The Alex Rider YA literary franchise is about to step into the realm of television. Back in July 2018, U.K.-based indie company Eleventh Hour Films received a major boost to its spec project from Sony Pictures Television, having landed the rights to bring British author (and creator of TV series Foyle’s War,) Anthony Horowitz’s Alex
I feel like everyone has a Jack Kirby. Every artist working at a consistent, Big 2-level in comics, when asked to contribute something that looks like Jack Kirby art, can submit a piece that looks similar to what the King did, even if only two or three people can make something that could plausibly pass

This Mr. Robot review contains spoilers. Mr. Robot Season 4 Episode 4 Happy holidays from Mr. Robot, which seems as unconcerned as ever with actually wrapping up any aspect of its final season’s story. In place of the answers—or at the very least, minimal forward plot progression—we likely expected here, “Not Found” instead offers us a
This article contains Watchmen episode 2 spoilers. HBO’s Watchmen episode 2 continues the pattern of the first episode, not only reminding audiences of its ties to the comics, but also offering echoes of the original story in unexpected places. And just as we did with episode one, we’re here to track down all of the
Ubisoft has confirmed that they are working on a new PvE shooter based on the Rainbow Six series called Rainbow Six Quarantine. Before you start thinking that Ubisoft would go and do something like replace Rainbow Six Siege despite their promises to continue to support the game, it doesn’t appear that’s the case. What little
Impulse snuck up on us as science fiction fans running a podcast. Having aired on YouTube’s premium service, it wasn’t until the entire first season of this series was made available for free that it drew our attention, especially since the fact that it was loosely based on the Stephen Gould Jumper novels wasn’t necessarily
Klaus Janson is a legend in comics. He’s so big that he’s best known for seven different things – he’s the guy who co-created Micro in The Punisher; or the one who drew “Gothic,” one of Grant Morrison’s first and moodiest Batman stories; or the comics storytelling professor at SVA; or the guy who finished
The next game in Ubisoft’s hacking-focused open-world series is called Watch Dogs Legion, Ubisoft confirmed ahead of E3 2019. Watch Dogs Legion will be set in a dystopian “post-Brexit” version of London. “Watch Dogs Legion is set in a near-future, dystopian version of London,” reads the game’s leaked description. “It’s a post-Brexit world in which society, politics, and
When See arrives on November 1, 2019 as one of Apple’s first offerings on its new streaming service, fans may expect star Jason Momoa to deliver the same type of strong and swarthy performance he’s known for from his roles in Game of Thrones and Aquaman, but they will be pleased to find that the
As a concept, the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise is something I both love and hate at the same time. On one hand, it’s a killer idea with a charismatic villain, awesome set pieces, dark humor, and over-the-top violence. On the other hand, it’s a completely broken idea. The fact that it’s a franchise makes it
Kamala Khan, also known as Ms. Marvel, will be a playable character in the upcoming Marvel’s Avengers from Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montréal,sandr and Square Enix. This news was originally announced at New York Comic-Con, where a trailer revealed the character and Sandra Saad was confirmed to be playing the role. The super-stretchy teenage superhero Ms. Marvel
This Power Rangers Beast Morphers review contains spoilers. Power Rangers Beast Morphers Episode 15 After watching Power Rangers for over twenty-five years, the series can rarely surprise you.

Ask most film fans to name a prominent Japanese horror, and one of those titles would probably come up.

This Van Helsing review contains spoilers. Van Helsing Season 4 Episode 5 “I don’t kill hope before it’s dead.” There have been numerous twists and turns in the Van Helsing, post-Rising apocalyptic saga, and while some clearly foreshadow later events, others appear quite unexpectedly. “Liberty or Death” takes us deep into Blak Tek’s sordid past
Halloween isn’t just for monsters anymore. For every Frankenstein Monster that comes to your door, there are probably sixteen Iron Men and a few Rocket Raccoons. It seems that Marvel (and DC) heroes have infringed on the monstrous monopoly of Halloween, but that’s OK, because to even things out, the Marvel Universe has its fair
I am Iron Man… for 10 minutes or so. After watching Robert Downey Jr. swoop around the big screen for over a decade, who wouldn’t want to step into the iconic red and gold armor to take flight in Iron Man VR? When the upcoming experience was being demoed on the show floor at EGX
“Nothing seems to bother my kids but tonight’s show, which I totally wash my hands of, is really scary.” For anyone who grew up watching The Simpsons, the Treehouse Of Horror Halloween specials are an annual horror staple, from spooky couch gag to horror-themed credits. You can learn an awful lot of things just from watching the show,
Mary Shelley‘s gothic novel Frankenstein is a story constantly being retold — but almost never has it been retold faithfully. In 2015, we got Victor Frankenstein, the latest in screen adaptations bearing the Frankenstein name, but having little to do with the original text. This habit of less-than-faithful adaptations of Shelley’s work goes back a long time. The history
When it was announced that The Outer Worlds would let you assemble a squad of companions, few people knew exactly what to make of that information. After all, the popular narrative surrounding The Outer Worlds concerned its status as the spiritual sequel to Fallout: New Vegas. While there were companions in Fallout: New Vegas, their
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is going to live well into its teens. In 2016, FXX renewed its underdog sitcom for two more seasons including It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 14. That is almost an incomprehensibly long time for a show that began with three friends, a video camera, and some pocket change. But hey – quality
This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Ah, the ’80s. The decade of video nasties, The A-Team, Boy George, and Ronald Reagan. A time of conspicuous consumption and voluminous hair, the ’80s were also the decade when video games rapidly evolved, from the blocky 8-bit computers and consoles at its beginning to the more powerful
At 23 seasons old, Comedy Central’s animated classic South Park is already old enough to drive, vote, and drink. The only relevant benchmark left is its 25th birthday and the ability to rent a car. Back in 2015, Comedy Central renewed South Park through 2019. The end of that deal arrives with South Park Season
This article comes from Den of Geek UK. It may have only been six years ago, but it feels long ago. Pokemon X and Y were the first installments in the RPG franchise to launch on the 3DS, with Nintendo’s 3D-enabled handheld console having arrived on the market in 2011. The handheld’s ability to flick
This Nancy Drew review contains spoilers. Nancy Drew Episode 3 Even storms can apparently have a life of their own on Nancy Drew. As seems to be par for the course in Horseshoe Bay, pretty much any regular everyday event can somehow be tied to the supernatural, and thus is the case for an impending Nor’easter
Afterlife with Archie quickly went from high-concept gimmick to the most consistently entertaining comic on the market today. If we wanted to become overcome by hyperbole, we might have the cojones to say that the pairing of writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (whose success with the title resulted in him being named Archie’s Chief Creative Officer) and artist Francesco Francavilla is the
We’ve stopped laughing long enough to bring you news that Bethesda is now offering a monthly (or yearly) subscription plan for Fallout 76.

The following contains spoilers for Mr. Robot season 4. Angela Moss has always been one of Mr. Robot’s most fascinating characters. Granted, she doesn’t have multiple personalities, isn’t a world-class computer expert, and makes more than her fair share of mistakes. She’s perhaps the most normal person on the show and probably the one most viewers relate
