now continue at least another batch of five issues (with star creators like Nicole Goux, Tony Fleecs & Andy Price, Gabriel Hardman, Juni Ba, Charles & Rosemary Soule, and more).

One of Marvel Comics ' biggest events is gearing up for a major return. Per Marvel Comics' official press release, Civil War has been given a spin-off series that will explore one of the universe's most divisive showdowns. "In 2006, there was one question every comic fan asked themselves— WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON? " Marvel questions when tee'ing up the introduction of Civil War: Unmasked . "Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s CIVIL WAR, along with its gripping tie-in stories, tore

Comic book fans seem to be enjoying what DC Studios has been putting out under the leadership of James Gunn so far. However, one cannot help but notice that the marketing for its next major superhero flick, Supergirl , appears to pay homage to one of the filmmaker's previous hits. On Dec. 10, 2025, the official Twitter (or X) account of Supergirl shared a link to a YouTube page counting down the online premiere of the DC movie's first trailer , which will be available to wat

Another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live-action movie from Paramount is on the way, with a bit of a twist this time. Per Deadline , "The project was already announced with Neal H. Moritz producing. Under Paramount, the three Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies (two live-action, one animated) have grossed close to $913 million worldwide. The brand alone cleared $1 billion in retail for Paramount in calendar year 2023, as Deadline first told you." There's little known about t

One of the easiest ways to get an argument going amongst DC fans is to bring up the Black Adam movie. You'll instantly see two things happen simultaneously amongst the crowd: faces light up with memories of a film they think was unfairly bashed by critics and fans, or faces turn to scowls ready to reinvigorate their disdain for it; but there's at least one thing nearly everyone can agree on, and that's the fact Pierce Brosnan was superb in debuting Dr. Fate to the masses bef

Excitement continues to build for Avengers: Doomsday with fans scrambling to learn anything they can about the highly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe entry. Channing Tatum, who reprises his role as Gambit in the film, recently dropped some hints about the project and gushed over his character. "Look, everyone in the world is going to see this movie," Tatum said in an interview with Deadline . "And it's hard to say this because, I mean, you hear these things and go, 'O

New York Comic Con is a monumental event in pop culture, occurring every year in the fall to mirror San Diego Comic Con, which takes place every year in the summer. With hundreds of thousands of attendees walking its halls, the convention is on the bucket list of anyone invested in manga, films, shows, merchandise, and, of course, comics. Time can be spent flitting through the show floor, getting memorabilia signed, admiring the cosplays of others, showing off your own costu

It has been nearly three years since the DC Universe's upcoming Batman solo movie, The Brave and the Bold , was personally announced by James Gunn in Jan. 2023, and the project still remains in development. As the case usually tends to be at a time like this, comic book fans are becoming curious about the fate of the highly anticipated superhero movie, especially after its latest update. Charlie Schneider from the YouTube channel Emergency Awesome posted a video featuring c

Marvel is ready to take Tony Stark's legacy into its next chapter. The publisher will officially be releasing a new Iron Man series in early 2026. Announced at the Marvel's Next Big Thing Panel at this year's New York Comic Con , Marvel revealed that Joshua Williamson and Carmen Carnero will take the lead for Iron Man #1, releasing on Jan. 28. Described as a new era for Tony Stark, it will kick off when Iron Man's plan to shape his legacy is twisted into a more sinister opp

There is a classic webcomic that shows a comic book writer and artist doing a panel at a convention. The writer talks about how comic books are much cooler than movies because while it would be super expensive to draw a giant alien armada in a movie, you can just write it into your script in a comic, and it can all be done. The artist then attacks him, mocking the idea that all of that extra detail is "easy" for the writer, but it isn't for the artist. It's a very funny bit,
