One of the highlights of the comic MAD About DC #1 is a parody called “Absolute Cash-In” by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo, which directly spoofs DC’s Absolute series. The story begins with a man rising from a pool of red liquid, describing the agonizing pain of being reborn. The source of his pain isn’t what you’d expect, though – he’s been bathing in sriracha! This man harbors a deep hatred for all sauces, stemming from a tragic past where his parents were killed in an accident involving a sauce truck. However, by completing this fiery bath, he’s finally confronted and overcome his fears.

Lots of fantastic sci-fi TV shows are out there, but finding them for free can be tough. Luckily, Tubi US currently offers a surprisingly good selection of sci-fi shows, all available to watch without a subscription. For sci-fi fans wanting something new to binge, that’s hard to beat in today’s streaming world.

Many readers are overlooking some fantastic Justice League comics that they would likely love. There are plenty of stories that don’t require extensive knowledge of the team, making them perfect for newcomers. These ten stories are epic and enjoyable for anyone who appreciates superheroes, even if they aren’t already fans.

Andy Serkis, known for playing Captain Haddock in The Adventures of Tintin, recently told Collider he’d love to return for a sequel. “I really hope so,” he said, adding that he enjoyed making the first film with a talented team and that director Peter Jackson is keen on making another one, potentially in the future.

From April 4th to April 11th, Pokemon TCG Pocket is holding a Community Week event focused on encouraging players to connect with each other. The event includes missions and rewards for using the game’s social features, like trading and sharing cards. While many players will likely appreciate the push to interact, some aren’t thrilled with the game encouraging these activities.

The recently discovered symbols sparked conversations about the possibility of a PC game launcher, hinting at features like being able to purchase a game once and play it on both PlayStation and PC, or direct support for PC gaming on the PS5.

Because good anime game adaptations are rare, I usually avoid imagining what they could be like. It’s frustrating that even popular series often don’t get games – we’re still waiting for a new Fullmetal Alchemist game, for example! But I was genuinely surprised and excited to learn that Patlabor, a fantastic but often overlooked anime, is finally getting a video game adaptation. It feels like this could be the first time in a long while!

The book simply states Harry Potter didn’t understand Dumbledore, then quickly moves on, leaving readers confused. This moment has bothered fans for years, and a recent discussion on Reddit has reignited the debate about its meaning. Throughout the Harry Potter series, the author often leaves certain things unexplained. However, J.K. Rowling has actually already revealed the answer to this mystery, and explained why she chose not to directly state it in the books.

I was already hooked after the first Super Mario Bros. Movie with Peaches, Bowser, and Donkey Kong, but the sequel is really throwing down the gauntlet for Nintendo fans like me! This time around, Mario and Luigi team up with Fox McCloud, Yoshi, and even Rosalina – and get this, R.O.B. is in the mix too! Honestly, seeing all these characters together has me convinced: they’re building towards a full-blown Super Smash Bros. crossover movie, and I am so ready for it!

I just finished watching The Shallows, and it was a really gripping thriller! It’s from 2016, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, and stars Blake Lively as a medical student who gets stranded way out at sea after a shark attack while surfing in Mexico. Seriously, she’s stuck on this tiny rock with the tide coming in, and it’s all about her trying to survive using her smarts and determination. It became available on Prime Video on March 1st, and it’s actually pretty well-regarded – Rotten Tomatoes gives it a “Certified Fresh” rating of 79% and lists it as one of the best shark movies ever made – though Jaws still holds the top spot, naturally.
