As a fan, I’ve been really impressed with how Valve has handled the whole AI thing – they’ve set pretty straightforward rules about when developers need to say they’re using AI, and they’ve actually enforced them! That’s why I was so interested to hear from a long-time Valve writer about how people inside the company are starting to see AI not as a threat, but as something that could actually help game development. It’s a really positive shift in perspective, and it’s cool to see Valve embracing the potential.

The Netflix series Santa Clarita Diet first appeared on February 3, 2017. Created by Victor Fresco, it starred Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant as a couple whose ordinary life is turned upside down when Sheila unexpectedly returns from the dead as a zombie with a craving for human flesh. The show also featured Liv Hewson as their daughter, Abby, and Skyler Gisondo as Eric, a neighbor who becomes a key confidant as the Hammond family keeps increasingly dangerous secrets. Though centered around a zombie storyline, Santa Clarita Diet was really about a marriage that became more open, passionate, and risky after Sheila’s death freed her from social constraints. The horror-comedy ran for three seasons of ten episodes each – the second season arrived on March 23, 2018, and the third on March 29, 2019. Unfortunately, Netflix canceled the show just a month after the third season was released, intentionally leaving some plot threads unfinished.

Jason David Frank, best known as a major advocate for Power Rangers, was also dedicated to his own film, Legend of the White Dragon, through Bat in the Sun. Fans have eagerly awaited its release, and Bat in the Sun has now announced it will be shown in select cinemas on August 28, 2026, giving fans the chance to see Frank’s special project come to life.

The movie Project Hail Mary continues to perform well at the box office. Experts at Deadline predict it will earn around $54.5 million in the US and Canada this weekend – a small drop from its impressive debut. This is a better opening weekend result than Oppenheimer, Dune: Part Two, and Sinners achieved. With a North American total of $164.3 million so far, Project Hail Mary is now Amazon MGM Studios’ most successful film, surpassing the previous record held by Creed III ($156.2 million).

There are so many memorable characters from Star Wars games – we could easily list them all day! Think of the members of Delta Squad from Star Wars: Republic Commando, or the funny and brutal droid HK-47 from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. But generally, the most impactful original characters are the main heroes and villains whose stories drive the games themselves.

Let’s look at the major battles Hulk has had in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He first fought Abomination in The Incredible Hulk, and later joined the Avengers, where he clashed with Thor on the Helicarrier and helped defeat Loki and the Chitauri. In Avengers: Age of Ultron, he battled Iron Man’s Hulbuster armor and then teamed up to destroy Ultron. Hulk fought Thor again in Thor: Ragnarok, and also faced Hela. He then fought Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, and finally transformed into Smart Hulk in Avengers: Endgame, effectively ending his run as the Savage Hulk.

Batman is known for winning his battles, largely because he’s a highly skilled fighter. However, even with his incredible abilities, he isn’t unbeatable. According to Detective Comics #1107, two fighters in Gotham City are capable of defeating him: Batgirl, Cassandra Cain, a long-time hero, and Black Canary, a new vigilante who also runs a gym. Both women have consistently demonstrated the skill to challenge Batman, and this recent issue definitively proves it.

Shuhei Tanizaki’s manga, Gonron Egg, began with a promising and original science-fiction fantasy world, but was unfortunately cancelled after 21 chapters. Unlike many cancelled manga that quickly wrap up their storylines, Gonron Egg ended on a cliffhanger, hinting at a larger conflict that will now remain unresolved.

For those who don’t know, Albert Wesker is a virologist who worked for the Umbrella Corporation and was determined to achieve their goals no matter the cost. With a new Resident Evil movie coming out on September 18, 2026, directed by Zack Cregger, it’s likely Wesker will appear in future films. However, when asked about potentially reprising the role, actor Andrew Starr seemed surprised. He told ComicBook he wasn’t sure why people were asking and joked that his only similarity to Wesker was his blonde hair, which he’s since dyed. He also pointed out he’s 50 years old, implying he’s too old for the part, despite Wesker being only 48 in the original story.
