Even though his time as Aquaman is done, Jason Momoa is still in the DC family and is currently filming Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow over in England opposite of Milly Alcock. Momoa appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show earlier this week to promote his upcoming Minecraft movie where he stars with Jack Black. And While he didn’t say much other than confirming that he will be Lobo, during another interview with CinemaBlend where he was accompanied by Black, Momoa almost showed the interviewer an image of him in the Lobo make-up until his publicist intervened. Also Black was trying to angle for a cameo in the film. Well, head of DC Studios James Gunn saw the interview and posted “I just want to profoundly thank Jason Momoa’s publicist… and Jack Black, anytime.” Gunn may need to borrow some of Kevin Feige’s snipers from Marvel.     

The new Netflix series, The Residence, is a clever and quirky murder mystery that takes place in the White House during an important state dinner. The show, created by Paul William Davies, straddles the line between humor and who-dunnit with the same efficiency as Only Murders in the Building with an almost equally star-studded cast. But one of the biggest names in the show isn’t actually in the show. The murder of the chief usher, played by Giancarlo Esposito, takes place at an important dinner trying to repair a strained relationship between the US and Australia and like with many real state dinners, luminaries from the visiting country attend, in this cause Kylie Minogue and Hugh Jackman. And while Minogue is seen often, either singing or trying to get into the Lincoln bedroom, Jackman is always shown from behind or the side… because Jackman is not part of the cast. He was written into the story, with a lot of appearances, but when it came time to ask him, the actor was just too busy. Davies said that Jackman sent a really nice and apologetic note about not being able to do the series. So, they improvised, cast two actors, Ben Bigler and Justin Ellis Johnson, to stand in for Jackman and just went for it. Which just added to the show’s quirkiness. If the show gets a second season, they should definitely carry this bit over. All eight episodes of The Residence are available now on Netflix.   

The official Daredevil Instagram account added a very interesting post. The idea behind the post is to show a scene from Daredevil: Born Again matched up to pages from the comics that they were pulled from. For example, Daredevil #181 (1981) where Daredevil let Bullseye fall from a building… compared to the same scene in episode one. Or Daredevil #595 (2015) when Fisk wins the election for Mayor of New York. And even two scenes from Daredevil #39 (2003) where Matt is defending Hector Ayala aka the White Tiger. But the really interesting choice here is that they chose Daredevil #82 (2006) and linked it to the death of Foggy Nelson… but in the comic, it was the “apparent death” of Foggy as it is revealed five issues later that he is still alive. I’m sure this won’t add to the growing speculation that Foggy isn’t really dead. 

There has been one person missing from all of the trailers and promotional material we’ve seen for Thunderbolts*. Originally Ayo Edebiri from The Bear was cast in the film to play Val’s assistant, named Erin. Then Edebiri had to leave the project, and she was replaced by Geraldine Viswanathan. While the role is believed to be small, Viswanathan name is appearing on the theater standees alongside some of the higher profile characters. But again, no sign of the character in any trailer until Empire Magazine released this new image from the film showing Viswanathan standing next to Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine along with a few masked soldiers. There is, of course, on-line speculation that Erin will turn out to be a more prominent character from the comics… but in a movie with this many costumed characters, I wouldn’t bet on it. 

According to Deadline, Amazon MGM Studios is looking at two names familiar with steering big franchises to head up the James Bond films when the handover from Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson is finalized. Amy Pascal and David Heyman are said to be the pair that Amazon wants running the OO7 franchise and that makes a lot of sense. Pascal oversaw four of the Daniel Craig lead films from Casino Royale to Skyfall while she was with Sony as well as the Spider-Man franchise which still produces even after leaving the studio. And Heyman helmed a little series called Harry Potter, which is now being turned into an HBO series. It’s also said that the studio wants to do another OO7 film before doing any spinoff series. I wonder what the odds of Andrew Garfield or Daniel Radcliffe as the next Bond are? 

Earlier this week in ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #2, Emperor Doom publicly humbled the Fantastic Four, even going so far as to restore the Thing to his human form! Despite being embraced by the world at large, Earth’s heroes will stop at nothing to topple Doom’s reign, for as his archenemies lick their wounds, the Avengers plot their next strike! Today, get a sneak peek at the explosive battle to come with an advance preview of ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #3, on sale next month.

More than a mere crossover event, ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM represents an entire status quo shift that will impact Marvel Comics storytelling for the foreseeable future, specifically in newly-launched tie-in limited series as well as tie-in issues of current ongoing series. The era is anchored by Ryan North and R.B. Silva’s core nine-issue series where readers will witness the greatest developments of Doom’s glorious rule as well as his triumphs over all who dare challenge it!

