Season 1 of Netflix and Marvel's The Punisher was a step back in the right direction for both companies. They managed to finish the story they started in Daredevil, introduce a great new character in Micro, and show a whole different side to The Punisher than we've ever seen before. However, I hope in Season 2 we get a lot more Punisher and a lot less Frank Castle and more action sequences that can match the high mark left from Season 2 of Daredevil.
Spike Lee's version, called 'Prince of Cats', will be based on a graphic novel and set back in the 1980s during hip-hop's rise - including essentials such as DJing, emceeing, breakdancing, and graffiti.
Riverdale is everything that shouldn't work together...working together in a way that is so wrong, yet oh so right. In a world where cable TV often seems like a wasteland littered with reboots and spin offs (and on occasion a totally original show), Riverdale is a uniquely original and totally welcome addition.

Published by Z2 Comics, the 160-page edition will depict the early days of the group when Louis “B-Real” Freese and Senen “Sen Dog” Reyes “were just a couple teenage cholos from around the way.”
"Ready Player One" may be the latest most egregious manifestation of nerd-pandering to date, but entertainment directed at nerds and geeks, clearly, isn't going anywhere, nor should it. A lot of it, after all, is quite great. I just ask filmmakers, and the studios supporting them, to be more respectful of their audience, and the audience, in turn, to dial back the toxicity.
Fantagraphics is remastering and republishing all of the EC Comics adaptations of Ray Bradbury's work for the first time ever in a single oversized hardcover volume.

Over the decades comic books have matured and developed into true mythology with their heroes (and antiheroes), villians, and extraordinary tales that both teach and reflect the true nature of the world. Their stories have become more complex and layered, and a massive, rich universe has developed from them thanks to the likes of Jim Lee and Jack Kirby. Superman, Batman, and Spiderman stand as beacons of our morals and virtues; and their incredible tales and origins are what we'll be passing on to our next generation. So move over Zeus, Hercules, Odysseus; there are new gods atop Mount Olympus.
The masks in Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’s “Watchmen” have always symbolized an idea or deeper meaning, and in HBO's latest series, they're allegory for so much more.

In this final installment of the Culture of Comics series, we are taking a look at comic creators who transcend the comic book medium in ways which liken their works more closely to forms of what is considered, "high art."
Black Panther may not be perfect in the technical department but incredible roles by its cast, the MCU's greatest villain yet, an impossibly cool setting, and a super hero with real emotional bite more than make up for any of it's shortcomings. I couldn't help but walk out of the theater beaming with pride and optimism for the future - and at the end of the day isn't that what super heroes are all about?
We're back and joined by guests and frequent contributors Shannon Griffiths and Stephen Silver to talk about the latest happenings in film and TV - what is must watch, the recent wave of blockbuster films, and releases just around the corner. And we discuss whether we think 'fanboyism' has started to become to toxic to the very things they love.
