Weekly Shonen Jump Will Debut Three New Series in June 2026

“Age of Apocalypse” remains a beloved story for many fans, and it’s remembered with a lot of nostalgia. Told across a large collection of issues – including several miniseries – it transported readers to a dramatically different Marvel Universe filled with chaos and loss, quickly becoming a fan favorite. While it’s often seen as a landmark achievement with some truly great moments, a more honest assessment reveals it’s a bit uneven overall. Over time, the story has gained a legendary reputation, but the reality is more complex. “Age of Apocalypse” is a product of its time – the 1990s X-Men era – and embodies both the best and worst aspects of that period.

Ignition Press is publishing Airwalker, a brand-new graphic novel based on an unreleased idea from the legendary Stan Lee. This project is a collaboration with Superhero Ventures. Writer Jeremy Haun (known for works like The Beauty and Murder Podcast) and artist Danny Luckert (Jumpscare, The Space Between) are working together to bring Lee’s vision to life, and we’re excited to share a first look, ahead of its debut at Comic-Con International later this year.

Nintendo has announced that Donkey Kong 64 is now available as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack library. The game will be accessible starting June 3rd in North America and June 4th in Japan and other regions. This marks the return of a beloved and classic collecting-focused platformer to Nintendo platforms after many years.

Luckily, there are plenty of compelling dystopian TV shows available to stream, and many of them are great choices to watch after finishing The Testaments. While none are quite the same – and we assume you’ve already watched The Handmaid’s Tale – several series explore similar themes of oppression, rebellion, and the desire for a brighter future. We’ve compiled a list of excellent shows, and even if they aren’t strictly dystopian, we think you’ll see why we especially recommend one of them.

With its bright animation and well-known actors, the new movie Swapped is already gaining a lot of buzz. While it initially seems to be performing better than KPop Demon Hunters, critics haven’t been as consistently positive. KPop Demon Hunters has impressive scores – 91% from critics and 99% from viewers – suggesting continued success. Swapped, on the other hand, has more varied reviews, with a 67% rating from critics and 88% from audiences.

You know, it’s amazing to me how far Harley Quinn has come. She started as just a sidekick in the Joker’s world, but she’s really broken out on her own. Now, she’s actually been central to some of the best DC storylines, and honestly, a lot of them don’t even involve the Joker anymore. It’s incredible to see her development as a character.

After watching the reaction to the racer’s PlayStation 5 trailer, I decided to look into it further.

Let’s look at some examples of movies that were initially met with skepticism but later became beloved classics, frequently rewatched and highly recommended. These films demonstrate the importance of giving projects time to prove themselves. While there’s always a risk of something failing, there’s an equal chance it could become a timeless favorite.
