It took about an hour to wrap my head around everything that happened in the season finale of "The Vampire Diaries." The ending, people! The ending!
But before we get to the part that left my mouth agape, we have to talk the rest of “Graduation.”
Rebekah finally caught a break, Elena and Katherine had their best battle yet, a Salvatore was chosen, and Klaus...of course we have to mention Klaus’ quick but lasting moment.
Spoilers!

What is "Unity" in the new Valiant universe? I'd hoped to get some clues to that in my chat with Valiant CCO Dinesh Shamdasani, Executive Editor Warren Simons, Editor Jody LeHeup.
Besides staying mum on the shape of the new "Unity" (Erica Pierce forever), we did talk about how the universe currently looks, as the publisher continues to reintroduce titles from the VH1 era, including a new "Eternal Warrior" series, while playing out storylines like the ongoing "Harbinger Wars" between "Harbingers" and "Bloodshot," and gaining new creative teams like Christos Gage and Joshua Dysart on “Bloodshot and the HARD Corps.” We discussed diversity among the upcoming titles, and while they shared a collection of exclusive covers from artists Rian Hughes, Dave Johnson, and Dave Bullock for a handful of the Summer of Valiant variants making their ways to shelves in the coming months.

Disney movies are as normal to the American childhood experience as potty training and learning to ride a bike. The stories transform our imaginations, the songs are permanently locked in our memories, and the emotions they made us feel are undeniable. That's what I believed until I took my first Women’s Studies class in college. After that, everything changed. Disney suddenly became the cause of Gender stereotypes. But is it? In light of the recent controversy surrounding the new look of "Brave's" Merida, let's take a look.

From September 8, 1966 to May 13, 2005, the once humble, now-colossal "Star Trek" franchise produced six different television programs, with a sum total of 725 episodes, many of which are considered some of the best drama ever created for network television. Such classics as “The City on the Edge of Forever”, “The Best of Both Worlds”, “Tapestry”, “Chain of Command”, “Space Seed”, “The Sacrifice of Angels” and others often make “best episode” lists of many kinds, alongside the most-revered segments of "The Simpsons," "MASH," "The Twilight Zone," "I Love Lucy," "All in the Family," "Lost" and "The Wire." While any top ten list is difficult, choosing ten exemplary hours from 725 episodes is nearly an impossible task.
But Impossible is my middle name (Well, actually, it’s not, but, you know, whatever. It’s not Tiberius either. Let’s get on with this.).

Harley Quinn has changed both her look and general outlook in the current DC Comics' Universe as a member of the Suicide Squad, and the Joker's ex-girlfriend. Speaking of the Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime put Harley through some rather disturbing paces during the "Death of the Family" storyline that will haunt the character for some time; however, in a look to happier (and crazier) times, Sideshow Toys is releasing a classic version of Miss Quinzel, sporting the original costume fans first fell in love with on "Batman: The Animated Series", as part of their DC Comics Premium Format Figure line!

By now, you've probably heard the news that ABC has ordered a full season of "Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.," the show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and masterminded by Joss Whedon. But what you might not be familiar with, if you're not a hardcore comic reader, is the background of this mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. We break it down for you, in MTV Geek's History of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The early '70s were a time of change and upheaval for Marvel Comics, as they were for much of the world. The company was hiring new creators, experimenting with new styles and formats, and expanding their line of titles in all directions.

One of the great things about an anthology is getting a collection of interesting directors to play around in an interesting genre or milieu. The first "ABCs of Death" took it one step further, though, and nabbed 26 directors from around the world to tell weird, funny, and gross horror stories. Sure, they may not have all landed, but it was an interesting experiment.
Well, during Cannes, Magnet Releasing announced the production of a sequel, "The ABCs of Death 2," and the initial director's list is as odd and interesting as the film is likely to be.

Each week, Matt Wilson, co-host of the War Rocket Ajax podcast and author of The Supervillain Handbook, examines at a major comic news item and picks a few winners and one loser among the week's comic book releases.
If you took a cursory glance at the comics Internet this week, odds are you saw your share of essays lamenting the demise of four DC Comics titles: "Dial H," "Demon Knights," "Legion of Super Heroes" and "Threshold."
