  2. Photo Credit: Paramount+ Robert Patrick has opened up about his new role, Jeremiah Dunmire, in Tulsa King Season 3. The actor revealed that his character isn’t intimidated by Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi. Patrick further stated that Season 3 introduces a power dynamic, with Dwight finally coming face-to-face with a worthy opponent. Robert Patrick says Sylvester Stallone’s Dwight has finally ‘met a formidable adversary’ in Tulsa King As Tulsa King Season 3 unfolds, Robert Patrick shared that his character, Jeremiah Dunmire, isn’t afraid of Stallone’s Dwight Manfredi. Speaking about the growing tension between the two, Patrick said Dwight has “met a formidable adversary.” Patrick’s Jeremiah is introduced as a powerful and dangerous figure who is determined to seek revenge after Dwight buys a rival bourbon distillery out from under him. According to Patrick, Dwight’s attempts to intimidate Jeremiah only expose his own fear. The actor explained, “When he actually meets me, and I do give him that, and I let him know my intent: ‘Listen, you’re intruding in my life, intruding in my business like this, I’m obligated now with what I have to do? These are the next steps, and I will destroy you.’” (via TV Insider) Patrick continued, “And then I think he’s trying to work himself out of being fearful of Jeremiah by saying to him, literally, ‘You’re afraid.’” He added, “And that’s how I saw it when I read the scene: He’s trying to make me afraid, when actually, he’s really met a formidable adversary.” However, despite everything, Patrick said viewers will also see signs of Jeremiah’s weakness as the story continues. The actor stated, “I think you’ll start to see me unraveling, and then I do have some nicks in my armor that are going to be exposed, and you will start to see me be a little bit more vulnerable.” Through the first few episodes in Season 3, Jeremiah’s revenge quickly escalates. He orders his son Cole to eliminate a former business rival and later confronts Dwight directly. By Episode 3, the rivalry escalates after Cole steals back valuable barrels of bourbon from Dwight’s crew.

  3. I must admit that I’m a little surprised at the books that ended up standing out as the most notable BIPOC books being published this month. I was expecting a little more horror, given the month, though there is one book in the bonus section below that is a first-contact thriller set in the heart of the Cherokee Nation. I can’t see why any aliens would want to set foot (tentacle?) on Earth, considering how messy humans are, but hey. With that said, the books below belong to a variety of genres and eras. There’s a dystopian set in a near-future India that’s been ravaged by climate change, a medieval sapphic fantasy with a knight/witch romance, and more. A Guardian and a Thief by Megha Majumdar This National Book Award long-listed book is set in a near-future dystopian Kolkata, India, where food is scarce and climate change has wreaked havoc. Ma is this close to escaping the constant floods and lack of food by taking her aging father and her two-year-old daughter with her to become reunited with her husband in the United States. But then her painstakingly attained immigration documents are stolen, and her family’s future suddenly doesn’t feel so secure. Over a week, she sets out to find the thief and recover her things—but we find out the thief is Boomba, who is desperate to save his family, too. His crimes have been escalating, all in the name of love and survival. Both families want to survive in a world they didn’t create, that doesn’t seem to have enough for them. Minor Black Figures by Brandon Taylor Booker Prize finalist Taylor’s latest follows a Black artist from the South who is struggling a bit to find his place in the Manhattan art scene. Wyeth is navigating bad art shows, pretension, and even backstabbing as he tries to settle into a new art ecosystem. Then he meets Keating, who left the priesthood, and he begins to question the way Blackness fits into white art spaces…or rather, how it doesn’t. The Isle in the Silver Sea by Tasha Suri Here’s a new sapphic fantasy from the award-winning author of the Burning Kingdoms series! A witch and a knight fated to fall in love and be torn apart over and over must find a way to halt the cycle of their story. Meanwhile, a mysterious assassin is on the prowl, looking to permanently destroy anyone with a story like theirs. — Liberty Hardy This Is the Only Kingdom by Jaquira Díaz From the award-winning author who gave us Ordinary Girls comes a barrio-set story replete with generational grief, local Robin Hoods, and even a murder investigation. Rey el Cantante is the aforementioned local Robin Hood, who is beloved in his community. He meets Maricarmen, who starts to dream of a life outside of waitressing, cleaning houses, and the realities of living in a poverty-stricken neighborhood in Puerto Rico. But all that’s easier said than done, and she eventually finds herself bogged down with trying to ensure Rey, his brother, and their daughter Nena survive. Then one day, everything changes. Fast forward 15 years, and Maricarmen and Nena are in the middle of a murder investigation, and their community has turned against them. Nena, a teen still figuring out her sexuality, must navigate this unforgiving world, along with the loss and betrayal she’s experienced.

  4. Photo Credit: Heidi Gutman/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images Nearly a year after being involved in a three-vehicle crash, Southern Charm alum Kathryn Dennis was sentenced to prison on Friday. She has been convicted of Driving Under the Influence (DUI). The 34-year-old will serve 30 days in prison as per the conviction. Here’s what happened to Kathryn Dennis. Kathryn Dennis sentenced to 30 days in jail for driving under influence On Monday, May 20, 2024, Kathryn Dennis caused a three-vehicle crash near the intersection of US Highway 52 and Stephanie Drive in the Goose Creek area. When the authorities arrived, bystanders and witnesses informed them that Dennis was reeking of alcohol and seemed thoroughly impaired. The responding officer also noted she had “glossy eyes” (via Count On 2 News). The police found an unopened mini-Fireball bottle on the driver’s side floorboard and an empty pink tumbler. The responding officer also confirmed smelling alcohol on Dennis. She initially denied drinking or taking any medications. After this, she consented to field sobriety tests, and the officers noted that several things implied she was impaired. She later admitted to having consumed alcohol much earlier. But she refused to take medical tests and treatment. She was ultimately given a $1,475 bond. This Friday, the court sentenced her to 30 days in the Berkeley County jail. There has been no concrete statement from the star’s side yet. Before this incident, she allegedly caused a hit-and-run that generated major controversy. During the sixth season of Southern Charm, where she remained for most of her career, she admitted that she was drunk all the time. Perhaps her past controversies also played a part in this conviction. With Kathryn Dennis jailed for the next 30 days, her fans can expect to hear a statement from the reality TV star or her team pretty soon. Stay tuned.

  5. Photo Credit: Amazon Prime Video Eric Dane recently revealed that he had been diagnosed with ALS, leading to a heartfelt message from various cast members of Grey’s Anatomy. Since the revelation, many have come forward to show their support for Dane. The 52-year-old actor also revealed that this was the reason he was absent from this year’s Emmy Awards. Grey’s Anatomy cast members express support for Eric Dane Eric Dane revealed to the world that he was suffering from ALS, and his Grey’s Anatomy co-stars were the ones who were very vocal about their support for the actor. E! News reported how he missed the Emmy Awards 2025 due to his disease. Entertainment Tonight spoke to several Grey’s Anatomy stars who expressed their support for Dane amidst this difficult news. “Well, that’s just who Eric is. I reached out to him via text uh to tell him that tell him that, you know, we’re praying for him and that he’s not alone in this battle. He got back with me, and he called me Pick. He said, ‘Pick, I love you.'” James Pickens Jr said, “And I, it’s close to me as well because my longtime agent of over 35 years passed away from ALS…almost two years ago now. And I was actually with him when he disclosed his diagnosis. So it it’s it holds a very special part for me.” Kevin McKidd spoke next about Dane, and said, “I mean I’m really he his bravery is impressive. You know I’m not sure how I would deal with it honestly. I probably just you know lock myself away. I’m quite a private person. So, I’m really impressed uh by how he’s dealing with it and kind of shining a light on ALS and I just wish him all the best.” “You know, people make choices to do things in their own way. And the, you know, um, once you’re no longer on the show physically, you’re still there, right? Because that’s just the way our show works,” Chandra Wilson said, “So, bless his heart and for having that grace um, to be able to let people into his journey.” So it seems that the Grey’s Anatomy cast has been among the most affected by this news. Eric Dane continues to fight the disease and remains in the thoughts and prayers of all his fans and co-stars.

  6. October is a big month of new releases, and that includes a whole lot of titles that check off 2025 Read Harder Challenge tasks. We’re starting to get close to the end of the year, so now is the time to finalize your plans for how to complete any outstanding tasks. Hopefully, some of these books will be exactly what you were looking for. Task #1: Read a 2025 release by a BIPOC author. The Salvage by Anbara Salam When marine archeologist Marta Khoury is called to a remote Scottish isle to explore a recently uncovered Victorian shipwreck, she expects salvage to be the most interesting thing she finds. Instead, she’s snowed in as the Cuban Missile Crisis rages halfway across the globe and becomes convinced a shadowy figure stalks her every step, even as she searches for the ship’s artifacts, which have, mysteriously, disappeared. —Rachel Brittain #3: Read a queer mystery. All of Us Murderers by K.J. Charles The author of The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen brings us a fresh gothic mystery following two ex-lovers who must find some way to reconcile under the flickering gaslight of Lackaday House, where they’ve both been summoned to compete for the hand of a young bride—and all the wealth she’ll inherit. Zeb has no interest in playing into these games, but when he tries to leave, he discovers there’s no way out. In this game of love and haunted houses, winning is less important than making it out alive. —Rachel Brittain All Access members, read on for four more new books in October that complete 2025 Read Harder Challenge tasks.

