A few years ago, David Dastmalchian was with longtime friend James Gunn, getting ready to travel to a bachelor getaway before Gunn’s wedding.
He was excited to tell his friend that he’d landed a job writing a Creature Commandos comic for DC. Little did Dastmalchian know, Gunn — soon to be named head of DC Studios — was already working on his own take on Creature Commandos as an animated TV show about the team of monsters.
“He goes, ‘Look!’ He already had animatics and footage from his animated series,” says Dastmalchian, who worked with Gunn on The Suicide Squad. “I was afraid maybe my comic series would get canceled, because it’s a different Creature Commandos than what James is doing, and he said, “No, no, no. It’s totally fine. It exists. And certain publishing stories can exist separately.”

In the past, comic books and superhero movies lacked diversity, but times have changed for the better. Now, there’s more diversity in this beloved genre of fiction.
That’s why fans have gathered on Ranker to vote for the top 10 superhero movies that highlight black superheroes. Some results may surprise you, while others were expected.
10. ‘X-Men’ (2000)
‘X-Men’ does not center exclusively on a black superhero, but it prominently features Storm, portrayed by Halle Berry. This was a significant moment as Storm is one of the most powerful and prominent black superheroes in the Marvel Universe. She has since become a central figure in the X-Men series, known for her ability to control the weather.

In 1966, The Beatles' John Lennon stirred outrage around the world when he proclaimed in an interview: "We're more popular than Jesus now." It's fortunate that Wade Wilson isn't afraid to live life on the edge, because together with his mutant pal Wolverine, he can now make the same claim.
Per Deadline, "Deadpool & Wolverine" has overtaken Mel Gibson's ultra-violent 2004 Biblical tale "The Passion of the Christ" to become the highest-grossest R-rated movie of all time at the domestic box office. The superhero team-up movie has a running total of $396.6 million domestic and $428.5 million internationally, for a global total of $824.1 million through Sunday. After just 10 days in theaters, it has already surpassed both previous "Deadpool" movies and its membership in the billion-dollar box office club is looking like an inevitability.
There are a couple of caveats here, the first of which is to note that "Deadpool & Wolverine" still only ranks at No.

It seems the entrenching and almost interminable Spawn film reboot now has another name with “King” in the title.
As reported by SuperHeroHype, Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions posted the film’s new title, “King Spawn,” with a photo of the screenplay’s title page on the social media platform X. The subject of which can be found below.

Back in May, we had a promising update on the Spawn reboot, which has undergone extensive rewrites since Jamie Foxx was attached to the titular role. The most recent rewrite was from writers Matt Mixon, Malcolm Spellman, and Scott Silver.
Blum stated King Spawn is expected to be released in 2025, but given there is no actual release date, and no director is attached, even though one of the producers, the Spawn creator himself, Todd McFarlane, volunteered to direct, it is presumed he has stepped down.

With Zack Snyder’s involvement with Warner Bros. and DC officially over (although we think he could return for the Justice League sequels), fans are wondering how well he would do with other superhero stories. When you consider his darker style and tone of filmmaking, he’d be perfectly suited for some of comics’ grittier characters. With […]

Fans of the Pawn Stars have reason to rejoice: the popular show is back on History with new episodes.
Pawn Stars is still going strong during Season 22, with Rick Harrison and Austin “Chumlee” Russell at the top of their game.
Rick and Chumlee are more often found at events for Pawn Stars and mingling with fans than Corey is, which may be why fans think Corey doesn’t want to be on the show.
Rick and Chumlee were spotted in Mexico City in May for the show and were last together doing PR at a bar in Las Vegas. Fans of the show said they seemed to be living their best lives after that.
Corey Harrison has been having a rough time with fans who think he is only on the show because his contract requires him to be there. He seems to have checked out mentally.

When Hugh Jackman came on our screens for the first time as Logan/Wolverine, everyone was in awe of how good he looked as a character. His physique and the way he said ‘bub’ will forever be etched in our minds as a perfect representation of a book-to-movie character. But to achieve that bit of perfection, the actor had to follow a strict diet and workout regimen every time he wore that superhero suit.

Todd McFarlane is known to Marvel fans as the artist behind The Amazing Spider-Man comic series. In 1992, he co-founded Image Comics and created the anti-hero Spawn, which was one of his earlier high-school projects. After HBO ran with a Spawn animated series, McFarlane has been planning a Spawn movie for over a decade. He teamed up with Blumhouse in 2017 for the film and has an update for fans now.

