On March 31, 1987, the TV show Moonlighting aired “I Am Curious… Maddie,” which was the second-to-last episode of its third season. After nearly three seasons of David and Maddie hinting at a romantic connection and playfully arguing, they finally became intimate. While fans had been eager to see them together, many believe this moment ultimately harmed the show’s quality.
Robert Kirkman, co-creator of Invincible, recently told Collider that another special like 2023’s Invincible Presents: Atom Eve is unlikely. Although there’s interest in creating more specials, the team is currently fully focused on producing the main Invincible series annually and doesn’t have the time or opportunity to work on them.

The 1990s weren’t just a great time for movies, TV, and video games – books, especially science fiction, were also fantastic. Though sci-fi is popular again today, the 1990s still deserve recognition as a golden age for the genre. Here are five classic sci-fi books from that decade that everyone should experience.
For a while, Fergus’s background wasn’t a big focus, and it didn’t seem important to learn more about it. He always considered the Frasers his only family, and that was enough. However, the latest episode revealed his real parentage, and while it might not seem like a huge deal, it actually complicates things. Discovering that he’s the biological son of Comte St. Germain, a prominent figure in France, could have major consequences.
I often talk about how much I enjoy DC Comics, and April looks like a particularly great month for them! They’re even releasing a special issue of MAD Magazine dedicated to DC – I was surprised MAD was still being published, but it’s fun to see them playfully poke fun at DC. Plus, several new titles are launching as part of the DC Next Level program, including the highly awaited Zatanna series. There’s a lot coming out, so keep reading to find out which books you absolutely shouldn’t miss!
Robert Patrick became a major star thanks to his memorable roles in 1990s films. He first gained attention as a villain in Die Hard 2, battling Bruce Willis’ character. He then achieved international fame playing the unstoppable T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). This role as a futuristic killer robot truly made him a pop-culture icon, leading to fun cameos as the same character in films like Wayne’s World and Last Action Hero. While he took on supporting roles in successful movies like Rosewood and Cop Land (both 1997), many consider his next truly iconic role to have come in 1999, in Robert Rodriguez’s horror film The Faculty.
Insider Gaming is reporting that Crystal Dynamics is developing the game with help from other studios. They also state the project has secured $100 million in funding from the Abu Dhabi Investment Office.
I was so excited to hear the news this week! Clear River Games announced they’re making a new Truxton game called Truxton Extreme! For those who don’t know, Truxton is a classic vertical-scrolling shooter that first hit arcades in Japan way back in 1988. It was ported to the Sega Genesis in 1989, and that was the only time it ever came to a home console. There was a sequel, Truxton 2, in arcades in 1992, but it never made it home. The series has been quiet ever since… until now! I can’t wait to play it!
As a big fan of Legacy of Kain, I was really intrigued by Ascendance. It’s basically a fresh take on the series’ backstory, and it’s cool how they went with a retro, *Castlevaniastyle side-scroller instead of the 3D adventures we were used to. Honestly, the art and music are fantastic and really capture the atmosphere. But, unfortunately, some core issues with how the game plays hold it back from being truly great. It feels like it had so much potential, but just couldn’t quite reach it.
