A New Comic Will Imagine the Planets of the Apes We Never Saw on Screen

The original Planet of the Apes is an all-time classic, but the beloved movie wasn’t the first crack at bringing Pierre Boulle’s work to the big screen.

Jean Grey’s Latest Return From the Dead Is Unlike Any Other

It’s disingenuous to pretend that Jean Grey’s been “dead” in Marvel’s comics for some time now, considering that her time-displaced younger self has been leading a team of teen mutants in X-Men: Blue. But it also hasn’t quite been accurate to say the “real” Jean as been alive, either. The Adult Jean Grey, who first…