  7. If you love mysteries, thrillers, and adaptations, October has a bunch of selections worth making a bucket of popcorn for! First, some housekeeping: if you saw The Savant on my September adaptations roundup and are wondering why you can’t find it, the answer is Apple TV+ decided to self-censor and pulled the show days before it premiered. The star of the show, Jessica Chastain, responded with her disagreement, as noted in Rolling Stone: “The Savant is about the heroes who work every day to stop violence before it happens, and honoring their courage feels more urgent than ever.” Variety TV critic, Aramide Tinubu, also wrote about the show: “Having watched the eight-episode series for review — which was set to be under embargo until Sept. 25 — it’s clear that “The Savant” is precisely the type of show America needs right now.” And now onto October’s scheduling: We have a blockbuster psychological thriller film, a cozy ghostly murder mystery set in Ireland, a delightful anime series for found family and spy fans, a new Mick Herron adaptation with another killer cast, a “one last heist” film, and a harrowing film about a real-life fire. Bonus: I’ve also added some great book recommendations throughout that are comps to the source material and/or the adaptations themselves. The Woman in Cabin 10 (Netflix) The Woman in Cabin 10 (Lo Blacklock #1) by Ruth Ware Almost a decade ago, Ruth Ware followed up her very successful debut —In a Dark, Dark Wood—with an even more successful psychological thriller, The Woman in Cabin 10. Set on a small luxury cruise, travel writer Lo Blackwood, swears that she witnessed the body of a woman go overboard. Problem? No one believes her. This year not only sees the adaptation release, but The Woman in Cabin 10 just got a sequel, The Woman in Suite 11, where Lo returns a decade after the first book’s timeline to be thrust into a new mystery (this time centering a luxury Swiss hotel) with some old “friends” from the first book. Netflix has adapted Ware’s book into a psychological thriller film starring Keira Knightley as Lo. Get your popcorn ready on October 10th and situate yourself on the edge of your seat. Watch the trailer here. Bonus book rec: For another remote mystery set on a ship (a cruise to Antarctica), pick up Midnight by Amy McCulloch. For a historical mystery leaning towards the cozier side, pick up A Decline in Prophets by Sulari Gentill, which starts on the R.M.S. Aquitania, a luxury liner, filled with an eclectic mix of characters. Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C (Hallmark Channel) Murder in G Major (Gethsemane Brown Mysteries #1) by Alexia Gordon Alexia Gordon wrote a delightful, and funny, cozy mystery series set in Ireland that pairs up an American music teacher with the ghost living in her house. Hallmark began adapting the series into film in 2023 with Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Murder in G Major and returns to the Hallmark channel on Sunday, October 12th at 8/7c with Buried at C. Tamera Mowry-Housley is back as boarding school music teacher Gethsemane along with her ghostly sidekick Eamon. Their case? The unexplained death of a sea captain! Spy X Family season 3 (Crunchyroll) Spy x Family, Vol. 1 by Tatsuya Endo, Casey Loe (Translator), Rina Mapa, and Jimmy Presler The manga Spy X Family is a fun series with a found family at its core, as each member needs the appearance of a family for their missions and is holding a huge secret. The truly fun element is that they each think they’re the only one with a secret. The manga series has been adapted into an anime series and the third season will be on Crunchyroll starting October 4th. Let the spying—and infiltrating of an elite school—continue! Watch the trailer here. Down Cemetery Road (Apple TV+) Down Cemetery Road (The Oxford Investigations #1) by Mick Herron Mick Herron’s Slow Horses adaptation is such a hit (it’s fantastic) that it was really in Apple TV+’s best interest to take another swing at adapting one of his series. Down Cemetery Road moves from the spy genre to domestic and PI thriller with a housewife who becomes obsessed with what happened to a little girl after her parents died in a house explosion. I’m going to assume that the adaptation creators are keeping the dark humor formula, as they certainly kept the excellent casting formula: Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson will play the housewife and the PI she hires. You can start watching the first two episodes in the series on October 29th. Watch the trailer here. The Lost Bus (Apple TV+) Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire by Lizzie Johnson Lizzie Johnson, a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, wrote a book about one of the deadliest fires in the US, which wiped out an entire town in Paradise, California, in November 2018. The Lost Bus is a harrowing film that feels like a thriller based on events in the book. It stars America Ferrera and Matthew McConaughey portraying real-life people Mary Ludwig (a school teacher) and Kevin McKay (a bus driver) who worked together to save a bus full of children and escape the inferno. You can now stream the film on Apple TV+. Watch the trailer here. Bonus book rec: If you want fire as a character in a procedural with a past and present mystery, pick up Jane Harper’s The Dry (there’s an adaptation film starring Eric Bana). Play Dirty (Amazon Prime) The Hunter by Richard Stark The Parker novels by Richard Stark (pen name for Donald E. Westlake) are a 24-book classic crime series set in 1950s New York, where Parker is a “pro thief, expert robber” set on revenge. The adapted film starring Mark Wahlberg and LaKeith Stanfield follows Parker in his quest for revenge, which is what leads him into the major heist (sunken treasure!) trope. There’s distrustful partners, the NY mob, and a mismatched heist crew! Stream it now on Amazon Prime video. Watch the trailer here. Bonus book recs: if you’re looking for the “one last heist” trope, I’ve got a great list for you here: Assemble a Crew: 8 “One Last Heist” Mystery and Thriller Books If you’d like to see previous roundups for 2025’s mystery, thriller, and true crime adaptations, you can find them here.

