SPOILERS AHEAD
The Story:
I wasn’t familiar with Boston AKA The Deadman, at all; I headed into this. I loosely knew of him; however, seeing the team from titles such as Ice Cream Man and The Kryptonite Spectrum on the run had me intrigued off the bat. They do an amazing job of giving this story a lighthearted tone and making it inviting as we join Boston for just another day on the job of being a Soul Custodian. We’re quickly caught up to speed on how it works and that he is math-driven and, of course, often late. What stood out to me was Prince’s ability to keep the story light; however, there were quick glimpses into a much more sinister story unfolding, giving the reader just a taste of how dark this has the ability to become.
The Art and Letters:
I’m a sucker for gags within the art, and Morazzo and O’Halloran have a fun moment where they make Boston appear to turn a page and break the fourth wall. If you’re unfamiliar with the duo they invite us into. a quirky art style that’s built for this exact kind of story. The soft colors mixed in with eccentric and sometimes off-putting facial features of their characters fit a world full of the undead perfectly. The moments where Boston is shown to be a ghost were detailed very well and brought this ghastly tale to life in a fun manner.
Final Thoughts:
The Deadman #1 brings us into a world full of the undead and really into a whole other world entirely. If you’re looking to leap into a character that you are unfamiliar with, I can promise you this first issue is a must-grab!
Being a pansexual transwoman in the nerd space can be rather daunting, let alone being a transwoman in general. Outside of DC’s Coagula or Milestone’s Masquerade, trans-people haven’t exactly had a lot of representation in comics or manga. However, in recent years, that’s really started to change. “Dream Girls: A DC Pride Event” by writers Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Maines is living proof of that, as they used their experiences to create this beautiful piece of work. With a backup “Batwoman” story by legend Greg Rucka, this is truly a Pride comic for the ages!

Transformative Storytelling
In today’s day and age, putting out a book like this takes a lot of spunk and courage. Two things that writers Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Maines have in spades, letting them shine throughout this entire comic. From the humor to the character writing and tense dramatic moments, the two of them just get it. In my recent talk with them, we discussed their writing process at length, detailing the back-and-forth through Google Docs and in-depth discussions between besties. The relationship due to commonality is one that can only be lived to be understood, and it’s represented beautifully here.
When it comes to the aforementioned humorous and dramatic moments, the two are balanced near-perfectly, almost completely seamless in parts. There’s one page in particular, involving Galaxy, where I had to put the book down for a second to let myself have a good cry. Without spoiling too much, the page gives readers a lesson that rings true for all minorities and our fight. Just mere moments before, I was laughing hysterically from a line delivered by Dreamer.

To cap things off in this issue is Greg Rucka’s smaller “Batwoman” story. What I personally loved about it was that, for a brief moment, Kate was allowed to just live. Taking a night off, she finds potential love at a LGBTQ+ event in a bar. In just a few pages, Rucka manages to pull readers into this blossoming relationship, one that’s sure to light up the next issue of the main “Batwoman” run!
A Galaxy Beyond
When it comes to the art in this book, there really seems to have been a page taken out of Peach Momoko’s playbook, as several queer artists and colorists brought their own flavors to this stellar dream team. Each part of the story truly stood out from the last but also blended seamlessly and all looked absolutely amazing. Every artist and colorist here poured their heart and soul into these pages, and it shows.
When it comes to the artwork, the Bruce Timm-inspired pages are the absolute stand out to me. I immediately got hit with this massive wave of nostalgia and for the setting, it worked incredibly well. The styling was complimented beautifully by the color design, playfully bringing in the aesthetics of our two main characters in a very interesting way. All in all, out of this world work from the entire art & color team!

