On October 2, 1950, Charles Schulz announced his first peanut comic strip. Could there be a more perfect opening? The timing of the four panels (3 panel buildup and final panel payoff) is essentially comic. For the next nearly 50 years, peanuts became a beloved institution, and the same hilariousness juxtaposed with cruel reality unfolds in countless ways. No artist ever surpassed Charles Schultz by refusing what everyone wanted. Charlie Brown never kicked football. We have never seen a little red-haired girl. Schultz was interested in eternal struggles, not shining victory. I have seen this comic strip hundreds of times…

Crypto and David Corenswett’s Superman from James Gunn. – Warner Bros. Pictures It’s been a while since James Gunn and Peter Saffron unveiled the first DC studio slate for “God and the Monster,” and a lot has changed in the meantime. Superman was out and was successful enough for Warner Bros. to greenlight the sequel. Peacemaker concludes its second season and is about to introduce DC’s multiverse in a very specific and limited way. And we don’t take a year from the second Supergirl feature film ever. Tracking over dozens of movies and television projects is not easy. The announcement…
Horror recommendations are essentially a horror exchange. I want someone to be very scared or uneasy about fiction and to share my screams with someone else. By doing so, there is always a chance that one of the movies and books you recommend will turn a curious passerby into a lifelong horror hound. For example, George Romero’s films have that effect. Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead is a very good piece of horror, and they become dambusters for those who want to dive deep into the genre and its most well-known Otel. You’ll want to…

Javier Perez: I’m talking to Tom King here. I will be at LACC on the last day. How are you? Tom King:…

Afterlife with Archie, a zombie horror series that put “Archie Horror” on the map 10 years ago, comes to Disney+ from showrunner Roberto Aguirre Sacasa and executive producer Greg Berlanti. The duo, who served as showrunner and producer at Riverdale and served as Sabrina’s sober adventure, gained a commitment to the series from the show’s script.

Ask dozens of comic experts to their favorite creators and most, if not all of that dozen, are going to list Alan Moore among their favorites. Creator creator Moore is often believed to be one of the best things to write in media, and now some of his earliest works have been collected for the first time. Moore’s 2000 ad stories are collected by the publisher on a new hardcover omnibus. This is a series that presents almost all of the author’s works published in iconic British magazines. It also includes the story of the “lost” Moore, which has not…
