Todd McFarlane Reveals Where He Got His Inspiration for Spawn
SYFY's newest profile documentary, Todd McFarlane: Like Hell I Won’t, centers on the iconic comic book creator, who co-founded Image Comics and is the mastermind behind the Spawn character and McFarlane Toys.
The documentary, which premieres on SYFY on Saturday, July 25, "gives viewers a peek behind the curtain into Todd’s creative process of bringing Spider-Man & Spawn to life. Revealing his motivations & inspirations, it illustrates his struggle to navigate and upend the status quo in the comics & toy industries," according to SYFY. IGN can officially reveal a clip where McFarlane shares a personal story about how Spawn's origin story is influenced by his own life experiences.
Watch the revealing clip in the video below or at the top of the page:
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/25/todd-mcfarlane-like-hell-i-wont-exclusive-spawn-origin-clip"]
The director of the documentary, David Oster, is a comic book fan himself and was thrilled to get the opportunity to tell McFarlane's story in partnership with online content creation studio Tongal. "Tongal provided an incredible opportunity for me to pitch my vision for how I wanted to tell Todd’s story directly to SYFY," Oster explained. "Todd McFarlane is an icon with passionate fans around the world, so I felt an immense obligation to not only tell his story well, but also to do it in a way that was exciting and new. Todd has spent his entire career breaking barriers, refusing to quit, and always fighting for his vision. So in making this film, I approached this creative challenge with the same ideals."
While McFarlane has seen his Spawn creation on the big screen in New Line Cinema's live-action adaptation starring Michael Jai White in the titular role, McFarlane has promised another Spawn film is in the works. In more recent news, the comic book mogul mentioned that a 90-minute Spawn animated project is "ready to go."

The Walking Dead Movies: Robert Kirkman ‘Very Involved’
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Negan Lives #1!
[poilib element="accentDivider"]
The Walking Dead creator and Skybound Entertainment co-founder Robert Kirkman hosted a spotlight panel at Comic-Con 2020, which was featured in IGN's Comic-Con@Home livestream on Friday. In addition to reflecting on the recently released Walking Dead epilogue comic Negan Lives, Kirkman also updated fans on the status of multimedia projects like the Rick Grimes-focused Walking Dead movies and the Oblivion Song movie, along with revealing even more voice actors for Amazon's Invincible animated series.
Perhaps most importantly, Kirkman reassured fans that he is heavily involved in the Rick Grimes movies and they are still progressing, despite a lack of recent news surrounding these spinoffs of the TV series. As with so many movies and TV shows, the COVID-19 pandemic hasn't helped.
[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-and-worst-walking-dead-time-jumps&captions=true"]
"I am very involved in those," said Kirkman. "I'm talking to Andrew Lincoln quite frequently and working with David Alpert and Scott Gimple and everyone at Universal and AMC and getting that in shape. It's very important to us that these movies are spectacular. I think that to have Andrew Lincoln reprising his role as Rick is a very special thing, and if we were to do these movies that were in any way lackluster, I think would be a disservice to him and a disservice to Rick Grimes and a disservice to the fans. I've been very hands-on with shaping that story and making sure they're on the up-and-up. We're all working very hard to bring you the best possible movie. That and the pandemic is why there's been a bit of a delay in the news."
Similarly, Kirkman said progress is being made on Oblivion Song, even if it doesn't seem apparent from the outside.
"The movie is still very much in development," he said. "We're working with our partners at Universal to bring this film to life. It is a slow-going process. We probably announced the development of it a little too soon, but it's something that's actively going on behind the scenes on a daily basis. I'm reviewing things and getting things in order, and progress is being made. Hopefully, there'll be news very soon."
Building on the recent Invincible cast reveals at Skybound Xpo, Kirkman announced the full cast voicing the Guardians of the Globe (basically the Invincible universe's answer to the Justice League), all of whom are The Walking Dead veterans. That lineup includes Ross Marquand as both The Immortal and Aquarius, Lauren Cohan as War Woman, Michael Cudlitz as Red Rush, Lennie James as Darkwing, Chad Coleman as Martian Man, and Sonequa Martin-Green as Green Ghost.
Unfortunately, Kirkman is not at all optimistic about a third season of Cinemax's Outcast series. He noted that the cast has moved on to other projects and the contractual difficulties would be difficult to overcome at this point, short of a situation similar to when Amazon's Jeff Bezos intervened to save The Expanse. Kirkman isn't ruling out the possibility of an Outcast movie, though it's unclear whether he envisions a spinoff of the TV series or a brand new adaptation.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/25/why-the-walking-dead-season-10-finale-is-delayed-ign-now"]
Kirkman also downplayed the idea of the Walking Dead comic getting any further spinoffs or continuations after Negan Lives #1. Though that issue seems to set up a new story, ending with Negan setting forth to find his late wife's body and properly lay her to rest, Kirkman pointed out that The Walking Dead #193 already shows the reformed villain visiting her new gravesite. Basically, the beginning and ending of that story have already been told.
"It does very much seem like it is setting up a continuing journey for Negan. It is not," said Kirkman. "To a certain extent, the story of Negan recovering her body has a definitive end that's already been said. Do we really need to tell that story? I don't know. It might be fun. Maybe someday we will, but there are no plans whatsoever at this point."

