We’re now in the second year of the Absolute Universe, and things are heating up with even bigger dangers ahead. The new series, Absolute Wonder Woman, recently introduced a team similar to the Suicide Squad, and characters like Poison Ivy and Black Adam will be appearing soon. However, the latest issue of the popular Absolute Martian Manhunter comic introduces a completely unexpected and potentially very cunning new villain – one that could be the most dangerous threat we’ve seen yet.

Honestly, as a fighting game fan, I’m a little worried about Injustice 3. It’s not the game itself, but what’s been happening at Warner Bros. and DC lately. They’re completely rebooting the DC universe with the new Superman movie coming in 2025, and that’s under new leadership with James Gunn running things. Plus, with Warner Bros. merging with Discovery and then Netflix, they’ve already cancelled a bunch of games they were working on. It just makes me wonder if Injustice 3 will really happen, or if it’ll get caught up in all the changes.

Steven Spielberg captivated audiences with classics like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Jurassic Park. But his 2005 film, War of the Worlds, based on the H.G. Wells novel, proved more controversial. The movie follows a divorced, working-class father struggling to keep his children safe during an alien invasion and get them back to their mother. Now, fans can watch War of the Worlds for free, as it’s been added to Tubi’s streaming library as of January 1st.

Released in 1994, Heretic was created by Raven Software using the same engine as Doom, but it pushed the first-person shooter genre forward. It was innovative for its time, introducing inventory management and allowing players to look up and down – features Doom lacked. The game takes place in a fantasy world where players battle undead creatures to close a gateway to Hell. While building upon Doom‘s foundation, Heretic offered improvements, and it proved popular enough to spawn sequels. However, it eventually became less well-known than Doom. In 2025, Bethesda brought it back into the spotlight with a re-release alongside Hexen, making it playable on today’s computers and including new content.

I’m so excited – there’s a giveaway happening right now where you can get Heavy Rain for free! If you haven’t played it, it’s an awesome action-adventure game originally made by the French studio Quantic Dream back in 2010, and it was a PlayStation 3 exclusive for a while. Later, in 2016, they released a remastered version for the PS4, and then in 2020 it finally came to PC, so more people could enjoy it!

Here are five great movies that deal with comic books without actually being a comic book movie.

If you’re not looking for something that makes you question life’s big mysteries while watching a futuristic city glow with lights, this might not be for you. It doesn’t offer easy answers or neat resolutions. Instead, it challenges you and makes you uncomfortable. If you want to be amazed and feel a little overwhelmed by the meaning of existence, cyberpunk anime is exactly what you need.

Reed Richards’ inventions are essential for the Fantastic Four and the wider Marvel Universe. He creates everything from tools for space and interdimensional travel to defenses against cosmic dangers. He’s motivated by a desire to build a better future for everyone, but his ambitious projects don’t always go as planned.

Netflix recently announced a new series coming from Taiwan called “Bloody Smart.” The show, which is based on a popular anime and has been in the works for three years, used a Kickstarter campaign to fund its special effects. Given how terrifying the creatures, like the Hanging Balloons, look in the series, that funding was clearly put to good use! Instead of adapting one specific story, “Bloody Smart” seems to be blending characters and tales from various works by the original creator into a single, new series. You can get a sneak peek at one of those spooky Hanging Balloons in action below.

Last year, after many years of being engaged, Moe’s fiancé Maya reappeared on The Simpsons in Season 37, explaining her long absence. However, fans noticed something strange: the Spanish dub of the episode, available on Disney+ internationally, completely cut out Maya’s return. It’s as if her appearance never happened in that version of the show, as pointed out by a user on X (@SimpsonDoblaje).
