Nicolas Winding Refn hadn’t directed a film since The Neon Demon until this year, when he premiered his sci-fi thriller Her Private Hell at Cannes. Now, Deadline reports he’s taking on a remake of the 1988 cult horror film Maniac Cop, which is a significant change of pace for the director.
Considering how popular both The Boys and Invincible are, and the fact that both Homelander and Omni-Man are dark twists on the Superman archetype, it’s natural to wonder about a potential crossover. While a TV show crossover is unlikely now that The Boys has finished, many fans may not realize the comics actually had a very subtle connection. A special variant cover for The Boys #18 featured a bloodied hand, which co-creator Darick Robertson later confirmed belonged to Invincible. The comic depicted The Boys killing Invincible, but raises the question of whether that’s how things would really play out.
The comic Swamp Thing #37 (1982) is widely known as the first appearance of John Constantine, though there’s some discussion about whether it’s truly his debut. Regardless, this issue marks the first time readers meet him as a character, and it’s a fantastic introduction. Recently, ComicBook acquired a highly-rated 9.6 copy of this iconic comic from Rick’s Comic City in Clarksville, Tennessee – a store famous for its huge selection of both current and older comics. We were fortunate enough to obtain this piece of comic book history from them, and now, thanks to our new Vending Machine, you have a chance to own it too! You can watch ComicBook’s Chris Killian purchasing the comic in the video below.

Even great movies don’t always become widely remembered classics. Throughout film history, many fantastic fantasy movies haven’t received the recognition they deserve. While some have gained dedicated fans or were praised by critics when they were released, they’ve largely been forgotten despite being truly exceptional.

Recent leaked footage shared by ComicBookMovie.com reveals a clearer look at a villain previously seen in trailers. The footage suggests this new female character is leading the Hand, the group attacking Spider-Man.
Okay, some of the recent Star Wars stuff really did deserve the backlash – I’ll admit that. Palpatine coming back was just… weird and didn’t make much sense, and The Rise of Skywalker really should have been called out for it. But honestly, there was one live-action show that came out about four years ago that I think people were way too hard on, and it still gets more negativity than it deserves, even now.
Let’s explore the original lineup of Alpha Flight – the first ten members – and rank them based on how powerful they are.
Good news for fans: characters from older Marvel TV shows are gradually returning to the main Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). We saw this happen with Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Wilson Fisk in Hawkeye, suggesting the MCU wasn’t finished with those shows’ characters. Now, the Daredevil: Born Again series has brought back even more familiar faces, including Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, The Punisher, Karen Page, and Bullseye. Despite these returns, there are still several key characters yet to reappear.
