Strange Planet is Getting a Cartoon
Remember that webcomic Strange Planet by Nathan Pyle that took off a few years ago? It’s getting a whole cartoon series! I loved that comic, still enjoy it, and this blows my mind. How are they gonna turn that into a cartoon?
All I can think about this comic nowadays is how I gave my dad the collected edition for Christmas one year and he said it was just Coneheads. I never watched much Coneheads and barely remember the movies…but is it just Coneheads?! I guess we’ll find out.
Strange Planet is coming to AppleTV+ on Aug. 9.

Only Leigh is Posting Again!
One of my favorite random Internet content creators is Only Leigh, a YouTube cartoonist who did a bunch of funny parody videos several years ago. Well she’s back, making more videos! In a post on YouTube, she said she went off into the big, wide world and worked some entertainment jobs and more, and is now back to do her own thing.
I don’t watch Bluey, but this definitely sounds like everything I’ve heard about Bluey.
Anyway, Only Leigh’s videos are fun and I enjoy sharing them and spreading the word that she’s making them. So watch and enjoy! And I fully vote for more Belle and Tina time traveling adventures. Having your own IP is a ton of fun!

Top 6 Rainbow Superheroes
I’m a little bit late for Pride Month, but this list was fun to put together nonetheless! Rainbows are great. They’re bright, they’re colorful, and everybody still loves them after no doubt seeing them their whole lives. As we all know, rainbows are caused by light refracting through water droplets in the air, usually after it rains. And that image is sometimes used for comic book characters.
Rainbows work as both a costume idea, a way to describe someone’s powers or just a fun accessory for the superhero. They fill a page with color and energy, and bring smiles wherever they go. I knew of some rainbow-based comic book characters already, but the internet is ever giving, and I found even more to fill out this list. And it’s a fun list!
Join me after the jump for six of the more colorful, light refracting off water droplet characters in all of comics!
Read the rest of this entryLet’s Take A Good Look at the Spider-Man 2 Video Game
Another Comic-Con trailer we got last week was a story trailer for the upcoming Spider-Man 2 video game. This is going to be one heck of a game and I’m very excited to dive in. The first game and the Miles Morales games were perfect, and I have no doubt that this game will be great too.
And it all looks great! The story looks like a classic Peter in the black suit story, with all sorts of added elements. And Venom looks great. We still don’t know if we’ll get to play as Venom, but surely that will be an option, right? Even if it’s only temporary? We’ll find out.
Also, that bear-dressed Kraven henchman has to be Grizzly, right? He’s clearly more than just a standard goon. He seems to me to be Kraven’s lieutenant. And if Kraven’s lieutenant is gonna wear a prominent bear costume…he damn well better be name-checked as Grizzly! Again, we’ll find out.
Spider-Man 2 comes to Playstation 5 — which I do now own! — on Oct. 20.

The Flash, Animated
The Flash movie is gonna be the biggest bomb of all time, so huzzah for that and good luck to Blue Beetle. But The Flash still happened, and there’s plenty of meat to work with for our pal at Tell It Animated! Enjoy his designs of the Flash’s red costume with yellow accents!
Another banger of an episode. Sometimes I wonder if he should better time these things with the actual film release…but I think The Flash came out on digital release recently? And perhaps he wanted to wait to recap the final scenes in The Flash. Either way, it’s an all-encompassing episode that shows off the Flash, as it is supposed to.
Now do Robin!
