While you probably couldn’t tell just by looking at the contemporary comic-book landscape, there was a point in time when the industry wasn’t dominated by super-heroes. From horror to erotica, comics used to be just as varied as other artforms before masks and spandex became the norm – something that was almost certainly influenced by the conservative comics code authority. Fortunately, there are some talented artists that manage to create genre-defying works of art within the confines of what readers are actually buying.
One such creator is the inimitable Sam Keith, a Michigan-born writer and artist who was a part of Image Comics’ creator-owned-character boom of the 90s. However, Keith’s contribution to Todd McFarlane’s celebration of 90s excess was very different from his fellow artists’, with his The Maxx subverting super-hero tropes and iconography in order to delve into a deeply disturbing and surprisingly human story about...

McDonald’s may never dip their toes into more adult fare like a rated “R” slasher movie, but that’s where companies like Chain come into play. Thrillist has announced this afternoon that Chain, a pop-up dinner series, is getting set to launch the Stabby Meal while we all wait for Scream VI to arrive in theaters next month, a Scream-themed twist on a McDonald’s classic!
Thrillist explains, “For every pop-up, the Chain gang picks an iconic dish from a chain restaurant then chops and screws it into something new, elevating hits like Taco Bell’s Crunchwrap, Bj’s Pizookie, Chili’s Southwestern Egg Rolls, and Outback Steakhouse’s Bloomin’ Onion. They recreate them with high-quality ingredients, precise technique, and a chef’s touch, bringing your childhood favorites back to life in exciting, modern ways.”

Manchester City Soccer Superstar Erling Haaland Strikes Viaplay Deal
Manchester City’s new star signing Erling Haaland has struck a long-term partnership with Nordic streamer Viaplay and will feature in an exclusive documentary. Haaland – The Big Decision is the first show to emerge from the partnership, which will also see the Norwegian become a Viaplay ambassador in nine European countries, coming a few months after Viaplay signed a similar deal with Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen. The doc follows Haaland – one of European football’s most talented players – as he decided last Spring whether to join Manchester City, the club he made his Premier League debut for last weekend with two goals. His father Alfie Haaland, who played in the Premier League for eight years, will join Viaplay’s Premier League broadcasts as an expert analyst, as the Nordic group pushes further into the sports rights game, most recently acquiring Premier Sports.

When they’re not doing fantastic horror comedies, filmmakers down under like to tell stories, it seems, of the horrors of the Australian outback – and the effect the barren landscape can have on people, be it mentally or physically. Some of which, like Wake in Fright and Walkabout, have gone on to be classics of the genre. Some, less so much. Which leads us to Outback, which tells the story of a young couple, Wade (Wiese) and Lisa (Lofberg), who head to Australia hoping to recharge their failing romance. When their Gps fails, they leave their car and head off on foot to find a new route. As night falls, they must spend the night in the bush without food, water, or weapons, surrounded by snakes, scorpions, and wild dogs.
