HBO’s hit fantasy epic “Game of Thrones” returned Friday to Hall H at Comic-Con International in San Diego with a little less star power than usual, and virtually no information about what’s in store for next season. Hosted by “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Rob McElhenney, the presentation began with a video in which he and co-star Charlie Day interacted as “Game of Thrones” background characters who wanted to know if “winter is coming,” when exactly it will arrive. “I don’t have any shoes that aren’t open-toed,” Day joked…

The sixth season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” ended in way that left fans rabid for the next one. A new teaser video plays at that desire, highlighting the massive amount of prop and production work that goes into each episode while also acting as an announcement: Work is under way on Season 7. The teaser recalls some of the major events from the sixth season as the camera slowly pans across a noticeably darker throne room, and prop-makers are shown painting eyes onto funeral ceremony pebbles. HBO has…

When Marvel announced in 2013 that Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist would get their own TV shows on Netflix, it was also revealed that the heroes would eventually team up in a Defenders miniseries. To the causal Marvel fan, the chance of seeing a superhero team besides the Avengers is exciting, but hardcore comic book fans know that the MCU’s Defenders are different than the earlier iterations from the comics. However, using street-level heroes rather than the original set of members makes sense in terms of how…

I loved Mark Millar’s Civil War series in 2006–2007 with art by Steven McNiven. It had everything you would want in a cross over superhero comic extravaganza. Civil War follows the implementation and consequences of the Superhuman Registration Act, a legislative bill that requires the mandatory registration of any person based in the United States with super powers. The act arose due to public pressure for accountability following a series of superhuman-related events causing significant damage and death within the Marvel universe. Tony Stark, the superhero Iron Man, who had…

Spoiler alert! This article assumes you’ve seen the Ultimate Edition of the film, and goes full-spoiler. You’ve been warned. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was a deeply flawed film, built on misguided interpretations of both characters and the faith that the two of them would never, ever for any reason get together to exchange notes. But the extended, R-rated Ultimate Edition fixes a few problems with the original edit while deepening the problems with Zack Snyder’s take on Batman. The good news is that, outside of the script and…

The critics lambasted Batman v Superman and used the words like it was an “expensive prank, full of narrative nonsense, bore of a movie, the plot is absurd, full of gloom and doom is just the pits, a momentum-less ode to uncreative people, extraordinarily muddled and boring, it’s shockingly joyless and overlong, dark, gritty and poorly acted, it is as drained of fun as it is of light and color, it is a profoundly dissatisfying film, it is a hot, steaming heap of trash, and this thing is atrocious”.
