Unlike the familiar chainsaw-equipped Lancer, this prototype version features a bayonet design from before the chains

Nearly five decades after her original solo title was canceled, Vixen is finally receiving an ongoing DC comic series. The historic announcement matters, but its future will depend on sustained investment from DC and support from readers.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned a record-breaking $360 million domestically and $932 million worldwide. Its success suggests audiences have become more selective about superhero movies rather than abandoning the genre.

IO Interactive’s 007 First Light understands what decades of James Bond games forgot. Bond is more than a man with a gun. With intelligent espionage, open-ended missions, meaningful gadgets and outstanding level design, this origin story becomes one of 2026’s strongest Game of the Year contenders.

GameStop built its identity around physical games, trade-ins, and midnight releases. Now the company says discs barely matter to its business.

Summer 2026 is packed with anime that demand attention, from returning heavyweights like Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, and Hell Mode Season 2 to new and risky titles like BLACK TORCH, Tomb Raider King, and Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia.

Milly Alcock proves she was the right choice for Kara Zor-El, delivering one of the most emotionally believable Kryptonians ever put on screen.

The result is a frustrating DCU film with real promise that never fully reaches orbit.

Sony’s decision to stop making physical PlayStation discs for new games has gamers asking whether this is the natural future of the industry or a corporate middle finger to collectors, preservationists, and players who still value ownership. Digital gaming may be convenient, but the death of the disc raises bigger concerns about pricing, access, used games, preservation, and who really controls your library.

Hollywood once dismissed YouTubers as internet personalities, not serious filmmakers. Horror is proving that assumption wrong. From Talk to Me and The Backrooms to Iron Lung, online creators are bringing fresh instincts, cultural fluency, and fearless experimentation to the genre.
