Okay, so I just read Captain America #10, and wow, things got crazy! They brought Doctor Doom back, but like, a way younger version of him. It’s a really different look for the character, but they did a cool job of hinting at the classic Doom with a brown cape and green sweater. The last panel was the biggest shocker, though – young Doom straight-up announces he’s ready to take charge of Latveria! It’s setting up something big, I can feel it.

I’ve been seeing so many amazing bands lately – Wet Leg and Wolf Alice were fantastic, but honestly, I think MEEK just topped them all. They were incredible!

As a big fan of shows with a bit of the unusual, I was really hoping I Am Not Okay with This would click. It had a lot going for it – a young woman dealing with powers and all the awkwardness of growing up in a small town, which reminded me a lot of Stranger Things. Actually, one of the producers of Stranger Things was involved, but even that couldn’t save it. It’s frustrating because I’ve seen this happen before, like with Sweet Tooth on Netflix. That show was so creative and got great reviews, but it still only lasted three seasons. It’s a shame when a show with so much promise doesn’t get the chance to really shine.

Even though companies use May the 4th for advertising and merchandise, Star Wars Day is, at its heart, a celebration created by and for the fans. The fact that it started as a fan-driven event shows how strong and lasting its popularity is.

Released in 1996, The Rock featured a star-studded cast including Nicolas Cage, Ed Harris, and Sean Connery. Cage played a scientist who teamed up with the FBI to prevent a chemical weapon attack on Alcatraz Island. While showcasing Michael Bay’s typical action style, the film is particularly remembered for Sean Connery’s performance. Many fans felt his character was a fitting conclusion to his iconic role as James Bond.

Since 2015, the band has released four albums that have all been hugely successful in the UK, reaching either the No. 1 or No. 2 spot on the charts. However, they haven’t achieved the same level of recognition in the US, peaking at only No. 90 on the Billboard charts. This isn’t due to the quality of their indie-rock music, but rather the challenges faced by bands like Wolf Alice when trying to gain popularity in the American market.