It's not just the heroes who dislike having Doom in charge. The new ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM #3 preview reveals that the Avengers have assembled some of Earth’s deadliest villains to fight alongside them: super geniuses DOCTOR OCTOPUS and M.O.D.O.K., masters of the dark arts BARON MORDO and GOBLIN QUEEN, and brilliant tricksters ARCADE and MYSTERIO! It’s a mighty coalition that even Doom can’t brush off, and as he defends himself from their brazen attack, Scarlet Witch leads a magical investigation to discover how Doom really rose to power, only to face a devastating truth!

Speaking about the upcoming issue, North said, "It was a ton of fun to write, and even more fun to see drawn when R.B. Silva was done with it. And it doesn't go the way you might think, and actually leads to an even BIGGER fight in the next issue! It's got some Doom moments I'm super proud of. How could it not, when you've got characters like M.O.D.O.K. and Doctor Octopus trying to take down Doom for their own reasons?"

Critically acclaimed writer Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, Ultimate Wolverine), visionary artist Jeffrey Alan Love (The Last Battle At The End Of The World, The Thousand Demon Tree), and star letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou are gearing up together for the stunning new sci-fi horror miniseries News from the Fallout. Condon is known for co-creating the Image Comics neo-Western crime series That Texas Blood and The Enfield Gang Massacre spinoff miniseries, which was chosen as one of The Hollywood Reporter’s “Best Comics of 2023” picks. This marks his first Image Comics series in collaboration with Love, who is making his direct market comic book debut as a series artist.


News from the Fallout, a thrillingly dark sci-fi horror, takes place in Nevada in 1962 during a nuclear bomb test that goes horribly awry. A dangerous contaminant gets released into the atmosphere, causing an apocalyptic chain reaction that changes the course of history. Strikingly crafted with ashy black and white art, the comic gives the feel of turning through the dusty pages of a 60s horror comic met with the experience of watching a staticky science fiction film. Fans of 60s sci-fi films and TV shows like The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, classic horror comics like The Vault of Horror, and the works of authors Stephen King and Richard Matheson will enjoy this six-issue miniseries, launching this June.

The new miniseries follows patrons of an isolated diner in the aptly named 'Atomic Alley' of Nevada, who find themselves besieged by horrors unleashed by an atomic blast at a secret army base located nearby. Forced to flee, the patrons are joined by a defector from the base, Private Otis Fallows, who must contend with hostility from without and within as the unlikely group journeys to the theoretical safe haven of Sin City itself: Las Vegas.

"News from the Fallout is a long-gestating project that I've been chipping away at for years,” said Condon. “To know that it's finally coming to life thanks to the incredible Jeffrey Alan Love, who has brought his profoundly unique style of art to this project, is nothing short of amazing. I'm thrilled to work with both Jeff and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou on this book and I hope that readers are ready for a thrill-packed ride that is unlike any other book you're likely to find on the shelves of your local comic shop."

Love added: “Working with Chris has been wonderful, as he has such a unique personal voice in his writing. Sometimes as an artist working with others I feel like I'm in a cover band, singing someone else's song, but this collaboration with Chris has been different. It has felt like both our voices have been amplified by the other.”

News from the Fallout #1 (of 6) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 25:

Cover A by Love - Lunar Code 0425IM295

Cover B by Jacob Phillips - Lunar Code 0425IM296

News from the Fallout will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

She’s back! Marvel’s very own Star Wars superstar, DOCTOR APHRA, will headline a new ongoing comic series this June written by rising star Cherish Chen (Radiant Red) and drawn by longtime Star Wars artist Gabriel Guzman. Following Alex Segura and Phil Noto’s flagship Star Wars series launching in May, STAR WARS: DOCTOR APHRA – CHAOS AGENT will be the second launch in Marvel’s new era of Star Wars storytelling set in the largely unexplored post-Return of the Jedi time period.

Debuting 10 years ago in the pages of Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca’s Darth Vader, Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra instantly captivated fans with her morally questionable nature and deadly dynamic with the Dark Lord of the Sith, becoming the first-ever comic book originating Star Wars character to star in their own solo series. After back-to-back hit 40-issue runs set during the Original Trilogy, Aphra embarks on her most unpredictable misadventures as the galaxy far, far away transforms in the wake of the Battle of Jakku. With her crimes pardoned, Aphra is enlisted by her friend Luke Skywalker to put her treasure hunting skills to good use on behalf of the New Republic!

OUT FROM THE SHADOW OF DARTH VADER AND IN MORE TROUBLE THAN EVER! Doctor Aphra makes her way through the galaxy in the era of the New Republic! The rogue archaeologist must team up with Luke Skywalker to track down a rare artifact! And what will she do when her tattoos no longer function?!

