This incredible manga series was largely unknown to international fans for nearly 20 years because it wasn’t available in English. Fortunately, Abrams ComicArts has announced that the first volume will be released in English on June 2nd, 2026. The publisher intends to release four volumes each year, meaning fans will be able to read the complete series relatively quickly.

The comic series Masters of the Universe: Wings of Fate connects to the new movie and features a story by Tim Sheridan, art by Will Sliney, colors by Israel Silva, and lettering by AndWorld Design. In an interview with ComicBook, Sheridan explained he quickly decided to focus the story on Orko. He reviewed the movie’s script and asked himself what unique angle the comic could explore. He realized fans would want to see more of the characters they loved, and he felt Orko offered a great opportunity for deeper exploration. Knowing it would be a surprising choice for readers, Sheridan committed to building the story around Orko to provide more detail and expand on the world established in the film.

Chris Sanders will direct the upcoming live-action sequel to Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Beyond directing, Sanders has a deep connection to the franchise – he voiced Stitch in both the original animated film and the new live-action version, co-wrote the sequel’s script, and was a key creative force behind the very first Lilo & Stitch movie as a co-creator, writer, and director. Filming is expected to begin later this year.

The three anime series known as the Big Three are all fantastic and have their own strengths. Fans constantly argue about which one is the best, and it’s hard to say for sure. But even if we could compare them fairly, it’s difficult to pick a winner because two of the series are still unfinished – though that will be resolved this summer.

Though they’ve only been around for just over a decade in DC Comics, the Court of Owls – who were introduced in Scott Snyder’s Batman run as part of the New 52 relaunch – have become a hugely popular part of the Dark Knight’s lore. They are, in fact, one of the most fondly remembered parts of the otherwise divisive New 52, and DC fans have long wanted to see them introduced to a live-action movie. Now, thanks to new rumors about Matt Reeves’ The Batman: Part II, we may finally be seeing that dream realized on the big screen for the first time. And frankly, it’s about damn time.

Although Season 5 of The Boys primarily wraps up the main storyline, it also dedicates significant time to setting up the upcoming Vought Rising spinoff focusing on Soldier Boy. This spinoff, starring Jensen Ackles, is expected to be popular, especially given its planned release next year and the actor’s memorable performance. The final episodes of The Boys heavily feature Stormfront and her connection to Soldier Boy, hinting at a major role for her in the prequel and strengthening a long-held fan theory about her origins. The season finale further supports this theory, making it even more likely to be true.
