New Doctor. New friends. New TARDIS. New worlds. And apparently, new monsters and new monsters only.

Carol Danvers has had as many interpretations of how she became a superhero as she’s had superhero mantles themselves—but the first trailer for her solo movie was not the only new take on it we got this week.

If you picked up a physical copy of writer Brian Azzarello and artist Lee Bermejo’s Batman: Damned this week, then you were treated to a passing glimpse of a totally-nude Bruce Wayne in the Batcave. From the sounds of it, DC regrets greenlighting the decision to show off Batman’s penis.

We’re returning to the Alpha Quadrant a bit sooner than we expected: although Star Trek: Discovery won’t air until next year, we’re getting to explore the lives of four of its characters in a few weeks’ time, as part of the Short Treks short series.

So immediately upon re-opening up the mailbag last week, I got sick. Turns out maybe you shouldn’t leave a bag in an irradiated wasteland for a year and then immediately start sticking your hand in there. But no matter! This week: How to protect your budding nerd children, a Star Trek special effects dilemma, and the…

The Star Wars movies under Disney’s purview have ranged from excellent expansions to the franchise to perfectly fine—opinions may vary of course, but there hasn’t really been a generally poorly-received one.