  8. No one will deny that censorship is a hot-button topic, but the word itself conjures so many huge feelings that there’s a danger of the meaning being lost. The ACLU tells us that censorship, the suppression of words, images, or ideas that are “offensive,” happens whenever some people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others. As adults, it’s fair to want to be able to make a majority of those calls for ourselves. How does this right change when we’re talking about kids? In a perfect world, things would be withheld from kids solely based on a deep understanding of child development, a neutral political stance, and a willingness to grapple with nuance daily. The world is far from perfect, and book bans in particular are more often about erasure than protection. Kelly Jensen, an author and Book Rioter who has done extensive work on covering the rise of censorship and book banning in the United States, offers an excellent primer on explaining book bans to adults who want to understand. This is a powerful starting point, but adjustment is needed to help kids, especially those in elementary school, understand the concept of censorship. Bring in the books about censorship for kids! I’ve gathered a few titles that deal with banning books, which is a tangible way that censorship affects our youngest citizens. These books deal less with what kinds of things should or shouldn’t be banned and more with the idea that one person cannot decide what is right for everyone, and that the feeling of being left out or erased is something that should be spoken about. Raising children of every belief and value with those two truths will go a long way in fighting harmful censorship. 3 Books About Censorship for Kids This Book Is Banned: A Delightfully Silly Picture Book by Raj Haldar and Julia Patton If you’re looking to start a conversation about censorship for kids, start here. The word “silly” in the title is key, and “delightful” is in the right place, as well. Compared to the classic The Monster At The End of This Book, this story breaks the fourth wall in a panic as topic after topic is banned from its pages. The takeaway is that one person can’t decide what is right for everyone, but the book avoids any preachy tones with its hijinks and hilarity. The Day the Books Disappeared by Joanna Ho, Caroline Kusin Pritchard, and Dan Santat This fun and funny picture book deals with the controversial idea that planes are the absolute best and really only necessary reading material. Arnold cannot understand why anyone would want to read about anything else! When a magic power lets him disappear books that he doesn’t think are interesting, he sees that before very long, even his own favorites might go POOF! Ho, Pritchard, and Santat pair their kid-friendly message about appreciating different perceptions with a letter for adults about championing books of all kinds. Roar for Reading by Beth Ferry and Andrew Joyner A lion named Julius helps kids ROAR for books by reminding them they can stand up for what they believe in. Books are being banned at Julius’s local library, and he is ready to be a protector of the stories! This clever book features fun Easter eggs for adults (look for book puns and parodies in the illustrations) and helpful back matter, including an acronym (“Recognize. Organize. Act. Respect.”) that is a call to action. Hopefully, you’ve found a starting point in these books about censorship for kids. Happy reading! View the full article
  9. Anybody who knows me knows that I have a lot of feelings, and I am very keen on feeling all of them. They help me move through the world. It was a strange experience to read Almond because our protagonist Yunjae is not like me. He has a brain condition called Alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel any emotions. His amygdalae are different from most of us. They make it difficult for him to feel pain, know danger or joy, speak to people, or make friends. Because he does not feel like the rest of us, he has nothing to guide him through interactions with others. His mother and grandmother work relentlessly to teach him the rules of the social world. She hopes to make life easier for her little boy. Almond by Won-Pyung Sohn, translated by Sandy Joosun Lee Yunjae does not know anybody who is anything like him. But his mother and grandmother are always by his side. In a truly tragic incident, that shifts too. He is pushed further into isolation. Meanwhile, due to another fateful turn of events, Gon joins his school. Unlike Yunjae, Gon has a lot of feelings, mostly of rage, that he is very expressive with. He starts to bully Yunjae, expecting the satisfaction of getting to his victim. But Yunjae cannot give Gon what he wants. Slowly, the two boys start to spend more time together. Neither of them understands the other, but a familiarity starts to develop anyway. This content is for members only. Visit the site and log in/register to read.View the full article
  10. Abandoned when her Omen stain appeared, Sozo survives by hiding her curse—a rare gift her mentor Esp needs to infiltrate the deadly Decade Race of Stars. The prize: a wish for anything. Esp dreams of reshaping the world, and Sozo convinces herself the risk is worth it. But concealing her monstrous side grows harder, especially after meeting Naqi, whose friendship awakens doubts. As dangers mount, Sozo must decide: fight for Esp’s dream, protect Naqi, or claim the wish for herself—even if it costs everything. We all know the hero’s journey. We’ve had tales of chosen ones since the beginning of our own stories and myths. A sword in a stone: whoever pulls it out will be the king who unites England. A young, seemingly weak, poor boy succeeds in doing it. He rises to become the greatest king that’s ever been—but he has a connection that he can’t shake with the dark forces, the fae, and temptations that threaten to lead him astray. Chosen-one tales are threaded throughout our fantasy and science fiction history, from Ursula K. Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea and Ged’s young power to George R.R. Martin’s Prince Who Was Promised. Some tell us from the beginning who the chosen one is; others let us wonder and speculate. And all of them play on essential questions that humanity finds fascinating. Is our life predestined or chosen? Are great leaders born or are they made? All of the chosen-one novels below play in some way with these questions, while painting fantastic and compelling worlds for our protagonists to work their way through. She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan It’s 1345, and Zhu Chongba and her brother know their destinies. She is given a fate of nothingness. He is given a fate of greatness. But when bandits attack their family and her brother is killed, the girl makes a decision. She refuses her destiny. She takes on the identity of Zhu Chongba, and his fate with it. Rising through the ranks of the monastery, Zhu learns to play the game of politics and gender, and her determination to survive quickly becomes a desire to be a power that will help reclaim the empire itself from the Mongols who rule it. The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna In Deka’s village, when people come of age, they take part in a blood ceremony. The color of their blood decides whether they’ll be part of their village or not. And hers runs gold—meaning she’s forced out. Devastated, she stumbles onto a group of girls just like her. Gold blood, a woman tells her, is a sign that she’s one of the alaki, semi-immortal women whose incredible powers make them the only chance anyone has to defeat a huge, looming threat that is coming to threaten them all. A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik Scholomance is a school for people with magic to learn how to use it. Ever-shifting and incredibly dangerous, the school operates on an unusual model: at the end of your fourth year, either you survive the rush of monsters and dark forces and graduate, or you die. El is unlikable and grating, and she has an incredibly dark gift, based in curses, so she isn’t exactly popular among her classmates. But slowly, she and unexpected ally, golden-boy Orion, start to realize that there’s a way to fix what’s broken in Scholomance—and they might have to do it, for anyone at the school to have a fighting chance. Legendborn by Tracy Deonn Bree just wants to get away from home when she goes to UNC for a pre-college program. But when she runs into a secret society of students reportedly descended from the Round Table knights themselves, she’s thrown into a world of magic, demons, and the battles between good and evil. Meanwhile, an ex-member wants her help to investigate the group. Naturally, nothing is quite as it seems, and Bree is forced to try and decide whether to believe the Legendborn or make her own calls about what feels right. Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor Sunny is albino, and often outcast as a result. But then she learns that she is a Leopard Person, with magical abilities, and that she can become invisible, shift time, and possibly even see visions of the future. Okorafor’s world of giant red grasshoppers, sculpting wasps, and much more is absolutely fascinating. Sunny and her friends deal with classic young-adult nonsense right alongside their magical training and a new maybe-threat to everyone, a vision of disaster that only Sunny may be able to stop. The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline In a dystopian Canada, people have completely lost the ability to dream—and are slowly but surely going insane as a result. In the midst of all this, white people discover that indigenous bone marrow could save them, and quickly, Native Americans are being hunted. Frenchie and his group have been on the run from the Recruiters for a long time, but they discover that one of their talents might actually be able to take the whole process down. This book subverts the chosen-one trope in a lot of ways, emphasizing collective resistance and memory. Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi The West African–inspired world of Orïsha used to thrum with magic. But then one night, it all disappeared; a tyrant had all maji murdered. But princess Amari has found a scroll that she thinks has a way to bring the magic back; Zélie Adebola, a young seer, is chosen by the gods to help in her quest; and Inan, the heir to the throne, must decide what side he’s on. In some ways, all three protagonists are chosen ones, and this book is action-packed as they try to take down the rigid racist system that King Saran has imposed. Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim Shiori has magic she shouldn’t have. In this book that mixes Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Wild Swans” with Chinese folklore, she lets her magic leak out; her stepmother tells her that if she speaks of it, one of her brothers will die, every time. Shiori is cast out and lost, trying to find her brothers and realizing more and more that she’s destined to do much more. She has the power to save the entire kingdom from dark forces with the help of a sea dragon named Seryu. Can’t get enough fantasy?

