This is a (mostly) spoiler-free review for Krypton’s Season 2 premiere, titled “Light Years From Home.” For more on Krypton, check out this hilarious Season 1 blooper reel and learn more about Syfy’s plans to develop a Lobo spinoff series.  

It’s good to be back in the imaginative world of El’s, Zod’s, and Vex’s in the Season 2 premiere of Syfy’s Krypton, titled “Light Years From Home.” The episode’s tight pacing doesn’t allow time for a refresher course, with the story picking up six months after the events in the Season 1 finale. And now that the series is in its sophomore year, its characters appear to be evolving in new and fascinating ways.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for the ending of The Amazing Spider-Man #22!

The cover to The Amazing Spider-Man #23 bills this issue as an epilogue to the recent “Hunted” storyline, and that’s exactly what readers should expect from the contents. This is very much a transitional chapter of the series, tying up loose ends from “Hunted,” bidding farewell to a major Marvel character and laying some crucial seeds for stories to come. It’s not the strongest or most well-rounded chapter of the series, but it serves as an entertaining conclusion all the same.

Writer Nick Spencer brought a fitting end to to the story of Sergei Kravinoff in issue #22, with Kraven’s own son being tricked into beating his father to death. The most compelling material in this issue is centered around the fallout of the death, as Kraven’s lone family member and tiny circle of friends pay tribute to a fallen villain. It helps that Spencer takes a mostly silent approach in these scenes, allowing artist Ryan Ottley to focus on bringing out the younger Kraven’s pained emotions. Ottley even pays direct homage to Kraven’s Last Hunt in the opening of the issue, which definitely helps send the character off right.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the next entry in the beloved series and we’ve learned plenty since it was revealed for the Nintendo Switch back in 2018. In an interview with IGN at E3, Nintendo’s Aya Kyogoku and Hisashi Nogami told IGN more details about the upcoming game along with some new information about features shown during the New Horizons Nintendo Treehouse live presentation.

You’ll start with two or so neighbors in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

It’s been almost 40 years since moviegoers were introduced to the action hero John Shaft, played by Richard Roundtree in three trailblazing movies and one short-lived TV series. Heroic, revolutionary and confidently, powerfully sexual, Roundtree’s version of the character became a cultural icon, thanks in no small part to an unforgettable, Oscar-winning ode to his awesomeness, composed and performed by Isaac Hayes.

In the decades that followed there have been two attempts to revitalize the motion picture franchise. The late, great John Singleton cast Samuel L. Jackson as Shaft’s nephew in the exciting 2000 reboot, which skillfully balanced the action and social commentary inherent to the character, and yet somehow it never yielded a proper sequel.

I was extremely excited to play Hollow Knight: Silksong in the Nintendo Booth at E3 2019, and what I found there was a sequel to one of my favorite games that simultaneously felt incredibly familiar and entirely new. It’s unmistakably Hollow Knight, but with the speed cranked up to 11 thanks to the nimble nature of its new protagonist, Hornet.

Hornet’s basic movement doesn’t seem any faster, but her attacks and abilities certainly are. Your mid-air downslash has been replaced with a diagonal dive thrust (completely uprooting strategies I had developed in the first game) and she can grab edges to hop up onto high platforms right off the bat. It felt like I had to relearn a game I was already intimately familiar with – that was jarring, but once I did, I think I started to like its combat and movement even more than the original.

SPOILERS ahead for Dark Phoenix and Captain Marvel!

The greenish, shape-shifting alien villains of Dark Phoenix are referred to in the new (and final) X-Men movie as the D’Bari, but they’re not really like their Marvel Comics counterparts at all. That’s because, according to Dark Phoenix actor Tye Sheridan, they were originally Skrulls. Yes, the same shape-shifters who played such a significant role in the recent Captain Marvel movie.

There’s a new Zelda coming out this year. The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is heading exclusively to Nintendo Switch on September 20. This is a complete remake of the Game Boy game that released back in 1993. The art style is a cute mix of cartoonish and realistic, resulting in a game that almost looks like a moving miniature toy set. As you play, you’ll earn chambers you can use to craft your very own dungeons.

If you’re all-in on this reinvention of the classic game, you can preorder now. Read on to see where it’s available.
