Dynamite Entertainment and Paizo Inc. are excited to announce three new exciting pledge levels to the official Fumbus comic book Kickstarter! The support of Pathfinder fans so far on the campaign has been amazing, and to reward the most dedicated adventurers, a trio of top tier very limited options are now available. Whether one wants to be immortalized in every copy of the comic, have a special edition fully dedicated to them, or even play a game of Pathfinder live with a creator, each option is enticing in its own way! Has your favorite RPG character fallen in battle? Do you want their moniker enshrined forever in Pathfinder history? The Wall of Names is a long, curving wall of black glass on a tree-shaded hill on the grounds of the Pathfinder Society’s headquarters—the Grand Lodge—in the city of Absalom. It serves as a memorial for all Pathfinders who have died in service to the Society since the wall's creation nearly 400 years ago, and its surface is etched with the name for each Pathfinder that fell in battle. For a limited number of backers, a spot on the wall is available for your PC to be memorialized in the pages of the Pathfinder Fumbus comic book. See your fallen character's name on a panel in the comic and get a copy of Pathfinder Fumbus to show your friends! Every other backer of the comic will also get to see your legendary status. This tier is limited to just 12 spots. Maximum character length is 20 letters/spaces and Paizo has the final right of approval for submitted names.  Is your favorite Pathfinder character a legend in your gaming group? This is a rare opportunity to have your PC illustrated by our resident bard artist - Ken Haeser - and have their image adorn a special limited edition of the Pathfinder Fumbus Special! The image will be a portrait illustration based on your character description. You also get 100 copies of your special exclusive cover to add to your collection, give to your friends, or sell on the magic black market (or eBay... your call). The cover is a hand-drawn illustration - we'll do our best to deliver something really special - but final art and sign off will come from Dynamite and Paizo. Pathfinder Fumbus writer and avid tabletop gamer Fred Van Lente slides behind the gamemaster's screen to run an original Pathfinder adventure written by him for up to five lucky players! All you need is a Zoom connection, your imagination, and an adventurous spirt to take part in this session! Space is limited... gather up your fellow gamers, raid your treasure stores, and enjoy a special night of roleplaying at the hands of one of comics' most creative scribes! The session will test your character's skills, challenge their fortitude, and no doubt involve a deadly melee with creatures unknown! Note - Fred is the game master... his will is divine!  With exclusive options for the most passionate Pathfinder adventurers, each is guaranteed to make a lasting impression and one of the most cherished memories around this legendary roleplaying game. Each new added reward has a finite number of spots available, so those interested should head to the Kickstarter campaign and lock theirs in right now!

“Kaos,” the Greek mythology comedy series that premiered in late August, has been canceled at Netflix, Variety is reporting. The show premiered on August 29 and starred Jeff Goldblum as the all-mighty Zeus, albeit in a more whimsical and insecure portrayal. In a modern-day setting, Zeus has chained up Prometheus after interfering with his godly rule over humanity. Prometheus then attempts to overthrow Zeus with the help of three humans, Eurydice, Ariadne and Caeneus. Charlie Covell (“The End of the F***ing World”) wrote the entire eight-episode series. The show did spend four weeks in the Netflix top 10 charts upon its release, but failed to garner a significant audience in that time. It peaked at number three on the English language TV chart in its second week of availability. 10/08/24 @ 11:04 am EST
A story that lauded director John Boorman created for his children is being worked up as an animated feature. The Honey Wars was a tale that veteran helmer Boorman told his kids and now Dublin-based animation house Kavaleer Productions is developing it as a 90-minute-long film. Boorman has opened the Rolodex and helped reach out to some starry voice talent. The producers are in talks with Jamie Lee Curtis, Vanessa Kirby, Patrick Stewart, Brendan Gleeson, Richard E. Grant and Jon Voight. Billed as a dark comedic fantasy, the story follows Hope, a young girl with a secret ability to see the invisible threads that connect the magical world to our own. Recently uprooted by the loss of her mother, she stumbles upon a bitter conflict rooted in two warring tribes: the Fairies and the Elves. She encounters Alfred, a mischievous and exiled Elf, and Fiona, an outcast fairy. The unlikely comrades uncover long-buried truths and begin laying the groundwork for an unthinkable reconciliation in the war-ravaged universe. Five-time Oscar-nominated Boorman’s credits include Point Blank, Deliverance, Excalibur and Hope and Glory. (via Deadline) 10/08/24 @ 4:32 am EST
After delivering two critical and commercial disappointments with Morbius and Madame Web, Sony Pictures desperately needs a win. It's hardly a surprise then that the studio is pulling out all the stops for Venom: The Last Dance. The studio has partnered with a long list of brands and celebrities to promote the threequel and Venom has now paid a visit to Hot Ones. Forced to eat a series of increasingly fiery hot wings, it doesn't take long for Eddie Brock to lose it. With any luck, there are plans for Tom Hardy to be a guest on the actual Hot Ones show because that would be a ton of fun. Venom: The Last Dance will be released in theaters on October 25.

