Goose is both Captain Marvel’s mascot and the movie’s breakout star, and the felines who appear in the film have become a topic of fascination. The cats are divas, the cats don’t play well with the Skrulls, the cats are really just there for treats. While that all may be true, it appears as if Marvel’s been…

As a follow-up to its strange call for blood donations in celebration of Game of Thrones’ final season, HBO has now launched the third phase of its “For the Throne” campaign with a treasure hunt of sorts. Six Iron Thrones have been hidden across the globe, and should you be clever enough to figure out where they are,…

In a landscape that’s overcrowded with expensively-produced, live-action adaptations of comic books, Doom Patrol stands out in the canny way it picks and chooses some of the best tropes from the genre, tosses them into a blender, and turns them into a strange but smooth mix of human emotional arcs and unhinged,…

American Gods’ season two premiere leaned heavily on the fantastical—but the second episode, “The Beguiling Man,” brought us a back down to Earth for a bit.

The latest episode of Starz’s American Gods shines a fair amount of light on Shadow Moon’s past which, up until this point, was basically as enshrouded in mystery on the show as it was in the original novel. Learning more about Shadow and where he comes from, Ricky Whittle recently explained to io9, was important for…

Because an amnesiac Carol Danvers spends so much time during Captain Marvel trying to figure out who she is, there’s a way in which she’s never quite given a chance to deeply grapple with some of the moral issues the movie presents to her. That job largely falls on the audience, and the film’s relative…

Unlike the comic book companions to most other major cinematic universes, Titan Comics’ upcoming Blade Runner books are all canon and set within the same continuity of the original Blade Runner and its sequel, Blade Runner 2049. That’s what makes this exclusive look at the first cover to Blade Runner 2019 so…

The heartfelt finale of Steven Universe’s most recent season brought this part of Steven’s story to a close in such a profound way that you could easily get the impression the series as a whole was coming to an end. That might not be the case.

Because Goose plays such an integral part in Captain Marvel’s story, it was necessary for four different cat performers to be brought onto the film’s set in order to capture the range of Goose’s feline emotions. Some scenes featuring Goose, like when the cat first meets Nick Fury, were predictably easy to shoot, but…

While Marvel’s still moving forward with its slate of more cosmically-focused movies like Endgame and Eternals, it’s also making progress with a Shang-Chi feature film that, considering the character’s depiction in the comics, could be decidedly more grounded.

Early in Captain Marvel, after Carol Danvers and Nick Fury have met, the Kree warrior explains that her signature photon blasts are all the proof anyone needs that she’s not a member of the Skrull race stealthily invading Earth in 1995. Fury, understandably, has no reason to believe or doubt Carol because he has no…

The future of Noah Hawley’s Doctor Doom movie was immediately thrown into question the moment news broke that Disney had designs on purchasing 20th Century Fox in order to regain the cinematic rights to a number of Marvel characters, like the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. At some point, it’s likely that all of those…

Captain Marvel is finally in theaters. Unsurprisingly, the movie’s doing gangbusters at the box office, and Carol Danvers’ status as one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most powerful heroes has been solidified. But there’s so much more to Carol and Captain Marvel’s story than her cosmic powers and, while we liked…

While most of the monstrous heroes known as Swamp Thing (there are quite a few of them) have been loners in DC’s comics, Russell Weinwright, the star of Kirk Scroggs’ upcoming The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid series, is a regular preteen who’s just trying to make his way through middle school and chronicle his life on…

As relatively small as SHIELD Agent Phil Coulson’s role was in Iron Man almost 11 years ago, the character’s gone on to become one of the most important pieces of connective narrative tissue tying the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe together.

After early reports that Jafar’s mischievous bird companion Iago was not going to be part of Disney’s upcoming live-action adaptation of Aladdin from director Guy Ritchie, it now appears as if that’s very much not the case. Because Alan Tudyk has just been revealed to be playing the role.

With Captain Marvel, co-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck not only introduce the first female hero to lead her own movie set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but they also define a significant moment in the universe’s history that will factor into its future in a major way.

While we’ve all had our fair share of off days, where we find ourselves confronted with surprising situations that aren’t to our liking, it’s not often that we’re forced to deal with events so wildly out of the ordinary that we’ve got no frame of reference as to how to respond. For the heroes of this week’s best new…

DC Universe’s Doom Patrol dives deep into the idea that all of its superpowered heroes’ true strengths are grounded in the traumas that made them social outcasts. For each of them, becoming extraordinary also meant accepting certain truths about themselves and being willing to let old parts of their lives go so they…

When we think about “prestige” genre television shows that demonstrate how fantastical stories can be brought to the small screen, the series that most immediately comes to mind is, of course, HBO’s Game of Thrones (and perhaps Westworld). But American Gods’ Ricky Whittle believes that his show is the one that…
