For a limited time at SDCC, fans of artist Junji Ito can see over 100 of his original artworks in the Torrey Pines rooms at the Marriott Marquis.  “Welcome to the Ito-Verse” is a visual feast of horrors from many of Ito’s popular works, including “Uzumaki.”  When we asked Ito where he gets his inspiration for the nightmares he puts to paper, he said through his interpreter that he pull things from everyday life and “gives them a twist.”  More to come in our SDCC wrap up at the end of the week!

Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel and Captain Monica Rambeau go HIGHER. FURTHER. FASTER. TOGETHER. in an exciting new trailer for Marvel Studios’ feature film The Marvels, opening in theaters on November 10.  

Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan, Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol’s estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team-up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as The Marvels. 

Marvel Studios’ The Marvels stars Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani, Zawe Ashton, Gary Lewis, Park Seo-joon, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapur, Saagar Shaikh, and Samuel L. Jackson.

Nia DaCosta directs with Kevin Feige producing. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Mary Livanos, Jonathan Schwartz and Matthew Jenkins serve as executive producers. The screenplay is by Megan McDonnell, Nia DaCosta, Elissa Karasik and Zeb Wells.

One Piece, a legendary high-seas adventure starring Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji, sets sail August 31, only on Netflix.

It has been nearly five years since we saw Rick Grimes and Michonne together onscreen. Their great apocalypse love story took a tragic turn in The Walking Dead season 9 when Rick “sacrificed” himself on that bridge. Of course, we knew that Rick didn’t die. Jadis found him and took him on one of those CRM helicopters. But, poor Michonne thought her man was dead for many years until her big discovery at Bloodsworth Island led her to look for him. We saw a glimpse of their separate predicaments in The Walking Dead’s final episode.

Thankfully, we are finally going to get a sweet reunion between this pair in The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, which is the official title for the Rick and Michonne spinoff series. At this year’s SDCC, fans got a teaser trailer for The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live showing Rick and Michonne in action. 

Michonne looks incredible in this clip, as she speaks about losing someone years ago and finding out that he’s alive. We also see Rick doing one of the things he does best: killing walkers. Do we learn anything? Not at all. Does it matter? Nope. It is just exciting to get a teaser trailer with Rick and Michonne back in action again.

The Meaning Behind the Rick & Michonne Series’ Official Title

The Ones Who Live is also a perfect title for this series. Rick originally said that line in reference to his original group in The Walking Dead’s fifth season. He told Deanna, who led Alexandria, that his group knew what to do because they knew how to survive this harsh world. And, in the show’s final episode, we hear many of the characters utter that line, including Rick and Michonne. Through all the villains, death, and despair, they are still alive and their love lives on. 

What Is The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live‘s Release Date? 

We still don’t know exactly when The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live will hit AMC. It is coming sometime in 2024, which feels both close and still too far away. Either way, Rick Grimes and Michonne are back and that sparks so much joy.