Final Thoughts
Where can I even begin here? Everyone worked their magic and put their hearts and souls onto these pages. This is, without a doubt, one of the best comics I’ve read all year. I laughed, cried and felt represented in a way I never have before. Representation like this is what we need right now and I’m ecstatic for the ride ahead.
Final Grade: 10/10

We now know they were in fact teasing a coffee popup in London for SXSW London:

Yes, the internet sleuths thought these were teasing a possible Doomsday teaser. It still seems weird that the film is out in November and we haven’t seen a full teaser trailer for it yet. The Russos also stopped by Deadline’s SXSW London studio and gave an update on both Doomsday and Secret Wars:
Now, I get SDCC is next month, and that Marvel is most likely doing a Hall H Panel and will show the teaser trailer there. But it would make way more sense to already have the teaser online for fans to watch and react to. The whole waiting for a major event to drop the teaser at is at the point where, eventually, someone is going to leak the trailer online, and it will ruin the enjoyment for a lot of people. Hopefully, Marvel gets this teaser online sometime soon so everyone can watch it.
At Playstation’s State of Play, we got our first look at Marvel’s Wolverine, and to say it already looks like a banger would be an understatement.
Starting off with a bang, here’s the full extended gameplay trailer of Marvel’s Wolverine!
Here’s what Playstation had to say about the trailer –
“Let’s not mince words: Marvel’s Wolverine is a brutal, violent, and action-packed single-player adventure from our team at Insomniac Games, in collaboration with Marvel Games. It cuts deeper than claw combat alone, with an emotionally charged original story centered on a comic book icon: James “Logan” Howlett, aka Wolverine.
To set up our Extended Gameplay Trailer, Logan is tailing a group of mutants that have been hunted and captured by the Reavers, a guns-for-hire cybernetic militia. The Reavers have plans to deliver the mutants to their client, Bolivar Trask – a billionaire industrialist driven by a fanatical belief in human superiority. We also introduce another major player in Logan’s journey: Jean Grey, a powerful telekinetic and emergent leader of the captured mutants.

The situation is dire and help is limited. Mutants live in the shadows fearful of those hunting them, while the rest of society lives unaware of their existence. The only ones potentially capable of protecting their own is Team X, a last-stand mutant task force facing its darkest hour, which Logan rejoins after leaving three years prior. For the mutants, the fight for survival is theirs alone.
Provided at Playstation State of Play
In his search for the mutants, Logan crosses paths with unsuspecting Reavers. They’re armed to the teeth with advanced technology, equipped with lethal weapons and cybernetic implants. They’re ready for a fight… but so is Wolverine. He can stalk enemies, ambush from above, or shred through them with fast, fluid, and brutal claw attacks.
Drawn in by a frantic plea for help, Logan and Jean are compelled to team up against Trask’s hired guns, and they prove to be more than capable. Logan can carve into foes with special combat moves called “Techniques” such as the Tornado Spin and Bull Rush. Meanwhile, Jean obliterates enemies with her powerful telekinetic abilities, which presents a few opportunities for Critical Strikes. These are devastating finishing moves that Wolverine can execute solo or with other characters; they’re takedown opportunities worth looking out for during a frenzied fight.

Every successful attack, parry, and kill will build up Logan’s Rage. This allows for stronger attacks or activating his Healing Factor to survive grievous body damage. If Logan’s Rage is pushed too far, he can unleash Rage Tier 3: a stylized monochromatic explosion of savagery inspired by Marvel Comics’ Black, White, and Blood series.
The overwhelmed Reavers retreat. But Logan can take this fight to go. In one of many set pieces, Wolverine tears through the highway on a motorcycle where he can take out trucks, slash tires, and hurl enemies off the road. He also leaps to different vehicles fighting anything the Reavers throw at him, including powerful Brutes. Bloodied, battered, and on the brink of defeat? Wolverine can channel his rage and kick into Last Stand to activate his Healing Factor; he can live to fight another day and show everyone why he’s the best there is.
Provided at Playstation State of Play
Additionally, we’re delighted to confirm that Marvel’s Wolverine will feature a comprehensive list of accessibility options at launch. It’s a longstanding part of our development process at Insomniac Games to create features that provide assistance for players with cognitive, visual, auditory, and motor disabilities.”

