Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.

Oh, Tom Hardy. We love your unbridled fanboy enthusiasm for Eddie Brock and symbiote, Venom. You kind of single handedly kept what should have been a one-and-done film going, and created what is now a trilogy. The third Sony Pictures Spider-Man-adjacent picture is due out this October, and today, we got a new trailer for it. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance. We’re actually excited to see what happens…

We are delighted to report that HBO has renewed “Hacks” for a 4th season! While we don’t want to call it a surprise hit, it kind of is? Mostly because no one really knew what it was going to be. Sure, having Jean Smart lead your show probably means it’s going to be awesome, but “Hacks” really, really is. And it’s not all Smart, either. It’s the pairing with Hannah Einbinder that makes everything zing. “We congratulate ‘Hacks’s’ brilliant cast and crew, and our partners at Universal Television,” Sarah Aubrey, head of Max Original Programming, said in a statement. “‘Hacks’…
The very first thing we have to ask out loud is- “BUT WHAT ABOUT BLADE, HUH??” It’s true- we’ve been waiting for positive news for YEARS about Oscar winner Mahershala Ali’s daywalker film. It was originally announced during San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2019, and we still haven’t gotten it yet. Starts and stops are not uncommon for big flicks, but Marvel Studios hasn’t really had a project like this one just not happen. Sure, some get reskinned or shuffled off to Disney+, but this was going to be a BIG film. Just recently there were reports of yet another “directional…

Dynamite hasn’t released any info about what exactly this Kickstarter will entail, but we’re excited. From the campaign tease: “Calling all “Darkwing Duck” fans! We’re…
