CBS’s Evil has become one of this fall’s most pleasant surprises—if you can apply “pleasant” to a show that examines the very worst of humanity: serial killers, child murderers, racist doctors, people who produce fake “ghost hunter” TV shows, etc. But the worst of the worst prize goes to one character: Leland Townsend.

What do blood, breast milk, and hard liquor all have in common? They’re all front and center in the first trailer for The Boys’ second season.

Welcome back to Toy Aisle, io9's regular round up of the best things we’ve seen on the internet this week that aren’t Baby Yoda, because we’ve already blogged those. This week, Hot Toys finds another Spider-Man costume to gorgeously replicate, Lego adds to its line of modular buildings, and at last there’s a helmet…

If there was one thing the end of The Expanse season three left you feeling—other than sadness at its temporary end (before Amazon’s revival)—it was “possibility.” The Ring had opened up hundreds of new worlds and it seemed like a new way of life was within everyone’s reach. Beltalowda! A time to finally take control…

Last year Valve proclaimed that it would allow virtually any game on its Steam service, so long as the game wasn’t illegal or “straight up trolling”—but activist-minded developers who have made games about the Hong Kong protests have realized that, perhaps, there are other ways to get barred from the gaming platform.

The nature of Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher books being more focused on a collection of time-strewn short stories than it is actual linear novels makes the particular trial of adapting them for television a struggle. It was one Lauren Schmidt Hissrich wrangled with when she helped bring Geralt to life for Netflix—but we…

Before Star Wars belonged to Disney, it belonged to Kathleen Kennedy. George Lucas himself picked the legendary producer to run his beloved namesake, Lucasfilm, before Mickey Mouse swooped in and bought it all up. And at that time the plan was always this: A new trilogy of films, which ends later this month in Star…

We knew that Jason Reitman’s upcoming Ghostbusters sequel would continue the story of a world profoundly changed after ghosts descended upon New York City, and an ancient god breached an interdimensional portal with the intention of destroying humanity. But some newly released information about the film makes it seem…

In 2015, Cartoon Network and developer Grumpyface Studios released Steven Universe: Attack the Light, a simple yet delightful turn-based mobile RPG with strong Paper Mario vibes. 2017’s console follow-up, Save the Light, beefed up the series with intricate combo attacks and free-roaming exploration. A new entry in the…

There are three types of people in this weird world of ours: people who are losing their minds with excitement for the Arrowverse’s imminent Crisis on Infinite Earths; people who are interested in DC’s epic, live-action superhero crossover event but don’t know enough about all the comics and continuity to understand…

The Star Wars fandom, which is known for being levelheaded and well-tempered as a whole, is currently in the midst of a roiling debate as to whether The Mandalorian’s Baby Yoda is superior to (or at least cuter than) The Last Jedi’s porgs. You’d think Rian Johnson might be a bit biased in favor of the chubby birds he…

Lego becomes more and more enjoyable as your collection grows, until the point when your morass of plastic bricks becomes so overwhelming that it’s impossible to find the piece you’re looking for. At that point, you need to develop a sorting system, or do what Daniel West did, and use a bunch of your Lego to build a…

A24's In Fabric tells a horrific story about a sentient dress that kills people, but the murderous garment isn’t the only evil the movie’s heroine Sheila (Marianne Jean-Baptiste) ends up having to face. While Sheila’s slow to realize how dangerous the dress is, she’s keenly aware of the threat that her two unsettling…

It’s sort of like how American English takes the letter “u” out of perfectly good words like it’s some kind of upstart revolutionary, but this time, it’s inverse, and the Brits are taking out...Batwoman?

The decade is coming to a close, year and years of forward progress in design and production having transformed games as we know them. Professional actors fill video game casts and look so realistic that they might as well be right there. It’s a remarkable change, but I’ve gotta say, I miss the hammy voice acting of…