“Spawn” creator Todd McFarlane shared an update on the long-awaited reboot of the comic book antihero franchise on Thursday at San Diego Comic-Con.
The new “Spawn” movie has been in the works for nearly a decade, with McFarlane teaming up with Jason Blum’s production company Blumhouse in 2017 to develop the next chapter in the human-turned-Hellspawn’s story. In 2018, Oscar winner Jamie Foxx signed on to star as the titular antihero.
On Monday, McFarlane and Blum posting on social media, revealing the title page of the first draft of the script — titled “King Spawn” and written by Matt Mixon, Malcolm Spellman (“Falcon and the Winter Soldier”) and Scott Silver (“Joker”) — building anticipation for the comic book creator’s scheduled appearance in Ballroom 20 on Thursday afternoon.

Todd McFarlane is sharing an update on King Spawn, a film based on characters from Image Comics.
The President and co-founder of Image Comics and Blumhouse teased earlier this week that a script titled King Spawn, written by Matt Nixon, Malcolm Spellman, and Scott Silver, was ready for production.
In a new interview, McFarlane clarified that the title is only a working title for now, noting that the movie is not an adaptation of the comic book series.
“It’s probably just a working title. I think it’s cool. It’s strong,” McFarlane said in an interview with ComicBook. “The thing is, is that it was a way for us to say that we’re not just gonna emulate the past and he felt by just calling it Spawn plain old Spawn that it would sort of go, oh, this is just a reboot and, and repeat.

Todd McFarlane has been working on a Spawn movie for what seems like an eternity, but there have been some promising developments in recent weeks. Blumhouse’s Jason Blum recently teased the script for the movie, which is titled King Spawn, and THR reports that the search is now on for a director.
With the script in a good place, Todd McFarlane and Jason Blum will soon start meeting with potential directors for the project. Once that happens, the next step will be to approach studio partners. The report also doesn’t know if Jamie Foxx, who has been attached to star in the Spawn movie since 2018, is still involved. The actor suffered a mysterious “medical complication” last year, which required a lengthy recovery period. King Spawn is expected to be a mid-budget movie that will likely cost more than Blumhouse typically spends on a project.

Todd McFarlane has been touting the upcoming Spawn movie for years, and he admits that it’s been a challenge for the gung ho comic book creator to be patient as the process unfolds.
But now one key portion of its development hell phase is ending, and a new chapter is beginning for the project, based on the Image Comics books centering on a former black-ops agent who makes a deal with a demon after being betrayed and killed.
King Spawn now has a completed script, one that McFarlane and producer Jason Blum’s Blumhouse have enough confidence in to start meeting with directors for the movie.

Do not adjust your screen. We have an honest-to-goodness update about Todd McFarlane’s long-gestating Spawn movie. According to Jason Blum, the new Spawn feature is called King Spawn. On Monday, the Blumhouse Productions CEO announced the title on social media alongside the script’s cover page. In the image, Matt Mixon, Malcolm Spellman, and Scott Silver‘s names appear on the document, with credit to Todd McFarlane as the creator of Spawn. It’s been almost a decade since McFarlane teased the film reboot.

We weren't sure if this would ever actually see the light of day, but Spawn creator Todd McFarlane has now taken to social media to announce that the script for the long-awaited reboot is finally complete.
The project has also been given an official title: King Spawn.
We assume this means the story will be at least partially based on the King Spawn comic run, which you can check out a synopsis for below.
"King Spawn further expands the Spawn Universe with a growing presence of Hell, Heaven, and Heroes here on Earth. A classic villain from Spawn's past has begun asserting his powers on Earth by corrupting as many souls as possible. And only Spawn knows that he even exists."

Well, guess what? Miracles do happen because now, Jason Blum (the Blumhouse boss) has confirmed that a script has been turned in. Does that mean “Spawn” is actually happening?

John Leguizamo’s decade-spanning career involved a lot of villainous roles, but only one of them he considered his ultimate favorite. He starred in Mark A.Z. Dippé’s 1997 horror action film Spawn as Violator/Clown and for the actor, it’s the role of a lifetime.

While he enjoyed working on the movie, the process and preparation were equally tiresome. His makeup and costume were too much to bear, and at times, he would even feel claustrophobic.

Speaking with Av Club, actor John Leguizamo recalled the time he played Spawn’s Violator on the big screen. The character is basically a clown-like demon so he had to wear a body costume and prosthetic head.

