Following the story of blood cells that work in unison within the human body to battle against illnesses and other threats to their host, Cells At Work is perhaps the anime series best suited to tackle the issue of COVID....

In the first season of DC’s Stargirl, Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) took up the Cosmic Staff, assembled her own version of the Justice Society of America, and took on their greatest foe — the Injustice Society of America with the young heroes ultimately defeating the ISA and saving Blue Valley, Nebraska, and the world from their nefarious plan to mind control everyone into conforming into their idea of a “perfect” world....

Spring Break is coming and Walt Disney World is already booked to capacity. A new report from Walt Disney World News Today shows that the calendar is all full through next week and things aren’t much different at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You would expect this kind of ramp up as people across the country get restless despite most areas being nowhere close to full vaccination rates. However, it has gone to enough people so far that there might not be the potential widespread issues that would have existed just a few months ago....

After the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the next Marvel Cinematic Universe movie on the docket is Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. There’s a lot we still don’t know about the genre-bending blockbuster, outside of a few key members of its ensemble cast. With the film reportedly undergoing several weeks of reshoots, we’ll probably have to wait a while to see official footage — but a new leaked piece of merchandise reveals a pretty interesting look....

Given that the game’s developer, Tango Gameworks, is owned by ZeniMax Media which is now owned by Microsoft, this game will be absent on the Xbox platform at launch despite being created by a member of the Xbox Game Studios group....

Shortly after the release of Marvel’s Phase 4 sizzle reel, geek icon Kevin Smith took to social media to share his enthusiasm for the trailer, and to tell fans how he reacted to hearing the voice of the late Stan Lee, with whom Smith became friends after Lee appeared in his 1995 film Mallrats, narrating the video. Lee’s narration runs over a video that delivered new footage from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, as well as the very first footage for Marvel’s Eternals....

When making the original Mortal Kombat arcade game, creators Ed Boon and John Tobias decided to create two palette-swapped characters, in order to save valuable space. Those two ninjas became Scorpion and Sub-Zero, and Boon and Tobias looked for a number of small ways to make them feel different to players. In a behind-the-scenes video Boon shared to Twitter today, we can see the actor that plays Scorpion and Sub-Zero trying out different stances, following suggestions from Boon and Tobias....

The My Hero Academia Exhibition has unveiled a new sketch that has fans buzzing like crazy: an epic picture of the brothers/rivals Shoto Todoroki and Dabi! Kohei Horikoshi has put Shoto and Dabi together on a glorious one-sheet, under the ominous caption, “I’m Watching You”, which could apply to either brother, really. This artwork is part of the big My Hero Academia Art Exhibition that’s taking place in Tokyo, Japan, this spring, and Osaka later in the year....

343 Industries and Xbox have shared a new Halo Infinite update and it’s almost exclusively bad news. The update begins by revealing that Season 2, dubbed Lone Wolves, is releasing on May 3rd. Does this mean that co-op campaign and Forge mode are finally releasing on May 3 after being pitched for Season 2? No, because they’ve both been delayed, again. That’s right, after delaying this very roadmap earlier in the year, 343 Industries has dropped the roadmap just to reveal the two things everyone has been waiting for have been delayed again....

The Good Asian #1 is a strong opening chapter to a 1930s noir story dealing with subjects uncomfortably familiar relevant to our modern day. Hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States is on the rise, fueled by ghastly rhetoric tying the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic to China. This spate of violence might seem unexpected to the ignorant or naive, as Asian Americans are often considered a “model minority” in the United States and are often excluded when discussing the complicated impacts of race in American society....

The Mandalorian packed quite a few surprises into that final season 2 episode, though the biggest surprise had to be the inclusion of Luke Skywalker. Mark Hamill reprised the role of Luke during the season 2 finale, as he turned out to be the Jedi that would ultimately come to help train Grogu. That came after an amazing battle sequence and culminated in a scene that included not just Luke but also Mando, Bo-Katan, Fennec, Koska Reeves, and Cara Dune, a Star Wars fan’s dream scenario really, and you could definitely describe that moment as a dream for Fennec actress Ming-Na Wen....

The Seven Deadly Sins has released the first teaser trailer for its big movie finale! Although the fourth and final season of the anime series, The Seven Deadly Sins: Dragon’s Judgment, is currently airing new episodes in Japan (but fans in other territories are waiting for the new season to stream with Netflix later this year), it’s apparently not going to be the end of the anime franchise overall. In fact, there’s going to be one final adventure taking place after the events of the new season that will bid goodbye to the titular Sins in a major way....

Out of all of the upcoming projects on DC Films’ slate, fans are especially looking forward to the debut of The Suicide Squad. The new film, which will bring James Gunn’s take on the iconic team of antiheroes, made a splash when it debuted its roster of characters and behind-the-scenes footage at DC FanDome last August. Since then, official updates surrounding the project have been relatively scarce, even as the film’s hybrid release in theaters and on HBO Max draws closer....

This week’s AEW Dynamite added in a few more matches to the Full Gear pay-per-view lineup coming up on Nov. 13 in Minneapolis. The first was when Darby Allin returned from a recent attack by The Pinnacle and attacked Wardlow and Shawn Spears alongside Sting. He then called out MJF, who had retreated up to the top of the ramp, for a one-on-one match. The two AEW originals have been feuding for roughly a month now, with Allin claiming that Friedman was incapable of breaking him mentally....
