Manga Vs. Comics: The State of The War in 2026

A recent statement by Jim Lee, President of DC Comics, sheds light on the ongoing discussion about competition in the entertainment world. While famous for his artwork on titles like X-Men, Batman, and Superman, Lee now oversees the company’s direction and recognizes the growing popularity of manga. Despite his clear preference for comics, Lee acknowledged that manga has a significant advantage. He explained that American comics heavily focus on superheroes, limiting their appeal, while manga is more like general literature, enjoyed by a wider audience. Manga covers diverse topics—from cooking to sports—offering a much broader range of stories compared to the superhero-dominated American comic book market.

Three Years Later, I Miss the Most Unique Battle Royale

I recall a unique battle royale game called Spellbreak that really stood out. Instead of guns, players fought using magic and powerful spells, offering a fresh take on the genre. This, along with other innovative changes, made it one of the most intriguing battle royales available. Although the game was successful, its developer, Proletariat Inc., surprisingly shut it down just three years after its release.

HBO Max Is About To Lose the Most Overlooked Family Movie of 2022

I’ve been so impressed with the family movies we’ve gotten lately – everything from Encanto to Puss in Boots: The Last Wish has been fantastic! But I truly fell in love with Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile last year. It’s a really sweet, charming musical based on the classic children’s book, and it tells the story of Lyle, a shy crocodile who sings and lives in New York City. He becomes friends with a new family and, through music, helps them find happiness and overcome their worries. It’s been available to stream on HBO Max since August, which has been wonderful, but sadly it’s leaving the platform on February 3rd, so if you haven’t seen it yet, you should definitely check it out before it’s gone!

Remembering Catherine O’Hara’s Most Beloved Roles (Besides Home Alone & Beetlejuice)

Catherine O’Hara had a remarkable talent for making even small characters memorable, like Texie Garcia in Dick Tracy and Gail in Martin Scorsese’s After Hours. She also consistently stood out in guest appearances on shows such as 30 Rock, Modern Family, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Beyond her iconic roles as Delia Deetz and Kevin McCallister’s mom, what were some of her other greatest performances? Let’s take a look at a few of them.

Recasting the 7 Original Avengers As Other Marvel Characters (Including Another Hero for Robert Downey Jr.)

With this year’s Avengers: Doomsday, Marvel is doing something unusual: bringing Robert Downey Jr. back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but as a completely new character – Victor von Doom. While there will likely be a story explanation for why the actor who played Iron Man is taking on a new role, it opens the door for other MCU actors to showcase their range and potentially play different characters in the future. Here’s a look at other Marvel characters the original Avengers cast members could convincingly portray, not to say the current actors aren’t well-suited, but that their colleagues could have easily filled those roles as well.

Marvel Studios Officially Addresses The Biggest Problem With Sam Wilson’s Captain America

I’m so excited to see Sam Wilson really step into his own as Captain America! He carried Captain America: Brave New World – his first time leading a solo Marvel movie – and he’s confirmed to be in both upcoming Avengers films, Doomsday and Secret Wars. But for a while, some fans have questioned if he truly earned the shield. Luckily, the MCU seems to be tackling that head-on with the first movie coming out in 2026 – I can’t wait to see how it plays out!