New England filmmaker, Geno McGahee, is known for his Scary Tales franchise, beginning with his 2008 original Scary Tales, followed by Scary Tales: Last Stop, Scary Tales: Dead Zone and the upcoming October release, Scary Tales: Dark Walker. The interest in the series has led McGahee to release a series, featuring 8 episodes in season one and the same expected for season two, which is currently in development.
McGahee noted that “my anthology films have really taken off and it has led me to this decision to start a series. I’ve always been a fan of shows like Tales From The Darkside and Tales From The Crypt and I’m hoping to produce something similar with my own creations coming to life and entertaining the audience.”

Image Comics’ “Sam and Twitch: Case Files” is a new ongoing mystery title from writer Todd McFarlane and illustrator Szymom Kudranski, featuring 2 crime-fighting detectives, who persevere despite the odds, with the next issue available July 8, 2024:
“…from the world of ‘Spawn’, comes a new tale of intrigue and deception in this noir crime drama.
“Now the hunt for a killer brings to light an old case our two distinguished detectives thought long closed. Could there be a missing connection?
“Unexpectedly, the investigation takes a turn that neither detective saw coming. Now they are the target of a vicious killer! Just when they thought they'd cracked the case, another body turns up, while the killer is constantly one step ahead of them…

Seeing one of your favorite shows canceled much too soon is such a common occurrence that we at Primetimer dedicated a whole feature type to exploring short-lived series that cast long shadows over the medium — shows like Undeclared, Todd McFarlane’s Spawn, Ultraviolet, and Wonderfalls. The latest — and, as it turns out, final — edition revisited the sublime Lodge 49, which presented this world for what it is (mired in capitalism and war) while also envisioning what it could be.

There was a time in the past when comic books and movie adaptations of superheroes were not all that diverse. Luckily the times have changed and now there is a lot more color in that special part of fiction.
This why fans have gathered on Ranker to vote for the top 10 superhero movies that focus, in one way or another, on black superheroes. Some results might surprise you, while some were perfectly reasonable to expect.
10. ‘Blade Trinity’ (2004)
The third installment of the original franchise wasn’t received all that well and it’s considered a dark spot on the otherwise fantastic franchise. Personally, the movie wouldn’t cut it in my top 10, but taking into account that the franchise overall indirectly saved Marvel from going bankrupt I can understand why fans are sentimentally tied to it.
9. ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ (2014)

Superhero movies have surged in popularity over the past decades, with the MCU standing as one of the largest and most lucrative cinematic universes today. While many modern superhero films lean towards PG-13 ratings with action-packed thrills and intrigue, some embrace elements of horror and gore.
Fans on Ranker recently cast over 20K votes to determine their top superhero movie of all time, yielding results that may catch you off guard.
10. ‘Unbreakable’ (2000)
M. Night Shyamalan isn’t known for making superhero films, so when he released ‘Unbreakable,’ it was a surprising departure. Even more surprising was its quality, leading to a trilogy of unconventional superhero movies. The film eschews conventional horror, focusing instead on psychological depth.
9. ‘Glass’

Superhero movies have risen to prominence in the last decades, and currently, the MCU is one of the most profitable and biggest cinematic universes to date. Although modern take on the genre is oftentimes PG-13, with plenty of action, sometimes thriller, and intrigue, not all superhero movies shy away from horror and gore.
Fans gathered on Ranker with over 20K votes to choose their favorite superhero flick of all time, and the results just might surprise you.
10. ‘Unbreakable’ (2000)
M. Night Shyamalan is not exactly famous for creating superhero flicks, so when he created ‘Unbreakable,’ that pretty came as a shock, what was even more shocking was the fact that the movie was good. It led to a three-part series of unconventional superhero movies. The movie is not your conventional horror, instead, it focuses on the psychological aspect.

Sixteen years have passed since Spawn creator Todd McFarlane announced he was going to make sure a new Spawn movie was going to be made, even if he had to produce, direct, and finance it himself. Blumhouse Productions has been helping McFarlane develop the project since 2017, and even though he had written a script himself, they’ve also hired multiple screenwriters to do further work on the script. We heard a couple of years ago that Scott Silver (Joker), Malcolm Spellman (Captain America: New World Order), and Matthew Mixom (Yesterday Was Everything) were all typing away on the script – and during a new interview with ComicBook.com, McFarlane focused on the contributions being made by Silver, saying the writer is aiming to give the new film meaning and purpose.
McFarlane told ComicBook.com, “There’s a script but the writers are, they’re not quite sort of satisfied with their own work,...

