Si Spurrier always brings the coolest/weirdest stories to comics and he is joined by artist Vanesa R. Del Rey on this one that is billed as a cajun crime fever dream.

IDW is relaunching a new Zilla universe of multiple books and this is the first from Tim Seeley and Nikola Cizmesija.

⚗️ Darren Aronofsky's Human Nature (Abrams)

With his movie Caught Stealing coming out later this year, Aronofsky also, apparently, has a comic book with writers Ari Handel and Jeff Welch, with art by Martin Morazzo.

🐻 Calexit The Battle Of Universal City (Black Mask)

Don't know these creators, Matt Pizzolo and Carlos Granda, but it's a book about a sovereign California, which, you know, feels relatable.

movies hitting the big screen this week

🎥 New movies

🛸 The Fantastic Four: First Steps

You already know everything you need to about this. Reviews seem mostly positive, but it's a super hero movie. You know what you are getting into.

Happy Gilmore 2 (Netflix)

I haven't watched any of Sandler's Netflix movies, but might have to make an exception for this sequel.

🍝 Diciannove

First time writer/director brings us a pretty intersting coming-of-age movie produced by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Challengers).
