Ava DuVernay's upcoming adaptation of DC Comics/Vertigo comic book DMZ is one of those series that's been on our radar since it was first announced, and one of the few productions that was lucky enough to finish filming before the COVID-19 pandemic began shutting down television productions around the world But as we all know,[...]

As excited as fans are for Neil Gaiman (American Gods, Good Omens), Allan Heinberg (Wonder Woman, Grey's Anatomy), and David Goyer's (Constantine, Krypton) 11-episode series adaptation The Sandman, let's not forget that this wasn't the first attempt to bring Gaiman's influential comic book series Sandman to life.

Believe it or not, we are only two weeks away from the return of DC Universe and (now) HBO Max's dysfunctional do-gooders Doom Patrol. That means it's as good a time as any for an official trailer. We already know that Mark Sheppard's (Doctor Who, Supernatural) Willoughby Kipling is set to return, but in the following […]

Ava DuVernay's upcoming series adaptation of Vertigo comic DMZ is climbing up our list of series to keep our eyeballs on if it gets the greenlight, so today's update from DuVernay was exactly the kind of thing we'd been waiting for Taking to Twitter, the writer-director-producer posted an official notification that shooting was underway -[...]

On the "television" side, we're excited for DuVernay's other venture in the DCU: overseeing production and directing the pilot for HBO Max's upcoming series adaptation of Brian Wood's Vertigo comic DMZ.Last month, it was confirmed that Rosario Dawson (Briarpatch) is set to lead the series as medic Alma Ortego Now we're learning from Deadline Hollywood[...]

It's pretty safe to say that DC Universe's live-action Doom Patrol series is not your typical "superhero show" – it makes shows like ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. look like the 60's Batman television series. A fourth-wall-breaking "big bad," a farting donkey, a Spanish priest's stigmata wounds as portals to other places, and an "homage" […]

A little more than a month after Netflix's Lucifer announced that viewers' final run with Tom Ellis' devilish lead was being extended from 10 to 16 episodes for its fifth and final season, fans are now getting a peek behind the curtain at what the new season holds. While it's not exactly an episode-by-episode spoiler […]

It was sad to sit and watch the series finale of The CW's iZombie, having been a diehard fan of the show from day one. I wasn't sure what I was bracing myself for or how I truly wanted it to end. Did I want a bloodbath and a slaughter of all my favorite characters, […]

The series finale of The CW's iZombie will definitely offer up a bloodbath.  I don't foresee any side truly being able to claim victory by the time the dust settles on "All's Well That Ends Well." Humans will use weapons; zombies will use 1000lbs of brute force and rage. It does not seem plausible that […]

With The CW's iZombie coming to an end, this week's episode "Bye, Zombies" was full of action, drama, tears, and comedy.