Believe it or not, it was way back in 2017 when we first learned of Todd McFarlane's plans to team with Blumhouse for a new R-Rated Spawn movie.
Spider-Man: No Way Home star Jamie Foxx boarded the movie in 2018, with Hawkeye's Jeremy Renner tapped to play Twitch Williams later that same year.
Since then, we've had what's felt like an endless series of updates from McFarlane. He's talked about redesigning the hero, possibly selling the reboot to a streaming service, issues with the screenplay, and even enlisted new writers in Scott Silver (Joker), Malcolm Spellman (Captain America: New World Order) and up-and-coming scribe Matthew Mixon.
Despite all of that, the movie is seemingly no closer to becoming a reality.
"There's a script but the writers are, they're not quite sort of satisfied with their own work, which is what all of us creative people are," McFarlane, who once planned...

It was too hard to narrow it down to just a few, so now we’ve put together another list of 80s stars we want back, including a couple of Freddy victims, some 1980s beauties we miss, and a lady we’ve only seen twice on our screens.

In 1992, comic book writer and artist Todd McFarlane created a new superhero character called Spawn. Five years later, director Mark A.Z. Dippé and screenwriter Alan B. McElroy brought Spawn to the screen in a PG-13 rated movie that didn’t go over well with a lot of fans. There were rumblings of a sequel for years after that, but nothing ever happened. Back around 2005, McFarlane announced he was going to make sure a new Spawn movie was going to be made, even if he had to produce, direct, and finance it himself. For nearly twenty years, he has been slowly pushing that project forward… but there is some level of hope that we might finally see the new Spawn sometime in 2025, so we figured we should put together a list of Everything We Know About the Spawn Reboot.

How often do we see a sequel to a spinoff that is actually a lot of fun? What if you then also made it a tragic love story that involves zombies? That sounds like a Roger Corman or Troma movie but in actuality it’s Return of the Living Dead III (watch it Here) and its from channel favorite Brian Yuzna. Return of the Living Dead is a stone cold classic and is one that I sometimes prefer watching over any of the original Romero trilogy due to how different it is and how it sets up its own rules. Part 2 I have great memories of seeing on TV at my Nana’s house in Santa Ana, California on an old tube TV. It skates that Evil Dead II line of leaning much further into the comedy realm than the first, which is pretty funny in its own way and right.

After working together on the 2021 version of Wrong Turn, director Mike P. Nelson and screenwriter Alan B. McElroy are re-teaming for the Brazil-set creature feature Titan – and Deadline reports that Kiana Madeira of the Fear Street trilogy and Jessica Rothe of the Happy Death Day movies are set to star in the film!
The story Titan is set against the backdrop of Brazil’s Curuçá River in the present day. When a team of young doctors embark on a local humanitarian mission through the Amazon rainforest, it soon becomes clear that not everyone – or everything – is happy to see them. Their arrival draws the attention of an ancient predator, the “Boiúna”. This ancient killer, dominant on land and water, clashes to reclaim the jungle. The ensuing fight for survival blurs the roles of hunter, prey, and hero.
The film is coming our way from the Resident Evil franchise makers at Constantin Film and Jb Pictures.

The film is coming our way from the Resident Evil franchise makers at Constantin Film and Jb Pictures.

At the start of Matt Groening's and David X. Cohen's 31st-century sci-fi sitcom "Futurama," the alcoholic robot Bender (John Dimaggio) sounded a little bit more like a drunken vagrant. He slurred his speech more and seemed less able to concentrate. As the show progressed, Bender became more self-assured, like the guy at the bar who — after his fourth shot of Jim Beam — is 100% confident he could thrash the bouncer. Bender became egotistical in addition to being a drunken criminal. On DVD commentary tracks, the makers of "Futurama" have said that Bender, in being a robot, allowed them more explicit depictions of violence and vice; a human character cannot drink a gallon of rotgut whiskey and smoke four cigars simultaneously, but a robot can. The Fox censors are weird.
Prior to "Futurama," Dimaggio only had a few credits to his name. His first gig was playing ancillary voices in...