With all that we’ve seen, and all the time we’ve waited, our excitement is through the roof! The trailer has us hooked already. This has been long awaited and a long time coming and us Wolverine fans can finally rejoice that it’s just around the corner!
Let us know in the comments how excited you are for the game!
Friendships take work. Like any other relationship, friendships need to be nurtured and tended to. They’re also very fragile regardless of how long a friendship has lasted. A hard truth that Alice and Steve found out the hardway. The new Hulu series, ‘Alice and Steve,’ takes a darkly comedic look at those relationships and what it takes for them to implode…spectacularly…at a dinner party. While ‘Alice and Steve’ is not without it’s flaws, it’s also a hilarious look at aging and friendship, particularly the role our friends play in our lives as we get older. ‘Alice and Steve’ with all of it’s humor and wit will most certainly be one of this years breakout hit shows.
Alice and Steve have been friends for a really long time. Though they dated briefly, their romance was better suited as a friendship. That is, of course, until Steve, after a night out with Alice, hooks up with Alice’s 26 year old daughter. Chaos naturally ensues. ‘Alice and Steve’ is a darkly hilarious look at friendship, getting old, and the trials that test our closest relationships. It will be this summers must see TV.

Friendship Requires Chemistry
Friendships take chemistry. For a show about friends to connect and feel authentic with audiences, the cast members MUST have at least a modicum of chemistry. Fortunately, what ‘Alice and Steve’ absolutely nails is cast chemistry. Jermaine Clement and Nicola Walker are a laugh riot. The way that they play off of and with each other is exactly the type of cast interactions that any showrunner would dream of. When their characters are at their most vulnerable and angriest, Clement and Walker are at their best. Walker lands barbs with venomous accuracy and, to his credit, Clement’s Steve takes his licks until things progress too far. There were genuine times when I sat with this show and had to rewind because of how hard I was laughing. It’s that kind of funny.
Clement and Walker are not the only stars, however. The supporting cast each get their moments to shine, providing a grounding sense of drama to the level of chaos created by Alice and Steve’s antics. Yali Topol Margalith is a fresh of breath air, playing the level headed, driven, Izzy. There are moments where you can see Izzy struggling with who she is due to her age and Margalith protrays that magnificently. Being young and making adult decisions can feel impossible, Margalith nails that aspect of the human experience. Joel Fry, who many will recognize from ‘Game of Thrones,’ plays the straight man with the best of them. Daniel’s role is not necessarily to be funny, but to be grounded in love and reality, but Fry definitely lets his comedic chops shine.

Friendship Is A Rocky Road
As with friendships, plotlines and TV shows can be complicated too. ‘Alice and Steve’ does a lot right when it comes to their characters and character development. The show, however, loses the plot a bit towards the end of the season. The chaos becomes TOO chaotic and too much to be considered relatable or authentic. It feels as though a lot of the time spent with the characters is wasted at times. I spent a lot of times really enjoying a direction a character was going, only to have that character take a different turn that didn’t necessarily make sense.
All of this to say, the season did land the plane. It was just turbulent. This is, of course, just the first season and from the quality of the show overall, there will most certainly be a second season, but it is worth mentioning that the show does make some missteps from time to time. While the show may be less than perfect as it stands right now, there is plenty of room for growth and perfection is just around the corner.

Final Thoughts:
‘Alice and Steve’ is darkly hilarius look at friendship and the difficulties that come with getting old with your friends. While the show is not without it’s flaws, season one provides a mostly hilarious good time that is sure to, as with people, age gracefully from season to season. Go ahead and add this one to your viewing list.

