Image credit: IDW The IDW Saturday Morning Adventure concept is original. A modern cartoon based on the classic 80s cartoon with an original storyline, using the original style and tone of the show it’s based on.

Threads appears to be rolling out a new location tagging feature that allows users to add locations to their posts. Some users have reported seeing changes to the Threads app, but it doesn’t seem to be available to everyone yet.This feature is similar to Instagram’s location tags. If you give threads access to your location, you’ll see a list of nearby places to tag, but you can also search for places manually. For example, I’ve already seen some users jokingly tag their posts with “hell.”According to Meta’s in-app disclaimer, the company plans to use location sharing to better customize threads…
Archie Comics has announced an all-new special edition: The Archie Halloween Spectacular. This comic follows a new storyline involving Mother Striga, the new big bad of Sabrina’s world. The character debuted in the Sabrina Annual Spectacular, and although she functions as a standalone this time around, she follows a story that is part two of this Halloween Spectacular.