"In my humble opinion, there isn’t a more fun character to be writing in the Star Wars galaxy than the one and only Doctor Aphra,” said Chen. “Cooking up new adventures for her in this new era, throwing her into increasingly tricky moral quandaries, and testing her resolve (alongside some familiar faces) has truly been like playing in the ultimate sandbox. Our favorite chaos agent is back, and I cannot wait to share what we’ve been working on and for you all to see Gabriel’s incredibly dynamic art."

Following his fate in Loki Season 2, many had no idea how Tom Hiddleston's Loki would play into Avengers: Doomsday, but now he will reportedly be the glue for the entire premise of the movie.

Many always expected Hiddleston to be in the film in some capacity, but it seems as though he may be more vital than anyone could have ever imagined.

Industry insider Alex Perez held a recent Q&A column on The Cosmic Circus to answer questions about future Marvel projects, specifically Avengers: Doomsday. One fan asked Perez what Loki's role would be in Doomsday and/or Secret Wars, and Perez's answer was rather shocking.

"He’ll be our McGuffin. The race against Doomsday will be a race to see who gets to Loki first," Perez said.

Avengers: Doomsday was expected to release on May 1, 2026, but a recent report indicated that it may be delayed. (via The Direct)

Greg Rucka (The Old Guard) and Michael Lark, the Eisner Award-winning creative team behind New York Times bestselling sci-fi series, Lazarus, are returning to their neo-feudalist world with the final installment, Lazarus: Fallen. For the new series, Rucka and Lark are joined by Lazarus colorist Santi Arcas, letterer Ariana Maher, editor Alejandro Arbona, and graphic designers Eric Trautmann and Richard Howe on the creative team. In Lazarus: Fallen, which launches this June, warrior Forever Carlyle is finally free from the control of the power-hungry Carlyle Family that wielded her like a weapon, and this time Forever Carlyle means to burn down the world of the Families…even her own.

The Lazarus series follows Forever Carlyle, an unkillable, genetically-engineered soldier, controlled by the mechanisms of her father, Malcolm Carlyle. Malcolm is the patriarch of one of the powerful Families that rose to rule the world after an economic-driven apocalypse. The Families now own everything and everyone; in this neo-feudalist order, you are either of value to the Families and made a Serf, or you are irrelevant, disposable labor, called Waste.

But the Families are driven by greed, and in their unending pursuit of more and more, each created a Lazarus—a man or woman created and trained to be the loyal instrument of their Family’s will. Forever Carlyle is the Lazarus of the Carlyle Family, raised to absolutely believe in her duty to her family, and with an unquestioning loyalty to her father. That time is over, and now Forever—with the aid of her younger sister and next iteration of the Carlyle Lazarus, Infinity—means to destroy the world her father created.

“Michael and I started Lazarus back in 2013, and while we knew we were telling a story that was a distorted reflection of our world, I don’t think either of us imagined how less distorted that vision would become,” said Rucka. “But for all the talk about the world-building, about the vision of the future—or arguably, prescience of the present—Lazarus has remained, at its heart, about Forever’s journey. We’re finally getting to the resolution of it—the ending that we’ve been working on from the start. There’s so much I’m excited about sharing with this final run. There are things that I think will surprise some readers—some twists that they, perhaps, didn’t see coming. I know that it’s been a long wait for these final issues, and I’m grateful for the patience our audience has shown. We’ve got the most amazing fans, and that is both humbling and gratifying.”

Lark added: "I'm very happy to get Lazarus back into readers' hands. Greg has given me so much to explore with the characters and storytelling, and I'm really excited about the work I've been doing on the new issues. I think it is some of the best work I've ever done, and I hope readers feel the same."

“I love working with Michael," said Rucka. "He fits my sensibilities for storytelling so effortlessly, and his character work is never anything less than superb. He always delivers on the action, but it’s in the quiet scenes, in the emotional beats, that I think he shines brightest—and it’s in those moments that the series lives and breathes. This is unquestionably the best work of Michael’s career thus far, and that is genuinely saying something.”

Lazarus: Fallen #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 25, featuring a cover by Lark. The series will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.

For readers looking to catch up on the Lazarus series, the first issue is available to read for free on the Image Comics website here. Volumes 1-7, and the first three hardcover collections, are currently available for purchase at comic book shops, bookstores, and across many digital platforms.

Lazarus: The Fourth Collection, a hardcover volume that collects Lazarus #27 and #28, and for the first time, the complete seven-issue run of Lazarus: Risen, with extras, will be available to purchase on May 21 at comic book shops (Lunar code 0325IM428) and on June 3 at independent bookstores (ISBN: 9781534335912), Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones, and across many digital platforms.