For a guy that looks like a clear rip-off of Batman and Spider-Man, Spawn has some convoluted backstory. And in the decades since the character first appeared in the original launch of Image Comics, his mythos have only grown more overwrought, with each addition including ever more players in a war between Heaven and Hell.
It may not (yet) involve cyborg gorillas like Cy-Gor or any number of angels and demons who trouble the late Al Simmons, but the saga of a Spawn reboot on the big screen has similarly had a myriad of twists and turns. In 2019, Spawn creator and action figure magnate Todd McFarlane announced a deal with Blumhouse, masters of the B-movie hit. As previously reported here at Den of Geek, Blumhouse gave McFarlane the means to make the superhero movie of his dreams: a “dark, ugly two hours worth of movie” with “no joy.”
Strangely, this...

Sixteen years have passed since Spawn creator Todd McFarlane announced he was going to make sure a new Spawn movie was going to be made, even if he had to produce, direct, and finance it himself. Blumhouse Productions has been helping McFarlane develop the project since 2017, and even though he had written a script himself, they’ve also hired multiple screenwriters to do further work on the script. Blumhouse founder Jason Blum has said he’s hoping Spawn will be released sometime in 2025… and during a new interview with ComicBook.com, McFarlane said he considers 2024 to be the “make or break” year for Hollywood’s involvement with the reboot. If the movie doesn’t go into production this year, he’s turning to outside investors.
Here’s McFarlane’s quote: “2024 is gonna be my make or break anyways, right? Either I’m gonna give Hollywood the best chance to do it and,...

Another year, another non-update about that Spawn movie that Blumhouse and Todd McFarlane can’t seem to figure out. It’s been a pattern with this project for the past several years that small bits of news are followed by long periods of silence, so don’t get too excited.
Before we get into this latest little tidbit, here’s a brief refresher course…
Back in October of 2022, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane announced that Blumhouse was still on board the Spawn ship and that Scott Silver (Joker), Malcolm Spellman (Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and Matthew Mixon had been hired the write the script. Additionally, at the time, Jamie Foxx was still attached to star as the title character.

Francis Ford Coppola's bleak Vietnam War picture "Apocalypse Now" is not only one of the best films of 1979, but is handily one of the finest, most important films of its decade. Using Joseph Conrad's 1899 novella "Heart of Darkness" as a template, Copolla transposed the book's action from the late 1800s Congo to the jungles of Cambodia, and, in so doing, exposed the madness and horror of the Vietnam War in harrowing, soul-hollowing terms. As Captain Willars (Martin Sheen) treks deeper and deeper into the chaos of the natural world -- drifting ever closer to the insane, cult-founding rogue Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) -- reality begins to dissipate. Eventually, madness and violence are all that remain, and war is reduced to its base function: brazen, meaningless destruction and cruelty. "Apocalypse Now" is a great, great film.

Welcome to Sales to Astonish, a new column in association with comics retailer The Unreality Store, in which Matthew De Monti brings us news on comic sales and the general moves in the comic market over the past month or so!
Having written this column for over a year now I am starting to notice some distinctive trends in my monthly activity throughout the year. I had touched on elements of this in previous instalments but in a nutshell the trends can be defined as simply as this:
Busy months – January, March, May, October, November & December Busy days – Monday & Thursday Busiest hours – 6-8am Thursday
It will come as no surprise to regular readers that the busiest hours in the week immediately follow the release of new stock in the store on a Thursday. At a guess I would say that Monday is busy because people casually browse the website...

November 1st is a tough day for horror hounds. The decorations are still up, the air remains crisp, but the spirit has seemingly moved on, perhaps vanquished by the sun. Alamo Drafthouse says to hell with all of that and has announced two month’s worth of genre joy that’ll take you from Dia de los Muertos to Christmas Eve with minimal whiplash.
Terror Tuesday is a weekly slash-and-thrash through the world of horror, and they’ve booked a number of holiday-tinged forever classics mixed in with new canon-busting entries, many of which are screening from new, sparkling scans. Highlights include Lake Mungo, Tales from the Hood, The Changeling, and a pre-Thanksgiving feast with the Sawyers.
Weird Wednesday is similarly a weekly exploration of exploitation, pop oddities, and underloved gems. (Think of it as channel-surfing a transmission from a better dimension). And like Terror Tuesday, they’ve loaded it...

In The Late Great, Primetimer staffers and contributors revisit shows that were cut short, but still cast a long shadow over the TV landscape.
As the comics-to-streaming pipeline continues to feed the insatiable television market with big-budget adaptations like The Sandman, Loki, and The Boys, overall fan and critical reception have crowned Prime Video’s Invincible king. That almost certainly has something to do with the series’ animated format, which enables its unrestrained exploration of sci-fi concepts and superhero action in a way that live-action television can’t replicate. It also helps that its unabashedly violent and big-hearted take embraces the teenage turmoil and sanguine attitude of Robert Kirkman’s Skybound/Image Comics series instead of softening its edge to court broader appeal. That commitment echoes an older Image animated series whose cult status keeps it in conversation among its modern adult animation contemporaries: Todd McFarlane’s Spawn.

