Universal Decided It Needs a Comics Imprint for Some Reason

“Disney has one. Warner Bros. has one. Why not us?”—some NBC Universal executive immediately speed-dialing Grant Morrison, presumably. Revealed by Variety, Universal Content Production (the TV production arm of NBC Universal that’s behind the production of Umbrella Academy for Netflix and the newly launched Peacock streaming service) is launching its own comics imprint. It’s awfully…

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Could Have Been Way Darker

Though Netflix’sShe-Ra and the Princesses of Power is about a bunch of plucky children teaming up to go on a magical adventure to save their world, the story it told was very much one about the emotional and physical devastation that war can bring to a peaceful society.

Ask any Funko fan and they’ll tell you the same thing: acquiring Funko exclusives at San Diego Comic-Con can be a nightmare. It used to be a matter of how early you lined up, but in recent years the process changed to an online lottery, meaning you had to hope you were randomly selected for…

The Primal Joy of Watching Captain Janeway Fight Giant Viruses

Friends, I wish I had something more profound to say. But I’ve been having a really good time rewatching Kathryn Janeway get her Ellen Ripley on in Star Trek: Voyager’s season three episode “Macrocosm,” and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact Kate Mulgrew gets to phaser her way through…

The Umbrella Academy‘s Season 2 Time Jump Into the Past Is Also a Major Step Forward

At first glance, the plot of Umbrella Academy’s upcoming second season might seem as if it were torn right out of the pages of Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s second volume of the Dark Horse comic.

A Wishbone Movie Will Bring the Literary Pup’s Historical Adventures to the Big Screen

Not all kids are interested in history and classic literature, but most kids are very interested in adorable dogs. The 1990s PBS series Wishbone cleverly melded the two, offering both an educational experience and a chance to see a Jack Russell terrier embrace each episode’s theme in full costume. It’s a winning formula, and it’ll…
