Move Over, Netflix – Marvel and Hulu are Teaming Up for The Offenders
Marvel Television and Hulu have announced a partnership that will bring four adult animated series based on Marvel characters to the streaming service.
Announced during this morning's Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour, the four series will be Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K., Hit-Monkey, the Tigra & Dazzler Show, and Howard The Duck. The four shows are set to culminate in a special called Marvel’s The Offenders. (See what they did there?)
Marvel's M.O.D.O.K. (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing) is centered around “an egomaniacal super-villain with a really big head and a really little body” who attempts to maintain control of his evil organization and family. M.O.D.O.K. is being written by Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt and produced by Jeph Loeb. M.O.D.O.K. has been featured in various Marvel comics and shows, and appeared in IGN’s top 100 comic book villains list.

First Look at Will Smith as Blue Genie in Disney’s Aladdin
A new TV spot for Disney’s upcoming live-action Aladdin, aired during the 2019 Grammy Awards, has showcased a short, first glimpse at a very blue Will Smith as Genie.
A bald but standard-appearance Smith was first seen in costume on the cover of Entertainment Weekly back in December, though the actor later clarified that the photos represented Genie in his “human/disguise” form and that his character “will be CGI most of the movie.”
Game of Thrones Actor Says Season 8 Is an ‘Honorable’ Ending
With the highly-anticipated final season of HBO's Game of Throne fast approaching, Davos Seaworth actor Liam Cunningham spoke with IGN at the TCA winter press tour about the decision to end the series after 8 seasons.
"I get asked all the time, 'What the hell are you guys thinking? You could run Game of Thrones forever.' If you want to stay cool, and the show is cool, the best way to stay cool is to not overstay your welcome," Cunningham explained. "It would be dishonorable to stay on longer than we should. There’s a portion of me that will miss it dearly, and it will probably read Liam ‘Game of Thrones’ Cunnigham on my headstone. But it was time to get out and wrap up that story… People deserve the end of that story and to not drag it out just because there’s a book to be made. I think it’s very honorable what they’re doing.”
How the Walking Dead Brought the Whisperers to Life
The Whisperers have finally arrived on The Walking Dead, and in tonight's midseason premiere, our survivors will start to realize exactly what they're dealing with following Jesus' shocking death.
We've been getting glimpses of the Whisperers - and their intimidating leader, Alpha (Samantha Morton) - in the show's promotional materials for the past couple of months, but last fall, IGN was among a group of reporters to visit the Atlanta set of The Walking Dead and see the new villains in action. We spoke to the show's executive producer, director, and special make-up effects mastermind Greg Nicotero to learn about his inspirations for the Whisperers, and it turns out, Nicotero had one of the most iconic movie villains in mind when designing their looks.
The Greatest Comic Book Movies (That Don’t Have Superheroes)
Comic book movies are big business. A look over box office receipts from the past decade or so reveals smash hit after smash hit, with superheroes handily taking spots in the top 10 earners of any given year.
But just because a film is a comic book movie, that doesn’t mean it’s a superhero movie. It’s not like all comic books have to offer are tales of superpowered beings in colorful costumes who like to get into fistfights. Indeed, there are innumerable comic books out there without a cape, mask or superpower in sight.
Comic books are not a genre but a medium, and any story can be told with said medium. One probably does not need to bring up Maus, Fun Home, or Scott McCloud's textbooks to the knowing comic book enthusiast as examples of what the format can do. We may, however, need to remind ourselves -- in this age that is deeply-saturated with superhero movies -- that comic book movies sans superheroes are still worth a look and, indeed, there are plenty to choose from. As such, let’s take a look at the 25 best comic book movies without superheroes.

When I think of places to buy a new computer, Walmart is not the first name that pops into my head. It's not even the eighth name, honestly. But if you move past the lack of association with Walmart and gaming PCs in our collective consciousnesses, it's actually a pretty great place to get good deals on gaming laptops and PCs. And if, for whatever reason, the idea of getting a laptop from Walmart doesn't sit right with you, Walmart offers surprisingly affordable extended warranties.
