The Unwanted #1 and The Few And Cursed #1 | Fantastic Forum

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are diving into the supernatural frontier and survival mayhem.
First up is The Unwanted #1 from Dren Productions. A group of teens are abducted and dumped on a secluded tropical island with no explanation, no supplies, and no way off. Left to their own devices, they must survive while discovering they are not alone.
Then we turn to The Few and Cursed #1 by Felipe Cagno and Fabiano Neves, a supernatural western that blends dusty frontier grit with eerie myth and high stakes.

Batman/Deadpool #1, Pluribus, Star Wars Visions | Fantastic Forum

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are jumping into three big releases across comics and streaming.
First up is DC/Marvel: Batman Deadpool #1, the historic crossover one shot published by DC. Written by Grant Morrison with art by Dan Mora, this issue throws the Dark Knight and the Merc with a Mouth into a chaotic collision that only two universes crashing together could spark. Morrison brings the meta madness, Mora delivers the kinetic spectacle, and we are unpacking whether this landmark comic sticks the landing on one of the wildest crossovers in modern superhero history.
Then we turn to Pluribus on Apple TV, the brand new sci fi drama from Vince Gilligan, starring Rhea Seehorn as Carol Sturka. The show follows Carol as the rest of humanity is suddenly joined into a hive mind that seeks to amicably assimilate immune individuals into itself. Is this another hit series from Gilligan? We'll give you our take.
Finally, we dive into Star Wars Visions Season 3, the latest anthology series featuring bold, inventive animated shorts from studios around the world. From mythic interpretations to stylish experiments, we are talking about which episodes stand out, which push Star Wars storytelling forward, and which ones you will want to rewatch the moment the credits roll.

Peacemaker S2 premiere and Uncle Scrooge Earth's Mightiest Duck | Fantastic Forum

This week on Fantastic Forum, we give you our take on the premiere of Peacemaker Season 2, streaming now on HBO Max. Showrun by James Gunn, the series returns with John Cena back as Chris Smith, aka Peacemaker, who finds himself navigating a DC Universe rebooted after Superman. Instead of cameos, we are served a meaningful multiverse twist that explores identity and belonging.
Then we fly straight into cosmic nostalgia with Uncle Scrooge: Earth’s Mightiest Duck #1, a five-issue limited series by Jason Aaron with art by Mahmud Asrar, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Ciro Cangialosi. Scrooge McDuck is not his usual miser this time. Instead, he battles the mind-bending invasion of the Connoisseurs, alien hoarders stealing Earth’s greatest treasures.

The Knights of Guinevere and The Mighty Nein | Fantastic Forum

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are talking about two major new releases that are making waves in animated storytelling.
First up is Knights of Guinevere, the new adult animated sci-fi psychological thriller on YouTube created and co-written by Dana Terrace with John Bailey Owen and Zach Marcus, produced by Glitch Productions. The series centers on Park Planet, a planet-spanning floating amusement park with an android princess named Guinevere as its mascot. Down on the surface, two tired dreamers named Andi and Frankie salvage scraps to get by. When Frankie finds a damaged Guinevere android, she and Andi sneak into the park’s secret labs to repair it, not knowing what they are about to wake. Knights of Guinevere is part fairy tale and part psychological descent.
Then we turn to The Mighty Nein, the new Prime Video series from the creators at Critical Role. Blending high adventure, sweeping mythology, and rich ensemble storytelling, the show brings a brand new heroic saga to life with the character driven approach that made Critical Role a phenomenon. We will talk about its world, its cast, its tone, and whether this first season sets the stage for a franchise worth getting invested in.

Alien: Earth and Alien: Paradiso | Fantastic Forum

This week on Fantastic Forum, we are diving headfirst into the uncanny with two Alien tales that take the franchise to thrilling new frontiers!
First we explore Alien: Earth, FX’s chilling reboot of a sci-fi horror classic. Created and showrun by Noah Hawley, this prequel series drops us into the dangerous year 2120, two years before the original Alien, and follows Wendy, a synthetic hybrid, as she confronts corporate conspiracies and Xenomorphic threats on Earth. The stakes are high for the Alien franchise as it makes its television debut.
Then we jet to the other side of the galaxy with Alien: Paradiso, the five-issue limited comic series by Steve Foxe, Edgar Salazar, and Peter Nguyen. This time we are at a neon-soaked luxury resort in space where tropical paradise quickly turns into a nightmare. When Colonial Marshals crash the party, they find smugglers, android staff, and soon a bloodthirsty Xenomorph in their midst. Each issue even gives us the alien’s point of view through Nguyen’s surreal pages. It is privilege, chance, and carnage in full technicolor.
