Modern Marvel Select Thanos Action Figure Surfaces

Popping up at the London, UK Disney Store, eagle eyed Luke Spicer spotted a new modern Marvel Comics styled Thanos hanging on the pegs. No fanfare?? NO TRUMPETS??!! Luke took to social media to show off his find and was immediately bombarded with a billion questions...most of which he couldn't answer, save for thinking the figure might be "underscaled", unlike the most recent Ragnarok Gladiator Hulk release which is MASSIVE. Clearly, we can see this Thanos does not take up a ton of space in the packaging...so that's something we'll have to explore when someone gets their hands on the figure itself. Not being overly impressed with the size, Luke left his find behind.

Westworld Season 2 Gets a Full Trailer & Nirvana Cover

I can't say enough good things about the first season of HBO's Westworld. It wasn't JUST excellent storytelling...it was the conversations the content could start among any group of people. For me, the most important one would be how humans treat each other when they think no one is looking, or under the anonymity of the internet...or worse, the false bravado one gets when you don't have to stand face to face with the person you are confronting. Westworld brings this slice of "humanity" into question with vacationing rich folks doing whatever they please to robots, knowing there will be no repercussions, despite any disgusting acts they commit. It's all fine and good for them...until the robots develop plans of their own.

Kotobukiya's Bushoujo Evil Dead 2 Ash Williams

We dare you to ask this girl for some sugar! Illustrator Shunya Yamashita works his magic once again and Kotobukiya renders it in 3 dimensions...with amazing results! The latest entry in Kotobukiya’s Horror BISHOUJO series is the long-awaited Ash Williams from Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn.

Reflecting the violent nature of the film, Ash’s clothes are tattered, exposing her robust form. Ash stands on an exquisitely detailed base modeled after the floor of the cabin from the film, with a decomposing hand peeking out from the cellar door. The Necronomicon Ex-Mortis is detached, allowing you to display it wherever you like. The contrast between the bold, Chainsaw-Brandishing hero and the intricate details in the craftsmanship make this BISHOUJO one you won’t want to miss!

Star Trek: The Next Generation Returns to Comics

After the stellar success of Star Trek: The Next Generation: Mirror Broken, which introduced the alternate “Mirror” villainous version of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew to comics, and the excitement around the upcoming five-week mega-event Star Trek: The Next Generation: Through The Mirror, IDW now returns to the original, or “prime,” universe this August in Star Trek: The Next Generation: Terra Incognita, beginning a brand-new wave of episodic miniseries!

This six-issue miniseries reveals unique, focused stories where beloved characters find themselves in new, unfamiliar situations, in a format echoing the “done-in-one” nature of the television series. However, each issue also features a subtle throughline of an evil Mirror Universe crewmember established in the Mirror Broken and Through the Mirror series remaining on the ship, wreaking havoc while posing as his prime universe counterpart. Featuring the best of both the Mirror and original universes, Terra Incognita is a unique new step in this riveting saga.