Taylor Swift isn’t the “marquee character” stepping up to save theaters from a strike-caused theatrical vacuum. Freddy Fazbear, the title antagonist in the popular horror-comedy video game “Five Nights at Freddy’s” is doing his part. The Blumhouse-produced adaptation, produced for $20 million and boasting an all-audiences PG-13 rating, earned a whopping $10.3 million in Thursday preview grosses.
Even if the poorly-reviewed IP adaptation plays frontloaded (think a 20% Thursday-to-weekend split like the “Twilight Saga” sequels), either because it’s “for the fans” or because it’s concurrently available on Peacock, Universal is still looking at a $50 million-plus opening weekend. If it plays anything like a conventional, less-frontloaded film, well, a 15% Thursday-to-weekend split gives it $66 million for the weekend.
Based on a series of comically horrific (or horrifically comical) video games centered on a Chuck E. Cheese-type establishment that kills people, the film arrives in theaters just nine years after the first point-and-click survival video game.

Jason Blum is bringing the “Blumhouse edge” to the upcoming “Spawn” film adaptation.
During a press line for Blumhouse at New York Comic Con 2023 (per Screen Rant), Blum teased the “Spawn” movie currently in development at his eponymous production company.
“It’s going to be edgy and original as compared to other superhero movies,” he said. “It’s gonna definitely feel like the Blumhouse version of a superhero movie.”
Blumhouse Productions is best known for producing horror movies such as “M3gan,” “Get Out” and the “Paranormal Activity,” “Insidious” and “The Purge” film franchises.
Back in 2017, original comic creator Todd McFarlane announced that a new movie based on his human-turned-Hellspawn was in the works at Blumhouse. McFarlane, who is on board to write and direct the film, is also producing with Blum.
“We just signed [Jason Blum] yesterday,” McFarlane said in a video announcement at the time during San Diego Comic-Con. “No more theoretical … It’s coming.

It has been more than a quarter-century since we last saw Todd McFarlane’s Spawn on the big screen. With Blumhouse Productions attached to resurrect the Image Universe favorite, its founder and figurehead Jason Blum is promising that his studio’s trademarks will be injected into Spawn’s veins. So long as we don’t get a bunch of dancing Spawns at the premiere, that sounds fine to us…
Blum – who launched Blumhouse Productions in 2000 and has made a clear impact on the horror genre – recently told Screen Rant, “I’m going to bring the Blumhouse edge. It’s going to be edgy and original as compared to other superhero movies.

Exorcists # 1 is now on Kickstarter, but we have a preview you can read right now! The three-issue supernatural series is created and written by novelist and Bram Stoker Award finalist Tom Leveen (Spawn), with art and colors by Marco Bovi and letters and editing by John Robinson IV.
“I’ve been so fortunate with the artists I’ve worked with, first with my YA comic Beckett’S Last Mixtape, and now again with Marco on Exorcists,” said Tom Leveen. “He gets what I’m after, and brings these characters and scenarios to life in dramatic fashion. I love seeing his email pop up in my inbox, because I know when I open it I’m gonna be thrilled!”

Since 2019, writer Rodney Barnes and artist Jason Shawn Alexander have delivered an imaginatively macabre take on vampires with their Image comic book series Killadelphia. Following a shocking surprise appearance by Todd McFarlane’s Spawn in Killadelphia #30 back in April, the endlessly eerie series will return with a new nightmarish story arc this November, and in addition to the return of Spawn, readers can look forward to more big names popping up in the supernatural side of Philadelphia, including Blacula, Savage Dragon, and Count Dracula!

If you are a fan of martial arts-oriented movies like me, surely you have come across multiple movies starring the forever iconic Michael Jai White. In his career spanning over thirty years, the criminally underrated actor has starred in several dozen movies and series that could never justify his potential.

One such creator is the inimitable Sam Keith, a Michigan-born writer and artist who was a part of Image Comics’ creator-owned-character boom of the 90s. However, Keith’s contribution to Todd McFarlane’s celebration of 90s excess was very different from his fellow artists’, with his The Maxx subverting super-hero tropes and iconography in order to delve into a deeply disturbing and surprisingly human story about...
