When Warner Bros. announced The LEGO Movie, many people doubted it would succeed. LEGO bricks are known for inspiring imagination – kids build whatever they dream up – so a fixed storyline seemed to go against the brand’s spirit. However, when the movie came out on February 7, 2014, it was a huge hit with both critics and audiences, earning over $470 million worldwide. Its success came from a clever, self-aware story and a groundbreaking animation style that brought the unique look of LEGOs to life.

I’m finally going to finish playing SOMA this weekend. I don’t know how I missed it before, but it seems like exactly the kind of game I enjoy, so I’m glad I’m getting around to it now!

The fifth episode of Starfleet Academy is a loving tribute to the character of Benjamin Sisko. The episode follows SAM, a new cadet, as she tries to learn about humans by investigating a long-standing mystery: What happened to Sisko at the end of Deep Space Nine? Did he die, or did he join the Prophets outside of normal time? While searching for answers, SAM unexpectedly discovers a solution to a debate that Star Trek fans have been having for years.

After Akira Toriyama’s passing in 2024, the Dragon Ball Super manga is currently paused with no set return date. Fans hope Toyotaro will continue the series, but there hasn’t been an official announcement. The manga currently consists of eight major story arcs, all filled with action and excitement. While none of the arcs are weak, some are definitely more engaging than others.

Okay, if you haven’t been reading the current Batman comic by Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez – seriously, you’re missing out, it’s fantastic – there’s this really interesting story unfolding. They introduced a new character, Dr. Annika Zeller, who works at Arkham Towers. But she’s quickly become central to everything, because of this amazing new psychiatric treatment she developed called the Crown of Storms. It’s powerful stuff, and it’s made her a target for some seriously dangerous people. We’re even seeing one of Batman’s classic enemies experiencing the effects of the Crown, and it feels like things are about to change in a big way.

Getting the actors right for the upcoming Mistborn adaptation is crucial. Luckily, Brandon Sanderson is involved creatively, so it’s likely fans will be pleased. While using lesser-known actors could be a good choice, here’s my dream cast with established stars.

According to Variety, the movie Practical Magic will now be released on September 11, 2026. This change impacts the DC Universe schedule, as Practical Magic is taking the place of the previously planned Clayface movie. Clayface was originally set to come out on September 11th, but it’s now being moved to October 23rd. While a release date change is usually unwelcome, the new October date is actually a better fit for the Clayface film than its original September premiere.

February is shaping up to be another difficult month for new manga series. It looks like Shonen Jump+ is ending The Bateren Tales by Yu Miki, a promising but lesser-known series that began in October and has released 11 chapters. The author announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the manga will pause before starting its final story arc.

Okay, so remember Bomberman? It was huge back in the 90s, but hasn’t really made a splash lately. Well, Konami just dropped a perfect collection for us nostalgic fans!

It includes Super Bomberman through Super Bomberman 5, plus the original NES Bomberman and Bomberman II. Basically, it’s got all the classics!
