This upcoming month is significant as well, boasting two highly-anticipated originals on Peacock. The second season of “Poker Face” will conclude in July, and the final episode of the critically acclaimed series co-created by Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne will air on July 10th.
Although a number of well-known characters from comic book universes other than Marvel and DC have encountered the Yautja hunters, such as Judge Dredd, Tarzan, and even Archie, it’s the heroes of these two major publishers who tend to draw the most attention.
From my perspective as a supporter, Gunn’s statement about the Justice League forming at some point in the DC Universe seems indicative of his plans. However, delving into the formation of the Justice League is far from simple given DC’s recent cinematic history. The legacy of the initial cinematic Justice League movie, which ultimately became Zack Snyder’s Justice League, or the Snyder Cut, poses a significant challenge for any attempt to work with the Justice League at all within the DCU. In essence, the story behind the Snyder Cut and its associated elements make it prudent for Gunn to initiate the DCU without an established Justice League as the team’s history and connected events make the immediate formation of the Justice League a complex endeavor.
In the process of creating this film, I drew inspiration from a multitude of comic books, TV series, and films. I am a fan of Smallville, where LutherCorp is featured, hence its inclusion. However, it’s unusual for corporations to be named after their founders’ first names, which added an element of authenticity in my mind. Furthermore, the name allows room for speculation: Was his father, in any way, connected to this corporation? Or his mother?
For novices unfamiliar with the intricate workings of the popular video game series, Bottle Caps are utilized for a unique feature known as Hyper Training. Introduced during the games Sun and Moon, this system enables trainers to enhance the IVs, or stats, of their Pokemon squad members without requiring breeding. The introduction of a stat-boosting aspect in Pokemon Go is revolutionary, potentially solving issues related to accessibility in competitive battling, where Hundos are predominantly acquired by those living in densely populated regions who can efficiently participate in Raids and releases as large groups.

In the initial series of the “Harry Potter” TV adaptation, the narrative will primarily revolve around reacquainting audiences with the magical realm and its diverse denizens. Harry’s journey commences as he navigates his entrance into Hogwarts, striving to adjust to an environment that encourages him to embrace his talents.

Indeed, it’s true! The satirical comedy “The Comeback” is set to return after a hiatus! HBO has confirmed that the series, co-created by the famous actor from “Friends,” Lisa Kudrow, will have a third season coming out next year on both HBO and HBO Max. In this new season, Kudrow reprises her role as Valerie Cherish, a former sitcom star who tries her luck in show business again through a reality show called “The Comeback.” Although the release method might be unusual, it seems fitting that Valerie Cherish returns for another round following another decade-long pause.
In the latest era of DC Comics, several original characters were introduced, such as Sideways, Damage, Brimstone, Silencer, a fresh Firebrand, and a revamped Challengers of the Unknown team. However, we’ll concentrate on these unique characters, as legacy characters warrant separate consideration. To clarify, four new heroes debuted, but four that didn’t seem to make a lasting impact. Some might attribute this to their close resemblance to Marvel Comics characters, which arguably set them up for failure from the start. This new crop of heroes was intended to fill gaps perceived by DC executives within the DC Universe. Regrettably, they may have been overly eager in filling these gaps with characters that looked too much like Marvel counterparts. Sideways seems to fit a conspicuously large hole left by Brian Michael Bendis’s Ultimate Spider-Man, Damage resembles a budget version of the Hulk, Brimstone echoes older Ghost Rider stories, and Silencer is almost a more morally flexible Black Widow. However, upon closer inspection, these characters prove to be quite intriguing beyond their apparent design influences.

The one-shot will grace the pages of issue #32, set to be released on July 7, 2025.
