They have changed the face of the entire science fiction, as the genre has moved and shifted with the times. The last 15 years have offered all-new themes, backgrounds, and experiences from creators with all-new perspectives. As the voices of sci-fi comic creators become bolder and more unique, so do the stories we get to experience, creating a whole new realm of what it means to fit into the sci-fi genre of comic books. The 15 comic books below are a result of decades of growth, both in the c...

Multiple Green Lantern projects are in the works, so let's go through them.

American Horror Story star joins upcoming Green Lantern HBO Max series American Horror Story regular Finn Wittrock has been tapped to star in the upcoming HBO Max series, Green Lantern. According to a report from Variety, the 36-year-old actor will be playing one of the Green Lanterns, Guy Gardener. Wittrock’s character is described as a “hulking mass of masculinity, and, as rendered in the comics, an embodiment of 1980’s hyper-patriotism.” The AHS fan-favourite is the first actor to be...

CinemaBlend Green Lantern has been a significant figure in the DC universe as of late, even though no one has played the character in any significant way for live action in many years. The Lantern Corps has made news because Zack Snyder wanted to showcase a Lantern in his Snyder Cut of Justice League, available now on HBO Max. But WarnerMedia asked Snyder not to, because they had plans for Green Lantern. And now, with the casting of Finn Wittrock as Guy Gardner, those plans are starting to see...

Now, its been six years since "Green Lantern" derailed DCs schedule for building a connected movie universe. Although DC has superheroes every bit as recognized as Marvels most iconic crime-fighters, "Green Lantern" (with Ryan Reynolds donning the title costume) was such a bomb that it sparked doubts that DC would ever be able to match Marvels cinematic universe. So how can "Green Lantern Corps" become everything that "Green Lantern" wasnt? First, it comes down to personnel. Geoff Johnss new ...

CinemaBlend Ryan Reynolds has been so red-hot successful as the Merc with the Mouth, Deadpool, that people forget he dipped his toe into the superhero pool years before trying on the red mercenary suit. His other super suit was green, and it came with a ring… but it didn’t go as Reynolds had planned. Green Lantern is remembered as a DC Comics misfire, an origin story that was more cheesy than authentic. Reynolds himself pokes fun at Green Lantern every chance that he gets, so you KN...

Is colorblind casting the secret to Bridgertons success? Featuring a black queen, opulent costumes and "Fifty Shades"-like sex scenes, the Netflix series inspires and provokes in equal measure. Golda Rosheuvel plays the Queen in Bridgerton Theres love, intrigue and sex, ideas of class and rebellion against them: familiar themes that typically pepper a Jane Austen-esque historical romance. Except that in the case of the new Netflix series Bridgerton, set in the British court of 1813, some of th...

CinemaBlend Friday the 13th, first victim of 2005’s House of Wax, and host of MTV’s short-lived Scare Tactics rip-off Room 104, Jared Padalecki is most commonly associated with the horror genre, and rightfully so. Yet, I would still consider his adventures with Jensen Ackles on Supernatural to be somewhat comic book-esque - an idea which came full circle later with graphic novel spin-offs. But, it will take officially casting Padalecki as a superhero in the Marvel movies, or those...

We’re about two decades into an era that history will remember as That Time Humans Demanded At Least Four Comic Book Movies A Year. (I’m guessing this era will be remembered for other things, too, but I’m trying to stay positive for once.) My colleagues and I talk about comics characters pretty much every day, and those conversations lead me to mull a specific type of comic book movie: the Superhero Origin Story. Before I even knew what was happening, I found myself drawn, inexorably, as ...
