Per ScreenRant , IDW Publishing recently unveiled a new variant cover for the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Starship #8 by Hernan Gonzalez and Lee Loughridge, which features a decidedly different version of Captain Kirk than fans are used to seeing.

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

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

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,
