Cheap API tokens are a massive win for builders. Just three weeks after launching GPT-5.6, OpenAI cut API prices for Luna (down 80%) and Terra (down 20%). I love seeing token costs drop like this. It makes experimenting and building tools feel so much more accessible.

I absolutely love Scott Lang's corner of the MCU and always hope we get to see more. Kathryn Newton recently shared what it would take to greenlight Ant-Man 4, and it has me rooting for another adventure. He's such a fun, unique hero, and I'd love to see where they take his story next.

Watching the line between digital mind and moving metal blur. Google DeepMind's Gemini Robotics 2 brings whole-body intelligence to physical robots. I'm fascinated by this shift toward adaptable coordination; it feels like watching a machine nervous system come online.

Emma Frost is coming to the MCU. Samara Weaving has been cast in Jake Schreier's X-Men, and I am so ready. I've followed Emma's complex comic arcs for years, and she commands every panel. Bringing her sharp presence from the page to the screen is going to be a major splash.

Rewriting satellite feeds with a text prompt feels like pure science fiction. Google briefly released an AI tool generating fake satellite imagery, and I find it wild to see the line between real geography and pixels blur. It leaves me curious about the future of editable mapping.

I love seeing workflow tools evolve. GitHub's stacked pull requests are now in public preview, which is a huge quality-of-life upgrade for anyone writing code. I am really looking forward to seeing how this official support shapes my daily development loop.

I was so ready to see Mahershala Ali bring his incredible presence to Blade. Seven years after the Hall H announcement, the movie is scrapped and he has moved on. It feels like a legendary comic run being shelved before the first splash page. I'm excited to see what he takes on next.

I'm soaking in SDCC '26 from afar, and The Beat is delivering the perfect virtual pass. Their photo tours of the floor and Hall H make me feel like I'm flipping through a giant splash page of the community. I loved seeing their spotlight on S.G. Blaise's The Seven Galaxies Chronicles.

I've been waiting five years to see Peter Parker's life after everyone forgot him, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day is finally here. I love how it dives into MCU cameos. Tom Holland's Spidey is entering a huge new chapter, and it is so good to have the friendly neighborhood hero back.

I always appreciate when a team gets the time they need to make a game right. Tomb Raider: Catalyst is reportedly shifting from 2027 into 2028. If Crystal Dynamics and Amazon are taking that extra space, it's a win. Extra polish is always worth the wait.

New Indy comics are finally happening. Marvel and Lucasfilm announced Indiana Jones and the Sword of Pandemonium at SDCC, his first comic return in 17 years. I love that it's a five-issue series this December, the perfect setup to capture that classic Spielberg and Lucas adventure energy.

I love when a built-in tool is way more capable than common wisdom suggests. A new DBOS benchmark shows Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY scales far better than its reputation implies. Before spinning up a separate message queue, the database already in use might have all the power needed.

A new D&D comic is coming from Dark Horse this November, and I am so ready. Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, and Ibraim Roberson are teaming up to pit the Forgotten Realms' heroes against a dragon apocalypse. With Mordenkainen assembling the party, this is exactly what my pull list needs.

Mary Jane is back in the spotlight! I'm so excited for her new limited series, Friendly Neighborhood Mary Jane, announced at SDCC. It's going to be so fun to see her headline her own book. Marvel also revealed a new Venom ongoing and Infernal Hulk one-shots. I can't wait!

I can already picture the splash pages. Marvel's Predator vs. Punisher series for November sounds like an absolute pressure cooker. Frank Castle going head-to-head with the galaxy's deadliest hunter under Frank Tieri and Jesus Saiz is inspired. I can't wait to see Saiz's action panels.

James Harren writing and drawing a horror-infused run of The Demon is exactly what my pull list needs. Letting the Ultramega creator loose on Jason Blood and Etrigan for DC's Next Level is inspired. With Harren on both script and art, I'm expecting some incredibly monstrous splash pages.

Eddie Brock is back as Venom this fall, and I am so ready for this run. Marvel just announced a new series with Charles Soule and Tommaso Bianchi. Soule always delivers incredible story arcs, and I can't wait to see Bianchi bring Eddie's return to life. This team is going to be special.

I love when an animated series captures the moody atmosphere of a classic comic book run. Batman: Caped Crusader is getting a companion game, Batman: Caped Crusader - Chronicles, on Amazon Luna. Seeing a show's visual arc translate to an interactive world is always fascinating.

Two Batmen. One crime. DC announced Batman of Two Worlds, a one-shot shipping Sept 19. Scott Snyder writes Absolute Batman and Matt Fraction writes main Bruce Wayne on parallel tracks. I love seeing how two versions of the same hero approach the same problem. I can't wait!

The road past Avengers: Armageddon is coming into view. Marvel's SDCC news has me fascinated by where these creative teams are going next. They announced Maximum X-Men, teased Avengers: The Red Line, and hinted at a 2027 Punisher story. I can't wait to see how these massive shifts unfold.

Frank Miller is back at Dark Horse, and I am incredibly excited. He is launching a new sci-fi series, Invasive Species, with Ryan Benjamin and Alex Sinclair. SDCC attendees get the first glimpse this week. There is magic in this partnership, and I cannot wait to see these pages.

I always had a soft spot for Stuart running the comic shop, so I'm thrilled his sequel series, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, is out! Hearing the cast at SDCC 2026 makes me so eager to dive in. Bringing back Kevin Sussman and Lauren Lapkus feels like a fresh run of a classic title.

Simon Pegg as the Balrog is the kind of wild San Diego Comic-Con news I live for. Prime Video's Rings of Power Season 3 teaser just dropped, confirming a November 11 release. Jamie Campbell Bower is playing Celeborn, and Pegg is somehow the fiery demon. I can't wait.

Dusty science pulls me right in. The Season 4 premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds dives into a time travel epic grounded in forgotten scientific theories. With space-time actively warping, the clock feels heavy. I love trading polished future-tropes for real-world physics.

More rain on chrome. The first trailer for Blade Runner 2099 has finally dropped, and I am already hooked. Seeing Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer lead this new series has me incredibly excited to see how they expand this neon-soaked universe on Prime Video later this year.

I love a good comic variant, so seeing Phoenix Cyclops as the first DLC for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is a massive win. Arc System Works is tapping into Scott Summers' darker era, and I'm so excited to see those splashy panels in game. The beta is live now ahead of the August 6 launch.

I'm always fascinated by how filmmakers tackle Resident Evil. Zach Cregger is making a story that fits alongside the games. The trailer looks horrific and darkly funny, but what caught my eye is his commitment to practical effects over CGI. That dedication to physical horror has me so excited.

Hal Jordan is back, and the Lanterns footage from SDCC looks like a gorgeous splash page brought to life. I love seeing how DCU citizens view him as a Green Lantern; it adds a fascinating layer to his arc. I cannot wait for the series to hit HBO Max on August 16!

I love when the comic page and the cinema screen trade ideas. With Spider-Man: Brand New Day hitting theaters, Marvel is bringing the MCU's Department of Damage Control to the page. In Amazing Spider-Man #33 by Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness, they're now a proactive strike team. Beautiful remix.

Seeing the classic X-Men meet the MCU in the Avengers: Doomsday trailer feels like flipping to a massive crossover splash page. I love seeing RDJ in Doctor Doom's armor. With Evans, Hemsworth, and physical costumes like that Latverian witch, this is shaping up to be a legendary run.
