Star Trek Launching Animated Comedy Series from Rick and Morty Writer
CBS All Access today has announced its next original Star Trek production. Star Trek: Lower Decks will be a new half-hour animated comedy series developed by Rick and Morty writer-producer Mike McMahan. The series, which has a two-season order, will be about the support crew on "one of Starfleet’s least important ships."
A new animated Star Trek show has been rumored for months as one of the candidates in the array of possible new Trek ventures being plotted out by CBS and executive producer Alex Kurtzman, who is overseeing the entire TV franchise for the streaming service. Last summer reports emerged that Kurtzman, who is the co-creator and current showrunner of Star Trek: Discovery, had signed a five-year, $25 million deal with CBS Television Studios to create at least four new shows set in the Star Trek universe.

Daredevil: Season 3 Is a Game-Changer for Bullseye
Season 3 of Marvel’s Daredevil not only introduced iconic villain Bullseye to the Netflix MCU shows, but recreated the character from the ground up with a compelling and tragic origin, giving him a sense of substance that has been largely absent in the 50-plus years since the character first debuted in 1976’s Daredevil #131.
Warning: full spoilers for Season 3 of Daredevil ahead!
This isn’t to say Bullseye is a bad character as depicted in the comics. Far from it. While there was never much depth to his character, that didn’t stop him from being an effective foil for Daredevil. Using a wide array of unexpected objects as lethal projectiles, Bullseye was designed to be the perfect counter to a hero like Daredevil who prefers to fight up-close. Bullseye became Daredevil’s premiere villain because he became intently, obsessively focused on hurting Daredevil in the most personal ways possible; namely, taking the lives of two of Matt Murdock’s longtime love interests.
New Heroes In Crisis Clue Implicates [SPOILER]
DC’s Heroes In Crisis #2 is hitting shelves next week, but if you can't stand the wait, IGN has a preview of the first six pages to tide you over until then.
The big DC event from writer Tom King and artists Clay Mann and Mitch Gerards started with a shocking mass killing at the superhero trauma treatment center known as Sanctuary, leaving it to Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to not only find the mysterious killer, but try to pick up the pieces of the broken superhero community. The events of the first issue implicate both Booster Gold and Harley Quinn in the killings, with each character confusingly blaming the other, so now readers are trying to piece together how and why they could have done it, or who might be pulling their strings. Our preview offers a significant new clue:
