Mask Up, Comic Shops: M.A.S.K. Just Hit the Energon On-Ramp

Skybound Entertainment has officially announced M.A.S.K. #1, and it’s not doing the polite “solo reboot” thing. Instead, Matt Trakker and his crew are jumping into the Energon Universe shoulder-to-shoulder with G.I. Joe and Transformers—because if you’re going to escalate, you might as well do it with a convoy of icons. The pitch is delightfully classic: a network of skilled agents, high-tech masks, and special vehicles that convert into “the ultimate weapon” at a moment’s notice. Translation: espionage with a turbo button. If you ever loved the idea that your everyday…

If you grew up in the 1980s, you probably remember toy aisles as a kind of glittering battlefield: laser blasters on one side, mutants and monsters on the other… and, for a brief but unforgettable moment, a strange and wonderful corner where armored knights carried magic staffs powered by shimmering holograms. That was Hasbro’s Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light—a line that burned bright, disappeared fast, and somehow never stopped living rent-free in collectors’ heads. Now the spell has been cast again: Super7 has announced that Visionaries is coming back…

There are certain actors who don’t just play a character—you feel like they help hold a piece of a time in your life. For me, James Van Der Beek was one of those people. Today, learning that he has passed away at 48 after a battle with colorectal cancer, I felt that strange, hollow mix of disbelief and gratitude. Disbelief that someone who seemed so tied to “then” can be gone “now.” Gratitude that we ever got him at all. Because if you were there—really there—for Dawson’s Creek, you know…

There are performers who make you laugh, and then there are performers who make laughter feel like home. Catherine O’Hara belonged to the second kind—a once-in-a-generation artist who could turn a single look, a perfectly placed pause, or a delightfully strange pronunciation into something that lived in your memory for years. On January 30, 2026, O’Hara died at 71 in Los Angeles after a brief illness, according to reports from her representatives. She is survived by her husband, Bo Welch, and their two sons. To call her “beloved” feels almost…