When I received word of a new film called Speed Demon starring “Arrow” alum Katie Cassidy (“Laurel Lance/Black Canary”) and William H. Macy (“Shameless,” Fargo), I immediately assumed it’d be a period piece based on its synopsis:
“In Speed Demon, when Father Novak and Sister Lu board a train from Montreal to New York City, they weren’t prepared for the danger and evil that would pursue them. After the train is taken over by the demon Asmodeus, Father Novak and Sister Lu must battle possessed passengers on a runaway train with Sister Lu forced to overcome her faltering faith and perform the first exorcism done by a nun.”
Much to my surprise, Speed Demon is not a period piece; it’s set in relatively modern times. After a brief flashback of young Sister Lu’s experience with a possessed father, the movie rockets to the present day. The film starts strong, with a tracking shot of Sister Lu (Cassidy) waking up after a drug-fueled orgy with nameless subjects, dressing in her habit and heading to the train station to meet Father Novak. You are assured right away that she is not your average nun, and this won’t be your average possession story.
We then meet a seemingly normal dude leaving yet another one night stand with a beguiling French-Canadian woman who gives him a parting gift of an ornate case. It contains a totem that holds a demon, which he begrudgingly trudges up to being a “bad lay.” Now that you know the “logic” of this film, let’s dive into the characters, shall we?
Speed Demon does make good use of its characters aboard the train to string some semblance of a film together. Standing out is actress Sari Arambulo, who shined in SHUDDER’s Bloody Axe Wound in 2024. As Sister Lu nurtures relationships with her cabin-mates, we get some stakes in this high-speed adventure.

The execution of the film, however, leaves something to be desired. This is a film that will be accepted by only the most dedicated horror hounds – the ones who watch everything that even marginally adheres to the genre. William H. Macy is thoroughly underutilized and the production, despite some unnerving sound design, doesn’t really capture the menace the demon is meant to present. Cassidy does her best with the character the script has offered her, and according to the film’s ending, we might see more of Sister Lu. (Think along the lines of the end of Wrath of Becky and you’re heading in the right direction.) However, if we never saw Van Helsing again after Hugh Jackman’s wasted charm in the 2004 dud, what hope does Sister Lu truly have?
I was drawn to watch the film thanks to the opportunity to speak with Cassidy, daughter of the famed Partridge David Cassidy and standout star of “Arrow.” While her character dies in season 4 (oops, spoiler), the showrunners kept bringing her back as doppelganger Black Siren from an alternate dimension, a villain who eventually finds redemption. Speaking with Cassidy was a delight, and I of course had to get into the character that embedded her into the hearts of nerds around the world, especially those of us here at Nerd Initiative.
Speed Demon releases in theaters, on demand, and digital on Sunday, May 31st. I imagine it will quickly leave our collective subconscious, as its name suggests.
How about you? Does Speed Demon do anything for you, or would you watch it just to see Cassidy back in action? Sound off below and come back here regularly for all your movie, streaming, and comic book news!

Now, this new series will be following Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, who are now co-owners of Australia’s BONDS Flying Roos SailGP Team. Now this sport is really fun to watch, because it’s mostly a sport where identical 50-foot catamarans race in close-to-shore courses at speeds of up to 100 km/h.
What we know about the series is that it will be blending:
“Humor, pressure and behind-the-scenes access, the series captures life inside one of the world’s most demanding sports leagues as the team operates as a tight-knit family built on trust and camaraderie.”
Hugh and Ryan had this to say about the new series:
“This is our first collaboration since Deadpool & Wolverine and we once again anticipate action, comedy, heart but with a lot more water. And (fingers crossed) pirates. We hope there’s pirates in SailGP.”
Disney+’s President Of Direct-to-Consumer International Originals, Strategic Programming, And Emerging Media, Eric Schrier, also had this to say about the series:
“Following Ryan, Hugh and the SailGP’s BONDS Flying Roos Australian team’s journey gives us a remarkable inside view of this thrilling sport and what it takes to compete at the highest level. We couldn’t be more excited to bring this story to Disney+ audiences around the world.”
Now, this series is in production currently, and it sounds like it will be out sometime next year.
