FX's Y has found a best friend for Ben Schnetzer's (Happy Town) Yorick Brown, with Elliot Fletcher (The Fosters, Shameless) set as a series regular in the network's adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's acclaimed comic book series Y: The Last Man (character details below). With Animal Kingdom's Eliza Clark on board as […]

Ava DuVernay wasn't kidding when she announced last week that her upcoming series adaptation of DC Comics comic book DMZ had officially started production – and the award-winning writer-director-producer isn't wasting any time going all-in on filming. Directing the pilot for HBO Max from a Roberto Patino (Westworld) screenplay and with Matthew Lloyd (Daredevil) serving […]

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 – […]

Ava DuVernay's 2020 (and beyond) is going to start getting pretty "super" pretty quickly, with the critically-acclaimed and award-winning director heading behind the camera for a film adaptation of Jack Kirby's New Gods. 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 […]

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" […]

Even four months on, fans are still buzzing over the news that Netflix ordered an 11-episode series for The Sandman, based on Neil Gaiman's DC Comics-Vertigo comic book series Sandman and stemming from the Warner Bros. Television Group. Then earlier this month, Gaiman revealed to Radio Times that work was already underway on a second […]

I heard that there was a bit of a wake held for Vertigo Comics at New York Comic-Con the other night. Creators, editors, alike, assembling to share memories and war wounds in the light of DC Comics President Pamela Lifford to shutter the imprint earlier this year, first reported on Bleeding Cool. Much was drunk, […]

Ava DuVernay is having a pretty good run of things creatively as of late, including her critically-acclaimed Netflix limited series When They See Us scoring big at this year's Emmy Awards and an upcoming directorial turn that puts her at the helm of an adaptation of Jack Kirby's New Gods. Now it looks like DuVernay […]

Chas Truog, artist on one of the most seminal superhero comic books published by DC Comics in the eighties, Animal Man, with Grant Morrison has been revealing pages from an issue that… wasn't. Writing to Facebook, he tells us about – and shows us – Animal Man: The Lost Issue, dubbedDominion". Page one – I […]

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. In fact, some characters cried a little too much – making my skin crawl just a smidge and wishing for her immediate death. I guess I was wrong, and Martin (Bill Wise) really is […]

While fans of Netflix's Lucifer are still bracing for their final run with Tom Ellis' devilish lead, the streamer is doing what it can to extend that final run. The streamer announced on Friday that the series' fifth season will go from 10 to 16 episodes – which means the creative team will have six […]

Approaching the end of The CW's iZombie, this week's episode "Killer Queen" was subdued yet eventful, probably the best way I can describe it.  Although a lot happened, the "WOW" factor was missing.  It played out as if you got some spaghetti sauce on your white shirt but had a pen stain remover handy "no […]

We told you this year's Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC) was pretty much going to be setting up shop on the "Television" side of the pop culture landscape, and HBO is looking to keep it that way. While Damon Lindelof's "remix" of Alan Moore and David Gibbons celebrated comic books series Watchmen doesn't have an official […]

In this week's episode of The CW's iZombie, Liv (Rose McIver) goes drag queen and looks fabulous, while Major (Robert Buckley) and Ravi (Rahul Kohli) get "weird"? Clearly Ravi and Liv make it out unscathed from Martin's (Bill Wise) basement. I can't even fathom how Liv will address the imprisoned zombies in her dad's basement. […]

August is usually a dead zone when it comes to interesting projects but there are several movies coming out that look like they could be a lot of fun. The Kitchen is one of those project. A movie based off of a Vertigo comic this is one of those movies that no one was really […]

This week's episode of The CW's iZombie "Night and the Zombie City" was very much reminiscent of the first season where we got a to follow the plot of a good old-fashioned murder and watch Liv (Rose McIver), Ravi (Rahul Kohli) and Clive (Malcolm Goodwin) work it from start to finish. While investigating the death […]

With the fifth and final season of The CW's iZombie raging towards its brain-blasting series finale (we're concerned about your well-being, New Seattle), Liv (Rose McIver) takes a break from what might turn out to be tragically-destined father/daughter bonding time with Martin (Bill Wise) to enjoy a little "gumshoe gumbo." That's right, Liv's going all […]
