Black Panther & The Crew became one of Marvel’s most important comics the moment the series first went to print. But given the recent public displays of hatred and terrorism here in the US from self-identified white supremacists, this week’s issue of the series is a particularly timely piece of required reading.

The funny thing about seeing all of Netflix’s Defenders fighting together is that when you think about it, they all kinda have a variation of the same archetypical superpower. The Defenders aren’t just the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s street-level heroes, they all punch things really hard—and that’s part of what makes…

We’re entering the home stretch of the long wait until we get to experience Taika Waititi’s vision for Thor: Ragnarok and see a bunch of wacky aliens fight in space to please Jeff Goldblum. But just because we already know an awful lot about the movie doesn’t mean that there isn’t more to learn.

Yeah, yeah, Rick Sanchez is great and so is Morty and that joke you just made about McDonald’s Szechuan sauce was incredibly clever, but I need you to be quiet for a second and look at this art of the Vindicators. I mean really look at it. Drink it in. Savor it. Bask in its glory.

Big superhero events are always marketed with promises of permanent status quo changes and shocking developments. The problem is, nobody believes that anymore.

By this point, you should know who killed Jason Blossom and kept all of Riverdale’s sultry, suspicious citizens in a state of low-grade terror for the better part of the show’s first season. Next season, though, it seems as if there might be an all-new, much creepier murderer with a connection to the Blossoms in town.

After months of not so subtly implying that he was ready to be done playing the world’s most iconic spy, Daniel Craig has finally confirmed that he will, in fact, be returning for the next 007 film to play James Bond one last time. But the actor was also candid and admitted his conflicting feelings about the role.

Director Justin Simien made a name for himself in 2014 with Dear White People, a comedy-drama tackling the often-fraught landscape of race relations on predominantly white college campuses. Simien’s since adapted the film into a Netflix series, and now he’s working on horror project called Bad Hair.

Batman’s origin story exists in something of an odd place within the grand comic book canon. It’s a tale we all know the general details and various specifics of. But writers seldom spend time on the timeframe of Bruce Wayne’s life as a young, newly orphaned kid.

Though it easily could have become an overly-reverential love letter to ‘80s movies, the Duffer brothers, who co-created Stranger Things, took special care to strike a balance between nostalgic dreaminess for the past and a sharp, novel take the various genres the series was clearly influenced by.

In Mike Mignola’s Hellboy series, Grigori Rasputin is the famed Russian occultist whose collaboration with German Nazis to bring about the apocalypse during World War II accidentally brought Hellboy to earth. Hellboy goes on to become one of the world’s greatest heroes and Rasputin....well. He’s an evil asshole.

Eddie Murphy’s Coming To America is one of the funniest, most important black comedies of the past 30 years, and if I’m not mistaken, Christopher Priest just worked a clever shout-out to the movie in Marvel’s Inhumans: Once and Future Kings. This one’s for Zamunda.

Though most of the amazing fight scenes in today’s big budget movies would be nearly impossible to create without them, we really don’t appreciate the incredible skill and artistry that stunt people bring to the big screen.

Imagine if Marvel’s Thanos and DC’s Darkseid had a baby, and then that baby hooked up with another giant, evil space demon thing and had another baby. That baby, according to Rick and Morty director Bryan Newton, would be the show’s newest big bad, Worldender, who went toe to toe with the Vindicators last night.

In the season finale of Jessica Jones’ first season, Jessica Jones finally gets her revenge on Kilgrave by using her strength to snap the guy’s neck and leaving him very much dead. Dead or not, though, it’s looking like actor David Tennant’s going to be a part of the show’s next season as well.

Though we’re only five episodes into this season of Game of Thrones, the show’s wasting absolutely no time and answering some of the burning questions we’ve had about characters since season one.

Every so often, you come across a comic that throws you for the sort of loop that makes you pause a few pages in and think, “I wasn’t at all prepared for how damned good this is.” Atari and Dynamite’s new Centipede series, based on the classic 1980s video game, is definitely one of those comics.

The Inhumans have always represented everything that’s wild, fantastic, confusing, and frustrating about Marvel’s comics. They are at once larger than life in the very best way, but also sort of absurd and ridiculous in a way that can at times make them difficult to take all that seriously.

If there’s one thing the late, great Adam West and the ever...curmudgeonly William Shatner had in common, it’s their ability to chewing the hell out of whatever scenery they happen to be near at any given moment. Thankfully, both actors turned themselves up to eleven in the new Batman vs. Two-Face animated movie.

Duke Thomas, the Gotham-based vigilante formerly known as Robin, is getting back to his roots this November in Batman and the Signal, a new series chronicling his adventures as a sort of Batman-by-day who patrols the city while Batman’s indisposed. As the sun sets, Signal passes the baton to Bats.
