TNA Impact Wrestling Changes Networks – to Pop

After spending a rather tumultuous year on Destination America (and many years on Spike previous), TNA's two-hour weekly Impact Wrestling show is changing networks again - this time to Pop.

Pop (formerly TV Guide Network), a joint venture network from CBS Corporation and Lions Gate Entertainment that celebrates "the excitement of being a fan," will become the exclusive U.S. television home of Impact Wrestling on Tuesday, January 5th.

“Pop’s enthusiasm for our partnership and the network’s fan focus is a perfect fit for our company,” said TNA President Dixie Carter in a statement. “Wresting has always been at the forefront of pop culture with the most passionate, loyal fan base. We’re thrilled to be in business with Pop and to bring Impact Wrestling to more than 80 million homes."

Comic Book Reviews for November 18, 2015

It's another huge week of comics, with Marvel launching a wave of new books, DC publishing a long forgotten Batman comic, and Valiant launching a new Eternal Warrior series. Check out our reviews, then make your voices heard in the comments.

DC COMICS

STK688628

Written by Greg Pak | Drawn by Scott Kolins

Stories involving Superman turning evil or becoming corrupted are nothing new. We’re seeing that play out in the pages of Justice League right now. Even so, Greg Pak finds something new out of this old chestnut as he explores an infected Superman confronting Wrath. Pak strikes a balance between letting Clark’s darker side come out while still respecting the fundamentally good man beneath. If anything, this reads less like “Evil Superman” and more like a weary hero finally getting the chance to cut loose and enjoy himself again. It’s unfortunate that Aaron Kuder doesn’t handle the art in this issue (though he’s at least credit for the story). But Scott Kolins is no slouch, and he brings an energetic vibe to this issue that doesn’t fall too far from Kuder’s familiar aesthetic. -Jesse
