Whereas most comics adaptations tend to fiddle around with the tone and visual language that defined the source material they’re based on, Apple’s forthcoming Strange Planet looks and sounds almost like a carbon copy of creator Nathan W. Pyle’s webcomics that took the internet by storm a few years back.
Honestly? It’s sort of hard to tell whether this is a good thing, or not.
Good news everyone: the sci-fi show returned from the dead for a new season on Hulu this week, and soon there will be some kind of Fortnite collaboration as well. It’s not clear if you’ll be able to play as Fry and Zoidberg, or if the Hypnotoad will appear on the battle royale island, but all is expected to be revealed at 5AM ET tomorrow.
Netflix’s Junji Ito anthology left a lot to be desired when it released early this year, but maybe fans will have better luck with Uzumaki on Adult Swim, which adapts one of the horror master’s most frightening stories. You can get a first taste in the clip below — the adaptation is expected to premiere some time in 2023.
Shinichirō Watanabe’s new Adult Swim series Lazarus sounds like a glimpse into a sort of hellish future where the very same drugs that save people’s lives are responsible for killing them days later.
That may be the case, but judging from the short trailer Adult Swim debuted at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Lazarus is also going to have some pretty chill vibes and stunning action.
Or at least, this version of Geralt, played by Henry Cavill. He’ll be replaced by Liam Hemsworth starting in season 4. In the meantime, the finale of season 3 hits Netflix on July 27th, and you can check out the latest trailer below.
Alf, the lovable cat-munching alien from the sitcom golden era of the ‘80s, is getting a marathon on Ryan Reynolds’ linear Maximum Effort channel on FuboTV this Saturday (which is also my birthday. Ryan Reynolds, you shouldn’t have!).
The marathon will feature “new original Alf content” in the form of ‘Maximum Moments’ ads featuring creator, original puppeteer, and voice actor Paul Fusco as Alf.
I haven’t been this excited about Alf since 1992.
AMC debuted a trailer for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon during the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday (via Deadline).
In it, we see Dixon find out he’s to transport a young child across the dead-ridden wastes of France to save the world, which sounds awfully familiar. But whatever, I’m always down for more Norman Reedus.
