NOC Review: ‘Supergirl’ is the Best Blockbuster of the Summer

June 24, 2026June 24, 2026 Mike Manalo

It’s been a surprising summer for audiences, with surefire blockbusters like The Mandalorian and Grogu and Disclosure Day being met with vitriol and middling or underwhelming returns by mainstream audiences. While potential crowd-pleasers like Toy Story 5 and Spider-Man: Brand New Day are on the horizon, audiences still seem disappointed in big budget studio blockbusters. Thankfully, like the Kryptonian shield of the House of El symbolizes, I have hope that Supergirl will help save the summer.

Seeking Out Secrets on the Set of ‘Supergirl’

June 3, 2026June 17, 2026 Mike Manalo

Back in 2023, when James Gunn and Peter Safran first announced their plans for the DCU, one of the projects they were most excited about was an adaptation of Tom King’s Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. The acclaimed story showed a very different side to Kara Zor-El with terrific action and amazing imagery. Now the world will finally witness that adaptation come to life, when Supergirl finally hits theaters on June 26.

Our Own David Walker is Writing Dynamite’s Shaft

September 16, 2014November 5, 2014 The Nerds of Color

Big news from Dynamite Comics this morning! A few months ago, Dynamite — the independent comics company that specializes in comic adaptations of licensed media — announced they were doing a run based on the classic character Shaft, made famous by the 70s film franchise starring Richard Roundtree. In addition to all new comics and graphic novels, though, Dynamite also intends to republish the original novels by Ernest Tidyma.

This morning, the company announced the creative team on the books would be none other than fellow Nerd of Color David Walker with interiors by Brazilian artist Bilquis Evely! After the jump, check out the official announcement from Dynamite and a peek at the alternate covers for issue #1 (including a collabo between Denys Cowan and Bill Sienkiewicz that should probably be framed and hanging on your wall).