  11. Jack Boniface is having a weird day. He swears he can sense things moving in the shadows on the campus of NYU. Below New Orleans, Freda—among the most beloved voodoo gods—is missing, causing a power struggle that spills over into the human world. When an unexpected death brings Jack back to New Orleans, he finds a city in violent uproar, and finds he is heir to the mantle of Shadowman, tasked with maintaining the delicate balance of power between the Deadside and the real world. With the fate of both worlds hanging in the balance, a new Shadowman is rising. Jack just hopes it’s not from the ashes of his city. Oh, superheroes and I go way back. Like, further than that. They were what first made me a fan of comic books in the early 90s. As much as I dig all sorts of comics now, I still come back to superheroes all the time. And wouldn’t you know it, there are always great new superhero comics hitting shelves every week. What makes a great superhero comic? Iconic characters always help. Great action, witty banter, deep dialog, and stories that have more to say than one superpowered person punching another. Above all that, though, a great creative team will always get me to grab those glossy pages. And if we’re talking new, then I’m bringing you nothing but first issues. October has barely begun, and already, there are a slew of great new superhero comics on and coming soon to your local comic book shop. Here are six that you need to add to your pull list.

This time? She’s Binary plus the Phoenix Force. With all this godlike power, what’s she to do? She wants to save what little is left of the universe, even if she won’t survive to see it. Justice League: The Omega Act Special #1 by Joshua Williamson, Yasmine Putri This one-off special is the beginning of the end. Well, the end of the DC All-In event that’s been running for a year.

But can he get to them in time? Return to Planet Hulk #1 by Greg Pak, Carlo Pagulayan Yep, one of the greatest superheroes, Hulk, is back on Sakaar, also known as Planet Hulk.

