A Darker Version Of 'The Tick' Is Coming To Amazon
It is not unusual for heroes to have a cult following, with The Tick being testament to this rule. Created by Ben Edlund aged just 18, The Tick developed its own independent comic line in 1988, a three season Fox show from 1994-1996 and even a live action show in 2001. However fame was short-lived for the live-action version of The Tick, starring Patrick Warburton. Whilst It may have hit critical praise, it fell short in a soon to be superhero packed landscape. Now in an even more saturated world of heroes and villains, how can the big blue bug stand out today with its Amazon reboot?

Happy Buffday: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Turns 19
On March 10, 1997 a young Sarah Michelle Gellar entered our lives as the plucky high school rebel Buffy Summers and we immediately sank our teeth into the teenage-vamp hybrid. It dominated the weeknight viewing of my late 90s childhood... we even named our dog after it! But, 19 years later, how do we remember T.V.'s original vamp girl?

Forget Jon Snow: Why Game of Thrones Needs THIS Character Back!
Before you start, no really, it isn't Jon Snow. It also isn't Stannis, Ned, Joffrey, King Robert, Barristan Selmy, or the old Northern woman who warned Sansa last season. Kit Harrington recently confirmed that everyone's favourite mop haired bastard will be returning to HBO's ice and fire epic, but in the worst kept secret ever, this is hardly news. But back to the story at hand, there is another Stark who just HAS to return to Game of Thrones, and here is what that return could mean for Westeros.

First Look: Mark Consuelos as the Inscrutable, Morally Ambiguous Hiram Lodge
Throughout Riverdale Season 1, Veronica’s father, the mysterious Hiram Lodge, was the unabated talk of the town. His illegal business dealings, family problems and rivalry with Clifford Blossom and Fred Andrews became the center of Riverdale’s countless subplots. His very influence inspires intrigue. An iconic, beloved character from the comics, Hiram Lodge is infamously known as the guy who hates Archie Andrews, and would stop at nothing to keep him away from his daughter. Stern and uptight, he was the Mr. Paul Stevens to Archie’s Ross Geller. Fans waited throughout Season 1 for Mr. Lodge to make his timely appearance, but it was to no avail.

‘Riverdale’ Recreates the Iconic Milkshake Shot From the Archie Comics
Riverdale, as many already know, is hardly a stranger to fan service. Last season, the CW’s execs and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa graced us with gratuitous shots of the cast in their classic Archiecomics wear, as supplement to an equally gratuitous throwback scene straight out of Jughead’s retro-colored nightmare. The scene, despite lasting only a few minutes, felt phenomenally nostalgic, and each accompanying shot that followed felt nothing short of eye-candy.

'Legion's Finale Has a Confusing Connection to Pokémon — But Is It Super Effective?
It's fair to say that Fox's Legion is a show that most viewers either absolutely love or totally hate. There isn't really any middle ground in this with the show's constantly twisting and turning plot that makes the viewer question just what — and who — is real. Fittingly, the show's debut season ended on an equally confusing note.
