Spoilers for the end of What We Do in the Shadows Season 3 follow:

The most recent episode of What We Do in the Shadows ended on a doozy of a cliffhanger that we'll hopefully see resolved with the start of season 4. In the penultimate episode, Colin Robinson died as a part of an energy vampire's natural life span of 100 years, ridding the Long Island vampire house of one of its most iconic members.

The final episode then saw Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo, and Guillermo in various attitudes of mourning before they finally began to part ways. But when Laszlo runs across a baby Colin that has emerged from his corpse, he sabotages the others' plans and sends Guillermo to England with Nadja while Nandor leaves on a world tour alone. With everyone scattered and Colin Robinson now a baby, What We Do in the Shadows season 4 will have some interesting work to do to gather the gang together again for more hyjinks.

Spoilers end here.

It's been a mercifully short wait since the end of season 3 in late 2021, which we loved and nominated as one of our favorite TV series of 2021. The FX vampire mockumentary series from Taika Waititi has been a major hit, and really hit its stride in season 3 as the story stakes rose and characters like Guillermo, Nandor, and Colin developed dramatically.

We've known a season 4 was in the works since before the third had even debuted. It's unclear if the fourth season will be the final one, or if there will be more vampire shenanigans to come.

The adult stop-animation series starring M.O.D.O.K., one of Marvel Comics’ notorious villains, has been officially canceled by Hulu after just one season, Variety reports.

Though Hulu has yet to confirm a reason for the show’s cancellation, it’s not the first time that Hulu’s Marvel shows have been abruptly canceled. Shows like the live action “New Warriors” and the animated series Howard the Duck and Tigra & Dazzler had also been canceled before their scheduled airing.

M.O.D.O.K, along with the aforementioned shows, was one of four animated programs set up at Hulu and produced by Jeph Loeb. The plan was to eventually have them crossover in an event known as "The Offenders," though their cancellations have likely scrapped those plans.

Though the news may shock some, it’s something that was hinted at back in January. During their presentation at 2022’s Television Critics Association, Hulu content boss Craig Erwich said that the platform had no announcements to make regarding renewals for M.O.D.O.K and that “Marvel and team will make the decisions for that franchise, and that brand.”

M.O.D.O.K was one of Marvel’s last remaining non-MCU shows, and it likely fell victim to Marvel’s ultimate goal of winding down on their television production, as it had been reported that Marvel Television no longer had plans to develop any new series beyond the shows that are currently in production.

IGN reviewed the first season of “M.O.D.O.K.” and held a viewing party of the series’ first two episodes with show co-creators Jordan Blum and Patton Oswald. IGN’s Siddhant Adlakha called the show’s first season a “refreshing, mile-a-minute comic self-parody.”

The highly-anticipated action film Jurassic World Dominion is coming to theaters this summer after a one-year delayed release due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film is set four years after the dramatic turn of events at the end of the 2018 film Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, where the dinosaurs now live and hunt among humans all over the world. The film’s upcoming release also marks the conclusion of the franchise as a whole.

Jurassic World Dominion stars returning leads Chris Pratt as dinosaur behaviorist Owen Grady and Bryce Dallas Howard as former park operations manager Claire Dearing, alongside the original Jurassic Park stars as well, including Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum.

In anticipation of the film, Pratt spoke to ComicBook.com and discussed if the franchise will ever return again, perhaps later down the line, speaking to the epic nature of its long-awaited conclusion.

“I mean, I guess it would probably…possibly? You’d want to leave it open to that possibility,” said Pratt. “There aren’t a ton of comps for this kind of a thing. I think maybe Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame is a similar comp because you’ve got whatever that was…10 years, 20-something films. All of these characters each had their own stories, their own trilogies coming together. And you’re like, ‘This is wild.’”

“You’ve seen these worlds collide. It feels the same way,” Pratt continued. “You’ve got the Jurassic Park trilogy. You’ve got the Jurassic World trilogy, and it’s this big epic conclusion.”

The film’s director Colin Trevorrow also spoke to the possibility of more Jurassic films in the future, nodding to his belief in young filmmakers.

“What I get excited about is knowing what some young filmmaker envisions, like what new ideas,” said Trevorrow. “I, at one point, had a very clear vision for where we could take this and what this could be. And I laid that out to Steven Spielberg, and he gave me this opportunity. And I would love to be able to give that opportunity to some little kid who’s playing with dinosaur toys in a sandbox right now.”

Jurassic Park Dominion will be released in theaters on June 10.

Warning: this article contains some spoilers for Halo: The TV Series Episode 8!

The live-action Halo series has made a number of significant changes to the established mythology of the games, and Episode 8 has ushered in what may be the biggest shake-up yet. Master Chief appears to have just lost his virginity.

This is a pretty big departure from the Halo games, where John-117 is depicted as an ascetic super-soldier who only shows a sentimental attachment to his holographic companion Cortana, and has likely never had sex due to being kidnapped into Spartan programmer as a child. The series hasn't exactly followed that path over the course of Season 1, with Pablo Schreiber's Master Chief frequently removing his helmet and dealing with a surge of memories and emotions after encountering a Forerunner artifact.

That artifact also happens to be the reason for John's sexual encounter in Episode 8. The series has introduced a brand new character in Charlie Murphy's Makee, a human who was kidnapped by the Covenant at a young age and elevated to a position of power in that alien theocracy. John and Makee are seemingly the only two beings in the galaxy who can interact with the artifacts. After experiencing a shared vision of the mysterious Halo station in Episode 6, the two characters give in to the hormonal rush and have sex in Episode 8. And just to make things extra weird, Cortana is watching the entire time.

