Mötley Crüe, Poison, and Def Leppard announced tour dates for their 2020 summer tour at a press conference yesterday in Los Angeles. “I’m just telling you that it is going to be not just ‘The Stadium Tour,’ it is the party of the summer,” Poison frontman Bret Michael said. “If [the other bands] cut half their set, there’s still nothing but hits.”

One song likely to be in Poison’s set list is “Fallen Angel” from their 1988 LP Open Up and Say … Ahh!. The single reached Number 12 on the Hot 100 that year...

The Agent of Liberty has been exposed. 

Revealing Ben Lockwood's identity only intensified the anti-alien sentiment amongst the masses on Supergirl Season 4 Episode 8.

I was angry on Kara's behalf and seriously annoyed with the mentality of all these Lockwood supporters. 

Ben is a joke, he's pathetic, but most importantly, he's a liar. 

After Manchester Black almost kicked his ass and then a team of Aliens saved him, he still had the nerve to continue bashing their kind.

Sometimes, it feels like he doesn't understand the consequences of his actions. 

His wife almost died because of his crusade against the very people who are willing to fight for him.

There is no logic in what he's trying to accomplish. He's saying all aliens are bad despite seeing, with his own eyes, that there are good aliens. 

The broad generalization doesn't work,...

It may have come a week late, but The Flash Season 5 Episode 7, otherwise known as “The Thanksgiving Episode,” was well worth the wait.

This episode, although it did include a weekly meta-villain, was one of the most character driven and emotional episodes the show has ever done. There is just something about family dynamics that The Flash always seems to get just right.

It’s hard not to solely dedicate this review to the incredibly nuanced performance of Jessica Parker Kennedy. Although fairly sure of it before, I am now absolutely certain there is not one other actress in the world who could play Nora West Allen with the same finesse and gravitas she delivers.

In reality, Kennedy is the about the same age as her acting counterparts. Yet she is able to bring a type of innocence and fervor to...

In Arrow's most relentless battle episode ever, Oliver Queen finally conquers Ricardo Diaz and gets free of Slabside prison

This Arrow review contains spoilers.

Arrow Season 7 Episode 7

If you were hoping to send Slabside off in style, you couldn’t have asked for a better, more show-stopping episode of Arrow than this.

In one of the most relentless and physically intense episodes of Arrow ever, Oliver Queen finally conquers Ricardo Diaz and gets free of Slabside prison. Flashforwards and life outside of prison were wisely held for the week, instead dedicating the episode to what felt more like a short action movie that was all climax. Oh, and then there was that Olicity reunion.

In one of the most brutal and rewarding fights Arrow has ever seen, Oliver beats a bunch of guys senseless with a soda can inside of a pillowcase. His partner uses one half of a pair of scissors (a scissor?...

I know we have more than our fair share of comic and graphic novel fans here at Dread Central, and this news should be right up their alley. For the first time ever, Idw Publishing is holding a public sale at its San Diego headquarters this Saturday, December 6, from 10:00 am-3:00 pm.

The sale is primarily intended to free up space in Idw’s warehouse for the company’s expanded and exciting line-up of titles in 2009. “Our warehouse manager is literally buried,” says Idw’s Chief Operating Officer, Greg Goldstein. “After 10 years of publishing, it’s only natural that the boxes have piled up because of accidental print overruns, books that were set aside as office copies, books intended for reviewers and others earmarked for promotional purposes. Time to get them out of here.”

And what sort of things can shoppers expect? Along with a giveaway with each purchase,...

The sale gives Idw a chance to thank fans for their continued support and for helping with the company’s phenomenal growth over the past few years. Idw was recently ranked No. 4 comic book publisher in the United States by Diamond Comic Distributors.

Last night, Peter David and Mike Perkins did a midnight signing at the prestigious Midtown Comics in Time Square. Despite the late hour, there were several fans in attendance and each had the opportunity to be among the very first to purchase the debut issue of the new miniseries Dark Tower: Treachery and the premiere of the first miniseries based on Stephen King's other major work, The Stand: Captain Tripps.

The Dark Tower book series is Stephen King's very popular opus. The Dark Tower comics, plotted by King's aide Robin Furth (who also wrote The Dark Tower: A Complete Concordance) and scripted by Peter David (X-Factor, She-Hulk, Fallen Angel), have been serving as prequels to the series, showing the Gunslinger hero Roland when he was a young man and revealing other secrets of his home. Treachery is the third mini-series.

The Stand is perhaps Steven King's most famous book,...

NBC won the final complete week of the November sweep among the viewers most coveted by advertisers. But as was the case throughout the sweep, it was CBS' unusually strong performance in the key 18-49 demographic -- especially with its Sunday movie Fallen Angel -- that drew the most attention. Fallen Angel, a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation starring Gary Sinise, easily won its slot in the demo and was the most-watched TV movie of the season to date. That's especially heartening news for CBS, which struggled with ratings for some of its heavily promoted Sunday telepics last season. Up 2% year-to-year in the demo, CBS continued to narrow the gap with No. 1 NBC, which dropped 13%. But the peacock nevertheless ground out a win, helped considerably by a reinvigorated ER, the week's top-rated program.

CBS won the final Sunday of the November sweep on the strength of a football overrun into primetime and the telefilm Fallen Angel, which ranks as the most-watched movie of the season to date. The 9-11 p.m. movie, starring Gary Sinise and Joely Richardson in the story of a man who returns to his hometown to reconnect with a girl he once knew, averaged 17.6 million viewers and a 4.6 rating/11 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research. CBS got the night off to a good start demographically thanks to a roughly 35-minute football spillover into primetime. For the night, CBS averaged 18 million viewers and a 4.8/12 in 18-49.
