While much of the buzz out of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con was about all of the big films dropping in the coming months and years, comics publishers like IDW were in full force with announcements about—wait for it—comic books that people will soon be able to go out and read. What a concept.

Like many of you, I was skeptical when news broke that Universal Studios Hollywood was re-theming one of its most iconic rides. Jurassic Park: The Ride, which opened in 1996, was becoming Jurassic World: The Ride. And, not being a particular fan of the new movies, this seemed like a bummer. However, I’m happy to…

Seth MacFarlane’s delightfully entertaining sci-fi series, The Orville, will be back for a third season...just not on Fox! But thankfully that means we’ll get to see what happens after season two’s timeline shake-up. To shake things up ourselves, we stopped by a special Orville exhibit at San Diego Comic-Con last week …

Shawn the Immortal Being thinks he’s here to torture us with nine minutes of bloopers from The Good Place, but what he doesn’t (or perhaps does?) realize is that we’re here for every forking second of it.

Because it was marketed as a lighthearted follow up to Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home didn’t initially seem as if it was going to be a movie that had any sort of major repercussions for the larger MCU. It was just going to be a movie about Peter Parker bopping around Europe and befriending weirdos in…

The Lion King offers a number of lessons around innocence, deception, and love. However, one of my favorite takeaways from the movie—both the original and the remake—is the so-called Circle of Life. We all know the term, made famous by the classic song by the same title.

San Diego Comic-Con has once again come and gone, leaving us with a flurry of feelings and a lot of hotel restaurant bills for shrimp tacos. io9 was there to experience everything, giving you in-depth coverage on the ground and reporting on panels. There were plenty of highs, a few lows, and one thing that was so…

Amazon’s new superhero show, The Boys, debuts this week and we’ve already seen and heard plenty about it. However, the studio just released a final trailer and it’s basically everything you could want from the show and then some.

Superhero characters with multiple personalities are often tactless treatments of mental illness masquerading as misguided acting showcases. Looking at you, M. Night Shyamalan. However, the metaphysical reverse—a character with one consistent personality spread over multiple bodies, all working in unison as a human…

If you read Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark as a kid, no doubt you’re still haunted by Stephen Gammell’s chilling illustrations. When Guillermo del Toro decided to produce a film version, with brother-in-horror André Øvredal (Trollhunter, The Autopsy of Jane Doe) directing, he knew that bringing…

In the wake of the sudden death of Titans special effects coordinator Warren Appleby, the series’ cast and producers pulled out of its scheduled portion of the DC Universe panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con in order to stay with the crew, and attendees were instead presented with a brief glimpse of the show’s…

At about this time next year, we’ll have a pretty good idea of what the next generation of video games will look like. New consoles will likely be shown off, bold new streaming initiatives will begin to launch, and we’ll see all the wonderful kinds of games they will bring us. All these new things will come, and we’ll…

When Netflix first pitched Lauren Schmidt Hissrich the idea of doing a series based on The Witcher, she turned it down. She was a fan of the books and video games—so much so she even included a bathtub Easter egg in the first season—but was afraid of taking on a fantasy saga. What finally convinced her? Getting to…