This plot twist has been the source of some criticism and outrage from Halo fans. Not only is the very idea of Master Chief having sex a hard pill for some to swallow, Episode 8 also uses the Master Chief/Makee romance to set the stage for the show's version of the Fall of Reach. Though torn between her newfound love for John-117 and her loyalty to the Covenant, Makee ultimately chooses the latter and signals Reach's location to the Covenant. Because he made the mistake of trusting Makee, Master Chief is about to have a lot of blood on his hands.

Forbes writer Paul Tassi sums up the incredulous reaction some are feeling to the episode:

Look, I don't care if this is a spoiler, the world must know:

In this week's Halo episode, Master Chief has sex with a human covenant spy prisoner while Cortana watches and it appears it triggers events that will lead to the Fall of Reach

On the other hand, Twitter user @Spicy_Halo offers this rebuttal:

The Master Chief kissed a girl and now I can’t relate to him anymore. pic.twitter.com/B44Jn9IgRu

— Spicy Halo (@Spicy_Halo) May 12, 2022

IGN was positive on the new episode and its admittedly revisionist take on setting up the Fall of Reach storyline. Our review said, "It's a sudden swerve for both characters, not to mention that Halo fans aren't really accustomed to seeing Chief show affection for anyone apart from his platonic love for Cortana. But it's a development that works in the context of Episode 6's dramatic ending. The two characters shared what amounts to a religious experience, and now they're dealing with all the hormonal aftereffects. This episode actually does a surprisingly good job of chronicling the complete rise and fall of that short-lived romance without the collapse feeling rushed or forced."

Do you object to the idea of Master Chief getting frisky? Vote in our poll and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

It's been a rough few years for Sega, in no small part due to COVID-19 forcing the shutdown of its already declining arcade businesses. Since last year, the company has been working on a strategy change to help its business become more sustainable long-term. The good news in this for fans of classic Sega games is that this means more remakes and remasters of older Sega IP.

In its annual earnings presentation for investors, Sega outlined some of its plans for the current fiscal year, which runs from April 2022 to March of 2023. One of those plans includes "multiple titles" that Sega considers "Remake/Remaster, Spin-Off/Change of theme."

Though the wording is a big clunky there, Sega gives a few helpful examples from this past year: think more games like Sonic Colors: Ultimate, Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania, or Lost Judgment. The publisher is hoping to sell five million units total from this category, up from four million this past year.

Including brand new releases, Sega is aiming to publish 13 games during that same period, up from seven this past year. We already know about Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Origins, Soul Hackers 2, Endless Dungeon, and Two Point Campus, and it's possible that 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim's Switch release last month is also being counted in that total. That would leave seven games we don't know about yet, and possibly multiple remakes or remasters.

So what might we see remade? It's hard to say, but a Sega presentation from a year ago has some clues. With the announcement of its new strategy, Sega listed a number of past IP as examples it might look at for remasters, remakes or reboot (including several we've already seen remasters or remakes of). They are:

• Crazy Taxi
• Jet Set Radio
• Space Channel 5
• Rez
• Panzer Dragoon
• NiGHTS
• Shinobi
• Virtua Fighter
• Altered Beast
• House of the Dead
• Streets of Rage
• Soul Hackers

There are no guarantees that we'll see any specific games from that list revisited -- it's just a bunch of ideas Sega was exploring as of last year. But it's nonetheless good news that Sega is willing to liberally mine its classic library as a part of its plans to grow in the coming years. Fingers crossed for more Space Channel 5, right?

Spider-Man is officially turning 60 this year, with August 2022 marking the 60th anniversary of Peter Parker's debut in Amazing Fantasy #15. Marvel Comics has announced two major new Spider-Man stories to celebrate that upcoming milestone, including the final chapter in the Spider-Verse trilogy.

First, Marvel is paying tribute to Spidey's first adventure with Amazing Fantasy #1000. This oversized anthology issue features stories from both Marvel veterans like Dan Slott, Jonathan Hickman and Rainbow Rowell, as well as newcomers like Veep creator Armando Ianucci and novelist Anthony Falcone. Even The Sandman co-creator Neil Gaiman is returning to the Marvel Universe to pen a new story.

The stories in Amazing Fantasy #1000 won't necessarily focus on the beginnings of Spidey's superhero career. Marvel teases that Slott and Jim Cheung's story will flash forward in time to explore the bond between Peter and Mary Jane, while Falcone and Michael Cho's story will introduce a new villain to Spidey's rogues gallery.

In addition to this anniversary special, Marvel is also teasing the third and final chapter in the multiverse epic that started with 2014's Spider-Verse crossover. Slott is returning for a series dubbed End of the Spider-Verse. Marvel has yet to reveal the series' artist or how many tie-in comics may be involved.

“If you ask me, it’s madness,” Slott told Polygon. “Why would they do this? WHY? They could’ve milked this spider-cash-cow for decades. That said, if you are going to do it, going all-out in a blaze of glory is definitely the way to go!”

In the meantime, Marvel is setting up this crossover with a new volume of Edge of Spider-Verse. Much like the original 2014 series, which introduced multiversal heroes like Spider-Gwen and SP//dr, the new Edge of Spider-Verse will debut five more alternate universe versions of Spider-Man. Among them are Night Spider, a version of Black Cat who was bitten by the radioactive spider, and the kilt-wearing Spider-Laird. Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at the new characters being introduced.

The first three issues of Edge of Spider-Verse will ship in August, which could suggest End of the Spider-Verse will launch as soon as September or October. Though with the animated movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse being delayed again, Marvel may opt to wait until 2023 to bring the Spider-Verse crashing down.

Are you psyched for Spider-Man's upcoming birthday bash? Let us know if you'll be reading any of these comics in the comments below.