Rogue Storm #1 by Murewa Ayodele, Roland Boschi As part of the Age of Revelation crossover event, this alternate future paints Storm as the lone, vengeful goddess driven mad by magic and grief. Rogue has gathered her group of uncanny mutants with one goal: take down Storm. Can she do it? Can she find her old friend beneath all that pain? It’s hero vs hero in this great superhero comic. Super Creepshow #1 by Dan Watters, Carmine Di Giandomenico, Ryan Stegman, Riley Rossmo, Ed Brisson, Andrei Bressan First off, props for the Dark Knight Returns homage cover. In this one-off, three different creative teams tell three stories of one of Image Comics’ greatest superheroes: Creepshow. Funerals gone wrong, murder mysteries, and the wrong person getting a super soldier serum make for a fun trio of stories. White Tiger: Reborn #1 by Daniel Jose Older, Cynthia Pelayo, Moises Hidalgo This character is fresh off appearing in Daredevil Reborn, but not like this. Ava Ayala is the newest White Tiger, holding the amulet of power and seeking to protect her neighborhood. But a new mystery comes to the forefront, one that makes Ava confront her family’s past, including her dead brother Hector, the original White Tiger.

  13. As both a horror reader and romance reader, I love a good horroromance. In the autumn, when the wind picks up and the smell of cinnamon seems to permeate everything, there’s nothing like settling down with a book that’s both scary and romantic. Do these two oppositional genres actually go together, though? Gothic Romances set the stage for romance novels and horror with their eerie settings and supernatural elements. For those who only read horror or romance, it might be difficult to see how the two can actually work together, but horroromance works because the building tension of horror is similar to the building tension of romance. It’s the will-they-won’t they while being hunted by a monster. It’s fear and hope at once. For both genres, the pacing has to be immaculate. Suspense keeps the horror feeling real for the characters and the reader. Common tropes of romance novels, like enemies to lovers or forbidden love, work with emotions necessary in horror, like fear, disgust, and anxiety. There might not be a definitive happily ever after, but horroromance offers readers a unique chance to explore fears and romantic ideals. The Possession of Alba Díaz by Isabel Cañas In 18th-century Mexico, Alba flees with her fiancé Carlos to his family mine to escape the plague. Soon, Alba begins to suffer from terrifying hallucinations and sleepwalking, with the feeling of something crawling under her skin. Carlos’ broody cousin, Elías, finds himself drawn to Alba as she struggles. Tension rises between Elías and Alba as the being inside Alba fights for power. This content is for members only.

  14. Photo Credit: Netflix Monster: The Ed Gein Story is the third season of the crime drama anthology series co-created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. This season, which focuses on the story of American serial killer Ed Gein, raised a lot of questions among fans and viewers. One prominent question that comes up repeatedly is whether Ed Gein had anything to do with the capture of Ted Bundy. Let’s take a look at what the ending means and the truth behind Ted Bundy’s capture. Did Ed Gein help authorities capture Ted Bundy? The final episode of Monster: The Ed Gein Story may have led viewers to think that Ed Gein helped arrest Ted Bundy. However, in reality, he had nothing to do with Bundy’s capture. The final episode, titled “The Godfather,” follows FBI agents investigating a case related to a new serial killer. As the episode progresses, it is revealed that the serial killer is none other than the infamous Ted Bundy. They first question Jerry Brudos in prison, who then leads them to Gein. They decide to visit Gein to talk to him about it. Eventually, Gein helps out a sheriff with a clue that leads to the capture of Ted Bundy. Due to this, some viewers remain confused after the end, wondering whether Ed Gein really helped capture Ted Bundy. However, the events of the final episode seem to represent Gein’s schizophrenic personality and his inability to tell fact from fiction. His belief that he helped authorities catch a killer highlights the depth of his insanity and mental illness. In reality, Ted Bundy was arrested during an attempt to evade a patrol car that pulled him over for driving a stolen vehicle. Bundy was executed in January 1989. While speaking to Netflix’s Tudum about the ending, co-creator Ian Brennan spoke about how Gein’s dark legacy influenced the world. “It’s the most tonally challenging part of the show to me in that he’s not horrified by it,” Brennan said, adding, “He sort of loves the fact that he made a mark.” The post Monster Season 3 Ending Makes Fans Question if Ed Gein Helped Capture Ted Bundy appeared first on ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.

