As a film fan, I’ve noticed villains have really evolved, and honestly, that’s partly because filmmaking itself has gotten better. But the first time we saw these particular baddies, they were instantly iconic. They just had that special something, and they really raised the bar for every villain that followed. DC Comics absolutely knocked it out of the park with these ten – they created characters that set the template for pretty much any villain archetype you can imagine.

I don’t want to make anyone feel old, but that’s more than 18 years ago! My first trophy is old enough to vote now.

The new movie, Made in Abyss: Awakening Mystery, hits theaters on October 23rd, and a new trailer has just been released! The series follows young adventurers exploring a dangerous and mysterious place called “The Abyss,” where they face terrifying creatures and unsettling challenges. The original manga is still being created, so there’s potential for even more anime in the future. Awakening Mystery continues the story from previous films like Journey’s Dawn, Wandering Twilight, and Dawn of the Deep Soul, meaning fans can expect to see Riko and her friends back on screen for a while. Check out the new trailer below!

According to Circana, the best-selling video game in the US right now is Nintendo’s Tomodachi Life Living the Dream, which launched exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on April 16th. Interestingly, it hasn’t been released for the newer Nintendo console, despite the Switch being backward compatible. This is the third game in the Tomodachi series, which began with Tomodachi Collection on the Nintendo DS in 2009 and continued with Tomodachi Life on the 3DS in 2013. The first two games sold around 10 million copies, a strong performance, but Tomodachi Life Living the Dream seems to be exceeding expectations by currently leading monthly sales, even against more prominent titles.

The new series, Terminal, centers around a hidden conflict between two powerful groups with extraordinary abilities, where the distinction between right and wrong isn’t always clear. The story primarily follows Marilyn Howe as she searches for her sister, a quest that unexpectedly throws her into the middle of this secret war. The series suggests that saving the world will require unlocking the secrets within your own DNA, but at a great personal cost – and survival isn’t guaranteed. Recently, ComicBook spoke with the creators about their vision for the series, how much of the story is already mapped out, and the possibility of adapting it into other formats.

It looks like plans for Destiny 3 are on hold for now. According to sources who spoke with Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, the game isn’t currently in development. In addition, the studio is planning layoffs, though the exact number of affected employees isn’t clear.

After Superman, many heroes became instantly recognizable models for others – tough detectives and fighters inspired by Batman, or cosmic protectors following in Green Lantern’s footsteps. DC Comics itself has even created characters very similar to its own existing heroes. However, taking inspiration doesn’t mean a character can’t be fantastic. We’re highlighting seven of DC’s best heroes who started as copies, and ranking them based on how great they’ve become as unique characters.

Classic games are experiencing a revival with remakes and remasters, and Xbox Game Pass offers access to many older titles. However, some of the best original Xbox exclusives haven’t received the updated treatment they deserve after two decades. Here are five games that are ripe for a modern comeback, and the reasons why.

This is a major accomplishment! The game has officially become the third best-selling video game ever, only trailing behind Grand Theft Auto 5 (which has sold nearly 230 million copies). It’s particularly impressive because Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn’t received any significant updates or expansions lately.

Okay, so I’ve been looking into this Meowth card – it’s a full-art Illustration Rare from the Pokemon TCG: Mega Evolution – Phantasmal Flames set. That set came out back in November 2025, and it was the second one released for the Mega Evolution era. There are 130 cards total in Phantasmal Flames, with a few really rare Special Illustration Rares and one Mega Hyper Rare. A lot of those super rare cards are highly sought after by collectors, but recently, this Meowth Illustration Rare has just blown up in popularity. I was really curious why, so I started digging to figure out what’s going on.