Comic book creator Rob Liefeld is plotting a return to the property that helped launch his post-Marvel career more than 30 years ago. Liefeld will return to write and illustrate a Youngblood title for Image Comics, which will publish the book next year. It marks his first work on the property in seven years, and he is working with Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, who oversees the property for rights holder, Rip Media Inc. “It’s so great that I can run into the comfort of characters that I created, that launched a movement. They carry such history. I love Youngblood so much. These characters are my absolute passion,” said Liefeld. In addition to the new series, Image will publish Youngblood Vault Edition, featuring high-res scans of the original art from the first Youngblood series, collected in a deluxe oversized hardcover. There will also be a facsimile edition of Youngblood #1 timed to its 33rd anniversary in April 2025. (via The Hollywood Reporter) 10/07/24 @ 12:30 pm EST

In addition to new takes on the Man of Steel (David Corenswet) and Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), James Gunn's upcoming Superman reboot will introduce our latest live-action interpretation of the iconic hero's nemesis, Lex Luthor. Nicholas Hoult landed the role after initially testing to play Superman himself. Gunn has shared some of the comic book incarnations of the villain that influenced him while writing this new take on the character. "God, there are so many," the director responded to a fan on Threads. "Lex is one of my favorites -- he works on so many levels -- and it’s been a joy bringing him to the screen with the incredible Nicholas Hoult. Some of the influences were, of course, All-Star Superman, [Brian] Azzarello’s Luthor [in the 2005 miniseries Lex Luthor: Man of Steel], and the reckless scientific genius from the 1950’s and ‘60’s." Superman is slated to open in theaters July 11, 2025. (via ComicBookMovie) 10/07/24 @ 12:14 pm EST

Coming out of the Los Angeles Comic Con this weekend, actor Ewan McGregor told fans that they are exploring ideas for an Obi-Wan Kenobi season 2. He went on to say it’s his hope that he gets to wear the Clone Wars armor and do more flashbacks with Annikin Skywalker actor Hayden Christensen. McGregor was on a panel that included Christensen and three actors from The Mandalorian, Ming-Na Wen, Giancarlo Esposito and Emily Swallow. The first season of Obi-Wan Kenobi focused on a time between the end of Revenge of the Sith and the start of A New Hope which had the Jedi living on Tatooine protecting Luke when he is pulled away by Bail Organa to rescue Leia.  10/06/24 @ 12:52 pm EST
Last year, at the New York Comic Con, director Matthew Vaughn claimed to have quit X-Men 3 after he learned that Storm actress Halle Berry had been sent a fake script to entice her to join the film. The phony script was produced to appeal to her specifically as it would extend her characters story arc. Vaughn said at the time: “I thought, if you’re going to do that to an Oscar-winning actress who plays Storm, I quit; I thought, I’m mincemeat… One of the main reasons I quit X-Men 3, and this is a true story: Hollywood is really political and odd.” Recently Berry responded to Vaughn comments, saying: “Ya just never know the shady s— going on behind ya back! Thank you Matthew Vaughn for bringing the dark to light.”  10/05/24 @ 12:39 pm EST
Joel Kinnaman wants fans to know that he would never appear on HBO’s Peacemaker series. The actor played the role of Rick Flag Jr. in both iterations of the Suicide Squad films with his character dying in the most recent that was directed by James Gunn. It’s also the film that John Cena was introduced as Peacemaker and he is the one that killed Flag. Moving forward Gunn has cast Frank Grillo to play Rick Flag Sr and he will appear in the animated Creature Commandos, the live-action Superman and season 2 of Peacemaker. Earlier this year, the director of the second season, Peter Sollett, tagged Kinnaman in a show wrap post (later deleted), which made some believe that Rick Flag Jr. would show up somehow. Screen Rant asked Kinnaman about returning to the DC Universe: “I don’t know what to say. That’s ridiculous. I would never. I would never be on a show like that. It’s not what I do. It’s not what I do.” It almost sounds like he’s insulting the series. Could this be a cover to keep his appearance a secret or is there something more to it?