  15. Photo Credit: Ben Symons/PEACOCK via Getty Images Following Love Island Games’ Season 2 finale, viewers are wondering if the show has been renewed for Season 3. As a successful spin-off of the Love Island series, fans are expecting the show to see more seasons. But has the show been renewed, though? Here are all the details so far on the show’s future. Has Peacock canceled Love Island Games or renewed it for Season 3? Currently, Peacock, the streaming site, has neither renewed nor canceled Love Island Games for Season 3. But considering the show’s extreme popularity, it is highly likely that it will return with more seasons. Audience reception and viewership numbers are key factors of potential renewal. For the uninitiated, Love Island Games is a reality competition series on Peacock. It brings together popular contestants from various international versions of the Love Island franchise. The show combines elements of dating and physical challenges, where participants compete in games to win the ultimate cash prize of $100,000. The series also brings back Maya Jama as the host, who has been hosting the British version of Love Island since Season 9. The show featured intense competitions and romantic developments that kept the series endlessly entertaining. With the conclusion of Season 2, viewers were left plenty to talk about. In the Season 2 finale, the show featured two challenges. The first one was the Towers of Trust, a mental game where couples moved discs between poles based on their size, and the second, The Heist, a physical and mental contest involving collecting money bags with dedicated points assigned. Justine Ndiba and Tyrique Hyde won the first challenge, but Isaiah Campbell and Lucinda Strafford ultimately outlasted the competition in the final rounds. In the end, Isaiah and Lucinda were crowned the Love Island Games Season 2 winners. After winning, the other eliminated Islanders voted for who deserved the entire $250,000 prize, and Isaiah received the most votes. However, he chose to split the prize equally with Lucinda, with both taking home $125,000.

  16. Photo Credit: ABC General Hospital fans are in a frenzy after recent episodes hinted that Britt may have orchestrated Nathan‘s supposed death. Viewers are now questioning whether his demise was real or just another twist in the soap’s long-running drama. Social media is buzzing with theories, with fans dissecting every scene for clues. Some believe Britt’s actions point to a darker side, while others think Nathan’s return is fake and an imposter. As tensions rise in Port Charles, check out all the latest audience theories made so far. General Hospital fans believe the Nathan who returned ‘is a nice guy’ General Hospital enthusiasts have long maintained hope that Nathan’s return is real and signifies a redemptive storyline. Numerous viewers are eager for Nathan to be the kind, dependable character they know — someone who exemplifies compassion, loyalty, and integrity (via Soap Hub). Despite the intrigue and enigma surrounding his comeback, fans believe in the “nice guy” persona. Their trust in his fundamental goodness provides them with something to hold onto amidst the chaos of deceit and mistrust in Port Charles. The theory of the “nice Nathan” hypothesis cites his interactions with other characters as proof. They hold that even if there are hidden truths, his essence appears too sincere to overlook. But on the flip side, many others strongly disagree. In online discussions, fans have pointed out moments where Britt casts doubts on Nathan, declines enthusiastic hugs, or seems to believe something is off. Britt, however, was not at all pleased to see her brother. Yet, General Hospital fans were quick to observe Britt’s treatment of Nathan and took to social media to voice their opinions. One X (formerly Twitter) user remarked, “Why is Britt looking at Nathan like this? What is going on? Is that really him?” A Facebook user commented on this theory and shared their perspective on Nathan still being the good guy, suggesting that Britt might be the one who faked his death by stating, “Ok so hear me out!! What if he actually is a nice guy he’s not coming back as anybody other than himself, and Brit is the one that faked his death and is worried about getting caught ?!?!?! I mean this scene really seemed genuine with James!! I really don’t want Nathan to be a bad guy.” The post General Hospital Fans Debate if Britt Faked Nathan’s Death appeared first on ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.

  18. Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images for FLC Rose Byrne shared her thoughts about the possibility of a sequel to 2015’s Spy. Following the movie’s success 10 years ago, there has been very little news about a follow-up movie. But considering what Byrne had to say about it, fans may have to wait a lot longer before a sequel materializes. Rose Byrne expresses interest in Spy sequel During a recent interview with ET at the New York Film Fest, Rose Byrne was asked why there hasn’t been a Spy sequel yet. “Let’s get it started, I agree. I think there was supposed to be one in the works, but it never eventuated,” Byrne revealed. “I love that film. It’s been rediscovered more and more. People have come up to me and gone, ‘I really love that movie.’ It’s an absolute, like, treasure. It’s such a fun watch. [Jason] Statham’s so funny. It’s like, my husband’s in it—Bobby [Cannavale]. It’s so funny.” When asked if she had a pitch for Paul Feig, the writer and director of the original movie, Byrne responded humorously, saying, “I’m going to get one. Tonight’s the night. I’m going to try to come up with one tonight. That’s going to be my goal.” The movie was received well in terms of both box office numbers and audience reviews. Given its success and popularity, fans expected it to become a franchise. While the actress has expressed her interest, there has been no official news about a sequel even after 10 years of its release. Released in 2015, Spy is a slapstick comedy with Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne, Jude Law, and Jason Statham in the lead roles. The story follows Susan Cooper, a desk-bound CIA analyst who assists field agent Bradley Fine remotely. When Fine is killed on a mission involving a stolen nuclear device, Susan volunteers to go undercover to track down the arms dealer’s daughter, Rayna. Despite being inexperienced in the field, Susan undertakes the mission with support from her friend Nancy.

