In Stuart Saves the Universe, we follow Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman), the comic book shop owner, as he accidentally triggers a multiversal crisis. He broke a device created by Sheldon and Leonard, and now it’s up to him to fix reality! The new show brings back familiar faces from The Big Bang Theory, like Bert Kibbler (Brian Posehn), Denise (Lauren Lapkus), and Barry Kripke (John Ross Bowie), to help (or maybe hinder) his efforts. The first trailer shows a humorous look at the sci-fi chaos – you can watch it below.

Hiro Mashima, the creator of Fairy Tail, is starting a new Fairy Tail manga series in Weekly Shonen Magazine. It was originally scheduled to begin in August, but Mashima has finished his work ahead of schedule! Now, the new manga will launch on July 29th – a full week earlier than expected. Be sure to look out for it!

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has occasionally pushed boundaries with intense scenes, leading to a few projects considered too intense for younger viewers. So far, only a small number of MCU films and shows have received an R-rating, and the graphic content justifies that decision. Here’s a ranking of every R-rated MCU project, from least to most impressive.

After the premiere of The Punisher: One Last Kill on Disney+, a clip of a visual effects shot began circulating online. The scene shows Frank Castle falling onto a rooftop, and it’s obvious a CGI double was used for the impact. This looked noticeably different from the rest of the show’s realistic action sequences. Many viewers compared the CGI negatively to graphics from the PlayStation 3 and 4, with some pointing out the character resembled Joel from The Last of Us. Here’s a look at some of the reactions people have been sharing.

I heard about a really strange movie pairing happening in Tokyo on June 7th! They’re showing Sharknado 6: The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time alongside the anime film King of Prism: Your Endless Call. It’s funny because these two movies couldn’t be more different – Sharknado is all about, well, sharks, and King of Prism focuses on ice-skating idols. There’s absolutely no overlap! Apparently, it’s happening at the Ikebukuro Humax Cinema thanks to a film distributor who loves shark movies and writes about them. They actually think both films are similar, claiming they both offer a kind of “brain relaxation through over-the-top entertainment.” It’s a pretty wild pairing, and you can find more details if you’re curious.

This single issue, created by Charles Soule and Kev Walker, reveals the backstory of the new villain, Torment, and brings the story to a satisfying conclusion. I expected a fairly average ending, but was pleasantly surprised by this excellent, villain-focused issue that felt like the perfect way to wrap things up.

Mariko Tamaki’s writing and Amancay Nahuelpan’s art come together in Barbara Gordon: Breakout #1 to show that Barbara Gordon didn’t accidentally get captured – she intentionally allowed it to happen. This is because the villain, Savage, is using his Supermax prison not to hold criminals, but to control his personal enemies. Although this first issue focuses on setting up the story and Barbara’s risky mission, it’s a compelling read with all the elements of a strong prison thriller.

Following a lengthy legal dispute between the publisher and developer, Subnautica 2 is now available for players to try in Early Access. The length of Early Access varies from game to game – it could last a year or more, or just a few months as developers polish the final product. Many popular and critically acclaimed games, including some Game of the Year nominees, have successfully used Early Access to improve their games before the official release.

Between late May and the end of August, several highly anticipated movies are scheduled for release, and many could be among the biggest hits of 2026. These films range from the return of beloved franchises to fresh, exciting new stories. With a strong lineup across various genres, the summer of 2026 is shaping up to be a fantastic time for big-budget moviegoers.

Matt Braly recently announced some exciting news about his previously canceled film, Afterworld. A Thai animation studio, The MONK Studios, based in Bangkok, has picked up the project. While the film isn’t currently funded or in production, The MONK Studios will be at the Annecy animation festival seeking partners and investors. Braly credits the renewed interest in Afterworld to the strong public support it received earlier this year, which has already generated a lot of buzz.
