Amazon Games recently cancelled its long-in-development Lord of the Rings MMO. Though disappointing for the team who worked on it, it’s likely a good thing the game won’t be released. The next Lord of the Rings game appears to be a different type of RPG, which is probably a better fit for what gamers are looking for right now.
I’ve been really enjoying Apple TV+, and I’m always a little frustrated when great shows don’t get the attention they deserve. There are already a few hidden gems like Dickinson and The Crowded Room, but I just finished watching the first season of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and it’s absolutely fantastic – it definitely deserves to be talked about more! It’s quickly become one of my favorites.
Considering how popular both The Boys and Invincible are, and the fact that both Homelander and Omni-Man are dark twists on the Superman archetype, it’s natural to wonder about a potential crossover. While a TV show crossover is unlikely now that The Boys has finished, many fans may not realize the comics actually had a very subtle connection. A special variant cover for The Boys #18 featured a bloodied hand, which co-creator Darick Robertson later confirmed belonged to Invincible. The comic depicted The Boys killing Invincible, but raises the question of whether that’s how things would really play out.
Nicolas Winding Refn hadn’t directed a film since The Neon Demon until this year, when he premiered his sci-fi thriller Her Private Hell at Cannes. Now, Deadline reports he’s taking on a remake of the 1988 cult horror film Maniac Cop, which is a significant change of pace for the director.
Mamoru Hosoda’s latest film, Scarlet, was released last year but has only been available for streaming outside of the US until now.

The comic Swamp Thing #37 (1982) is widely known as the first appearance of John Constantine, though there’s some discussion about whether it’s truly his debut. Regardless, this issue marks the first time readers meet him as a character, and it’s a fantastic introduction. Recently, ComicBook acquired a highly-rated 9.6 copy of this iconic comic from Rick’s Comic City in Clarksville, Tennessee – a store famous for its huge selection of both current and older comics. We were fortunate enough to obtain this piece of comic book history from them, and now, thanks to our new Vending Machine, you have a chance to own it too! You can watch ComicBook’s Chris Killian purchasing the comic in the video below.
Brandon Sanderson is working with Apple TV+ on adaptations of his popular novels, starting with Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive. Apple TV+ is known for producing fewer, but very high-quality shows. Importantly, they haven’t just acquired the rights to those two series—they now own the rights to all of Sanderson’s Cosmere books, meaning we could see even more adaptations in the future. Separately, Tomorrow Studios, the company behind Netflix’s live-action One Piece, has also acquired the rights to Sanderson’s young adult sci-fi novel, Skyward.
The actress from The Idea of You has said she hasn’t had any cosmetic surgery, but she’s open to the possibility of having procedures done later on.
Even great movies don’t always become widely remembered classics. Throughout film history, many fantastic fantasy movies haven’t received the recognition they deserve. While some have gained dedicated fans or were praised by critics when they were released, they’ve largely been forgotten despite being truly exceptional.
