Tenn. — An Atoka boy living with autism and ADHD hopes to be the next kid superhero in a new Stan Lee Universe comic book

Ben Affleck’s probably going to be asked about comic book movies for the rest of his career, whether he likes it or not. The same can be said about most actors who have appeared in well-known DC or Marvel films, but Affleck’s connection to the genre seems to be a more omnipresent part of his…

The superhero genre has been a cinema staple for over 20 years. But while Marvel and DC may dominate the genre with icons like Superman and Captain America, there are plenty of superhero stories featuring characters outside of those publishers. Whether it’s wholly original characters or comic book properties from outside publishers, the superhero genre…

For a long time, everything has been something else. It started with the arrival of “Stranger Things,” which was so indebted to 80s horror and Steven Spielberg/Amblin movies that it teetered on the precipice of pastiche from the very beginning of its run.

Disney+ has officially ordered a new animated series. It will bring the classic Disney superhero back to screens with a new cast led by Mark Hamill, Seth Rogen, and Kathryn Newton.

Lanterns Episode 6 may have quietly answered a question about the DCU that fans weren’t necessarily asking yet. During the episode, John Stewart says there is “no Superman” in Midway City, a seemingly straightforward line that becomes considerably more interesting when viewed through the lens of DC Comics history. Midway City is one of the…

Marvel spent most of 2026 telling readers that a new hero with unrivaled power was coming, and then spent four issues of an Avengers event refusing to say who he was. The answer landed in Avengers: Armageddon #4, and it is bigger than a new character. David Colton, the post-9/11 Captain America that Chip Zdarsky…
