Media Release

Have we found our Shazam with Alan Ritchson? The actor answered a fan’s question on Twitter, “So you’re gonna play Shazam, right?” Alan Ritchson replied with a big, “Yup!” That sure sounds like he’s playing Shazam!

Silver Surfer #6 Review

Media Release

I’ve not been reading many Marvel Comics of late. Secret Wars wasn’t my cup of tea, providing a great opportunity to stop purchasing digitally day and date and finally use my Marvel Unlimited subscription. Civil War 2 pulling the line together again – well, more like strangling it – has seen me buying only books I really, really like. Vision, Scarlet Witch, Hellcat… and Silver Surfer. There’s a wonderful breeziness to this series as the Surfer and companion Dawn Greenwood explore the literal Marvel Universe. Big fights, big Terra-Forms, occasionally,…

First, it should be pointed out just how little Peter Parker is actually in his own book, but the upside of that is the increased screen time…

Here’s the latest on the series Star Trek: Discovery

Media Release

We knew the lead character in Star Trek: Discovery would be female – and not a captain – but turns out we won’t learn her name… at least, at first. “When we introduce our protagonist, she is called Number One,” Fuller told Ain’t It Cool News – noting that the moniker’s a tribute to Majel Barrett‘s character from the original Trek pilot. We will learn our new hero’s name by the end of the first 13-part season, though… Why just 13 episodes? Fuller thinks any more would “fatigue the show”,…