Carrion Review – My Wayward Son
As you're slinking around air ducts and planning a surprise attack on a helpless scientist, it's difficult not to feel empowered by Carrion's approach to horror. Here you aren't the one slowly peeking around each corner to make sure you're safe--you're the one doing the hunting, leaving a gory trail of devastation as you pick apart an underground laboratory one department at a time. When Carrion gives you the tools to be the best betentacled killing machine you can be, it's a satisfying monster simulator with engaging puzzles and clever combat, but it falters in moments where you don't feel as in control as you should be.
Carrion's star is undoubtedly the gooey red monster you play as. Simply moving around is immensely satisfying. It feels as though you're constantly floating, with extending appendages latching onto surfaces around you to feed into the illusion of chaotic but calculated traversal. By making movement effortless, Carrion lets you appreciate how good it looks in motion, from squeezing your red mass into a narrow air duct to transforming into a school of parasitic worms to swim through grates. There are a handful of instances where your size makes orienting yourself slightly challenging, but they're small teething issues as you learn to navigate around.
When you consume humans, you gain life and grow, while the reverse happens when you take damage. As you progress through each level, you unlock new abilities which are directly tied to your current size. When you're at your largest, you can cause devastating damage by sending a flurry of tentacles forward and viciously pulling anything in their way towards you. At a medium size, you can encase yourself in spikes and roll around a room dealing damage in all directions, while your smallest sizes offer more utility-style abilities like stealth and a handy stun attack. Tying abilities to your size makes combat dynamic, where you're constantly watching the damage you take and adjusting your strategy as you go. It takes a bit to get comfortable with the sudden ability shifts in the heat of the moment, but getting access to movesets that let you dominate or flee a fight when you need them feels great.

Continue Reading at GameSpotNetflix’s The Dragon Prince Renewed for Four More Seasons!
Dragon Prince fans, rejoice! Netflix has given the creative team at Wonderstorm the greenlight to produce four more seasons of the animated epic, which will allow the series to complete its saga at the end of Season 7.
"We feel amazingly grateful to the fans and community," co-creator Aaron Ehasz told fans during The Dragon Prince Comic-Con@Home panel. Back in 2019, Ehasz and fellow co-creator Justin Richmond laid out their seven-season plan for The Dragon Prince to a crowd of eager fans at San Diego Comic-Con. Now, with Seasons 4, 5, 6, and 7 a go at Netflix, fans can rest assured knowing they're going to get a complete story. While no release date for Season 4 (Book 4) has been revealed, the title of the upcoming season will be called "Earth."
For a look at how the cast and crew reacted to the exciting Season 4 (and beyond!) renewal announcement, watch the heartwarming clip from their panel below:

Richmond, who has a gaming background as the director of Uncharted 3, says Wonderstorm is "doing something very rare. We have teams that are building this whole universe together but they're working on very different products. The goal is to get to the point where the whole experience with one of our future worlds is literally like, 'I'm watching a show, I'm playing a game.' It's all one experience. I get linear content and non-linear game content all from Wonderstorm all in one place."
So basically, the next Wonderstorm IP you experience could be in the form of an animated series, video game, or a book. And as far as The Dragon Prince goes, Wonderstorm is expanding the franchise's footprint by partnering with Dark Horse Comics on a new hardcover art book (debuting on August 18), plus a graphic novel from Scholastic, titled "Through the Moon," which is currently available for pre-order and will be released on October 6.

Wonderstorm Is Working on More Than Dragon Prince... Like Video Games!
Wonderstorm, co-founded by Justin Richmond, Aaron Ehasz, and Justin Santistevan, is about so much more than just making The Dragon Prince on Netflix. Before the global pandemic began, IGN was invited on a tour of Wonderstorm's offices in Los Angeles. And to our surprise, we walked into a room full of talented animators, coders, and designers working on new scripted series and even video games! And while we can't reveal any of the details surrounding the titles we saw in production, it was thrilling to witness so many talented people working on a variety of projects in various stages of development. We asked the founders what Wonderstorm would like to be known for as their company continues to grow. "We're trying to be a special place where artists and writers and programmers can be part of visionary teams that are building something they believe in and are proud of," Ehasz told IGN. The founders went on to say that Wonderstorm is striving to be a "double-threat media studio" that's working on shows and video games simultaneously.

Ever since the pandemic delayed the Season 10 finale of The Walking Dead and the air date of The Walking Dead: World Beyond spinoff, fans have been wondering when to expect the conclusion to the most recent season and the newest Walking Dead series.
At The Walking Dead's Comic-Con@Home panel today (which was featured in IGN's Comic-Con 2020 livestream - watch below), it was revealed that the Season 10 finale, "A Certain Doom," and the premiere of World Beyond would air on Sunday, October 4. This will officially kick off World Beyond's uninterrupted first season, which will consist of 10 episodes overall.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/24/amcs-the-walking-dead-official-panel-comic-con-2020"]
However, this won't exactly mark the end of The Walking Dead's Season 10, which has been extended by six episodes, which will air in early 2021. This will provide Walking Dead content for midseason while also making room for The Walking Dead's Season 11 to premiere later in the year.
We spoke to Chief Content Officer of The Walking Dead Universe Scott Gimple about the decision to add more episodes to Season 10 (as opposed to just starting Season 11) and also about how coronavirus delays have affected both World Beyond's rollout and the Rick Grimes movies which are still on the horizon.
