The 2024 manga isn’t a new story or spin-off; it’s a retelling of the Amazing Digital Circus web series, created with the full involvement of the original creator, Gooseworx. Manga artist Sakura has brought a fresh visual style to the story. Currently published in Japan, the manga is adapting the events of the third episode of the YouTube series. Since The Amazing Digital Circus will only have nine episodes, the manga will have a defined ending, though more chapters are planned. Viz Media will release the English version on September 8th – you can see the cover below.

The anime series GATE stands out in the Isekai genre for its unique approach. It began with a war sparked by a fantasy world invading our own, and followed the Japanese military’s efforts to adapt and fight back. After a decade since the first season concluded, GATE is returning with a second season, GATE 2: Tides of Conflict, and promises a significantly different storyline. You can get a first look at the new season below.

Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again featured so many characters that important storylines were lost, particularly for the female characters. For example, Kirsten McDuffie was sidelined in the legal scenes and didn’t get enough screen time to truly react to Matt Murdock’s return or his double life. The return of Jessica Jones also felt underdeveloped, as she mostly appeared in action scenes and was used to simply explain what was happening in her life as a new mother. Even established characters like Karen Page were reduced to supporting roles; during her trial, the focus was on Matt’s conflict with Fisk, rather than her own experience. To ensure a strong narrative, Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 needs to fix this imbalance, especially with an expanding cast.

While not all villains require intricate motivations, a strong philosophy can elevate them to surprising heights. Compelling villainous beliefs add depth to a character, letting writers explore what truly drives them. Here are seven DC villains with particularly fascinating philosophies that make them stand out, even in a universe filled with evil.

Marvel and Lucasfilm have announced a new five-issue comic series called Star Wars: The Fall of Kylo Ren, which will finish the story of Kylo Ren. Written by Charles Soule with art by Will Sliney, the series promises to reveal the full story behind Kylo Ren’s actions and destiny. It will be released on August 12, 2026.

Sam Raimi, previously announced as a producer for the film Magic, will now also direct. Magic is based on William Goldman’s novel and tells the story of Corky, a magician who turns to ventriloquism. The original 1978 film starred Anthony Hopkins, who gave a memorable performance as Corky, a magician whose puppet seems to take control of his life, especially when he tries to reconnect with a former love. Magic received positive reviews, earning an 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

With the season finale of The Boys being a standard length, it’s going to be difficult to wrap up all the storylines properly. We’ll find out what happens to key characters like Homelander, Butcher, Hughie, and Starlight, but there likely won’t be enough time to fully explore the consequences of Homelander’s actions or give adequate closure to many supporting characters. Considering the cancellation of the Gen V spinoff, those characters probably won’t get satisfying endings either. Plus, even some of the main show’s supporting players might be left hanging. However, with Soldier Boy potentially still alive, Eric Kripke hinting at future appearances for the Gen V cast, and a promise from Stan Edgar, it seems The Boys is setting up potential sequels. Interestingly, the show may have already identified a replacement for Homelander – a result of Butcher’s single-minded determination to take down Antony Starr’s character, no matter the cost.

Director Guy Ritchie recently told Collider he’s eager to make a third film in the series. He expressed his fondness for working with Robert Downey Jr. and enjoyed making the first two movies. He believes the biggest hurdle is simply finding a time that works for everyone involved, but confirmed there’s mutual interest. He’s surprised a third film hasn’t been made yet, given the apparent demand from fans and the team’s enthusiasm.

The first in-person Go Fest event is happening in late May, but the main global event is still a few months away. It will take place on July 11th and 12th, 2026, and Niantic is planning a huge celebration with in-person meetups for fans. This year, all research and bonuses will be free for everyone, giving players plenty to do. A recently announced raid schedule promises to be the most active in Pokémon Go history.

We don’t expect that to change this month, as the games coming out in May 2026 are a mixed bag – some are excellent, while others are just okay and might be worth checking out.