On Sunday, October 5, 2025, Van Dyke, along with his wife, Arlene Silver, hosted the Vandy High Tea. This is an event that raises funds to benefit The Van Dyke Endowment of the Arts and the Dick Van Dyke Museum. In this event, Dick led the crowd into singing Happy Birthday for a young fan, Tristian, who had his sixth birthday on the day. Arriving all the way from Connecticut to see Van Dyke live, the child clutching the Bert and Mary Poppins dolls seemed to have his prayers answered. Apart from Happy Birthday, Dick also performed Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, along with the theme of The Dick Van Dyke Show. He had previously canceled an appearance months back due to health issues, but he seemed to be in a good state this time around. “He was so sharp, was in great health and said he’s feeling good,” an onlooker told PEOPLE, “He was laughing almost the entire time and couldn’t have enjoyed himself more.” This event took place at the Vandy Manor, the home of Van Dyke and Silver. It was produced by Chris Isaacson Presents and hosted by Stu Shostak. Moreover, apart from the entertainment, guests enjoyed sandwiches and desserts from Monrose Catering, alongside a variety of refreshments. This latest development will make fans of Dick Van Dyke very happy. Moreover, many will hope that the actor celebrates his own 100th birthday with equal zeal.

  20. Photo Credit: HBO Task continues to dive into various shocking twists and turns, while exploring complex themes, and Episode 5 has revealed who the Dark Hearts mole in the FBI was — bringing a big change to the narrative moving forward. Helmed by Brad Ingelsby, the story is set against the backdrop of a working-class society in Philadelphia. It follows Tom Brandis, a priest-turned-FBI agent who leads a task force in stopping a string of robberies — spearheaded by Robbie Prendergrast, an unassuming family man. Tom and Robbie also deal with various lingering issues in their personal life. So, who is the mole in Task Episode 5? Here’s everything you need to know. Task Episode 5 shows Anthony Grasso as the mole in Tom Brandis’ team Task Episode 5 reveals that Anthony Grasso is the mole in Tom Brandis’ team working for the Dark Hearts. Grasso’s status as a mole is revealed when he meets with Jayson to get Ray’s phone back. Grasso was the mole who had given Ray’s phone to the Dark Hearts, who gave him a fake phone, thus alerting the latter to the FBI’s sting operation to capture Cliff, allowing them to foil it — and lure Cliff to a trap, where he is suffocated to death by Jayson. It is implied that Grasso has been working for the Dark Hearts for some time before joining Tom’s team. The revelation of Grasso as a mole finally confirms the long-running theory fans had about the same. This theory has been running since Episode 3, where Grasso acted pretty cagey and suspicious. Grasso’s shady behavior — accentuated by how he didn’t reveal much about himself — was displayed in two instances. One was him bailing on his date with Lizzie without explaining why. The other was him delivering a speech where he was cynical towards the police force. Elsewhere, Task Episode 5 features the first interaction between Mark Ruffalo’s Tom Brandis and Tom Pelphrey’s Robbie Prendergrast, after a build-up of four episodes. Robbie takes Tom hostage and forces him to drive off. During their drive, the pair has a deep conversation about struggles in their respective lives. The episode ends with them holding each other at gunpoint. Task airs new episodes every Sunday on HBO at 9 p.m. Eastern Time (ET).

  26. Photo Credit: Netflix Nearly 50 years after Ed Gein’s shocking crimes came to light, the Netflix series Monster: The Ed Gein Story has reignited curiosity about the Wisconsin killer’s alleged romantic partner, Adeline Watkins. Played by The Idol actress Suzanna Son, Watkins is shown as a woman who saw kindness in one of America’s most infamous murderers, but her real-life story is far more complicated. Who was Monster: The Ed Gein Story’s Adeline Watkins? Adeline Watkins was a 50-year-old woman from Plainfield, Wisconsin, who became a surprising part of the Ed Gein case following his arrest in 1957. While the world reeled from the horrors discovered inside Gein’s farmhouse — furniture, masks, and clothing made from human remains — Watkins stepped forward, claiming she had been romantically involved with him for two decades. Watkins described Gein to The Minneapolis Tribune as “good and sweet and kind.” She and her mother both painted a picture of a polite man who enjoyed movies and milkshakes more than taverns or nightlife. Watkins even claimed that Gein once proposed to her in 1955, two years before his arrest, but she turned him down, not out of fear, but because she felt unworthy of him. Their supposed connection fascinated the public, offering a softer contrast to Gein’s monstrous image. What did Adeline Watkins say about Ed Gein? Initially, Watkins told reporters that she and Gein shared a 20-year romance, recalling evenings at the movies and late-night conversations about books. She emphasized his intelligence and sensitivity, saying they often discussed world topics and even analyzed murder cases they read about. However, as media attention exploded, Watkins quickly retracted her claims. In a statement to The Plainfield Sun, she clarified that her relationship with Gein was purely platonic. Basically, he was a “quiet and polite” acquaintance who occasionally visited her home or accompanied her to the theater. Watkins insisted that she never described him as “sweet” or said she had to “drag him into taverns,” suggesting her earlier remarks were exaggerated or misquoted. (via People) She admitted she felt sorry for Gein but firmly denied being his sweetheart, as per reports. Whether Watkins fabricated parts of her story for attention or was misunderstood by the press remains uncertain, but her brief involvement made her a lasting part of Ed Gein’s story.
