This is how House of the Dragon should end

HBO’s hit show, House of the Dragon, delivered an impressive second season filled with drama, dragons, death, and chaos. Positioning itself as one of the standout series for 2024, this flagship production is poised to compete fiercely in next year’s Emmy Awards. Eager spectators will have to endure a wait of at least a year or two before they can unravel the plotlines developed this season and enjoy another installment of this captivating tale. Fingers crossed that the upcoming Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season will tide us over until then!

The five best new comic books of the week (July 31)

Choosing the top five comic books of the week proved challenging. The standout for me was David Pepose’s Space Ghost No. 4, marking a significant moment as Space Ghost, Jan, and Jace faced their first real adversaries. The issue concluded with a suspenseful cliffhanger that hinted at a pivotal shift in the series. Another impressive read was Scarlett, penned by Kelly Thompson and illustrated by Marco Ferrari. Their collaboration felt like a cinematic masterpiece, solidifying their suitability for this series. It was also hard not to include Batman No. 151 on this list, given its importance in DC Comics’ crossover event, Absolute Power.
