Gears of War Makes a Bloody Return to Comics Next Year

The world of comics has been without giant, burly scifi soldiers carving bloody messes into alien hordes with their chainsaw guns for far too long since Wildstorm’s Gears of War comic came to an end in 2012. But good news for COG fans: the series is making a triumphant, gory return thanks to IDW. io9…

Todd McFarlane Finally Gets His Chance to Make Another Spawn Movie

It might be a match made in hell. Todd McFarlane, creator of Image Comics’ flagship character Spawn, has announced he’s partnering with Jason Blum and Blumhouse Productions—the company that produced Jordan Peele’s critically acclaimed horror-suspense movie Get Out—to bring the character back to the big screen. According to Deadline, McFarlane will write the first draft…

Game of Thrones Comic-Con Teaser Reveals a Meet-Up That Will Change the Game

The Game of Thrones panel at San Diego Comic-Con wasn’t too big on the surprises and shocks—after all, we’re already in the midst of season seven. However, a sneak peek at future episodes did bring two characters together—and combined, they’ll have the power to change the world. That’s right, it’s Melisandre and Daenerys! The red…

The New iZombie Features Undead Cops, a Refugee Crisis, and Grave-to-Table Dining

The third season finale of CW’s iZombie changed the game—and basically the entire world. Humans know about zombies now, and (New) Seattle will be the testing grounds for whether the two groups can live—and unlive, I guess—side-by-side. Based on the show’s panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, odds aren’t looking good https://gizmodo.com/izombies-season-finale-obliterated-the-status-quo-and-m-1796488390 When season…

Game of Thrones Producers Address Everyone’s Concerns About Confederate

The team that’s bringing Confederate, the just-announced alt-history drama in which the south secedes from the Union after a second Civil War and maintains slavery in present-day America, to HBO have heard the many, many concerns expressed about the series, and have an answer: We understand, but please hold your judgment. In an interview with…

Steven Universe‘s Next Chapter Will Be a Bit of a Murder Mystery

What the Hell Does the End of This Walking Dead Season Eight Trailer Mean?

Given that the war between Rick and Negan had just begun in last season’s finale, we were expecting The Walking Dead’s first season eight footage would be epic. It definitely is, but it’s the trailer’s very unexpected final shot that has us scratching our head about what it means. And you can watch it and…

These Evil Batmen Are Coming to Conquer the DC Universe

Between a series cryptic teaser images and an even more difficult to parse prelude comic, we knew that DC’s upcoming Dark Nights: Metal series was going to involve dark, alternate reality versions of the Justice League. But we had no idea they would all be quite this twisted—or that they were all going to be half…

The First Teaser for American Horror Story: Cult Tells Us Nothing, But It Sure Is Full of Creepy-Ass Clowns

Last night, we learned that Cult is the subtitle of American Horror Story’s seventh season, which is themed around the 2016 presidential election and will apparently involve the return of Freak Show’s dreaded Twisty the Clown. Now we’ve got our first teaser. And indeed, it is bursting with evil clowns. It also plays off the…

Peace Is Impossible in the New Trailer for Fear the Walking Dead

When we last left the cast of Fear the Walking Dead a very shady alliance had begun to be brokered. Well, in the trailer for the second half of season three, it seems pretty obvious that’s not going to hold. As you can see here, it doesn’t seem likely that the Ranch and Black Hat…

Young Justice: Outsiders Reveals Its New Heroes and the Team’s New Costumes

Very few things in the world excited us as much as the news that the cruelly truncated Young Justice would be returning for a third season in 2018 on a new DC streaming service. The announcement was light on details, but thanks to crowded early morning panel at San Diego Comic-Con we now know that…

Report: Ben Affleck Might Not Be Batman For Much Longer

Ben Affleck might be in Justice League as the DCEU’s Dark Knight, but he might not be holding onto the cowl for much longer: a new report claims that Warner Bros. is looking at plans to quietly phase out Affleck’s Batman and replace him with a new one. The Hollywood Reporter alleges that in the…

Universal May Want Channing Tatum to Be Its New Van Helsing

The negative reaction to The Mummy as the kicking-off point for Universal’s Dark Universe movies is apparently causing a bit of a rethink about the future of the monster franchise at the studio. Part of that rethink? Getting Channing Tatum to play the next cinematic incarnation of fiction’s most famous monster hunter, Abraham Van Helsing.…

An Open Letter From Medusa’s Inhumans Wig

Good afternoon, everyone. Let me start off by saying that I’ve been looking forward to this moment when I could address you all publicly for months now as I knew that my casting in ABC and Marvel’s Inhumans was sure to be the topic of many a conversation. There is perhaps no other performer in…

We’re Genuinely Annoyed at How Much We Love This Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Blu-Ray Ad

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is super-loaded with 1980s righteousness, so it should come as no surprise that even its freaking DVD/Blu-ray ad went the same route. We at io9 try to avoid posting commercials in general, so we find it deeply irksome that this one is so fun we felt we had to…

Ghosted Is Funnier Than Its First Trailer, But There’s Still Room For Improvement

We weren’t stoked on the Ghosted trailer when it dropped in May, but now we’ve seen the full pilot for the Fox scifi buddy comedy starring Craig Robinson and Adam Scott—and we can report that while the show’s first episode is still a little rough, it has definite potential. It’s tempting to just be sucked…
