When the comic of Crisis on Infinite Earths came out, it was a celebration of DC's characters across several generations.  The new crossover event on The CW is now a celebration of the numerous film and TV adaptations that those comics inspired.

As if in response to the ongoing complaints that Superman, as a character, is irrelevant to modern audiences, The CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths event just upped its game and gave us four different versions.  Supergirl's Earth-38 Superman and Lois encounter several across the multiverse, which provides epilogues for three former franchises.  It seems sort of fitting that Smallville's Clark gets a happy ending, after he got rid of his powers and settled down with Lois and their daughters.  Things did not work out quite so well for the other young Superman from Superboy, who died at the hands of Lex Luthor.

Crisis on Infinite Earths is the gold standard for epic crossover event comics, and its adaptation into an Arrowverse crossover event (featuring episodes of the live-action television series Supergirl, Batwoman, The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow on The CW) is shaping up to be television's equivalent.?

As Halloween is fast approaching, the Fanbase Press staff and contributors decided that there was no better way to celebrate this horrifically haunting holiday than by sharing our favorite scary stories! Be they movies, TV shows, video games, novels, or any other form of entertainment, members of the Fanbase Press crew will be sharing their “scariest” stories each day leading up to Halloween. We hope that you will enjoy this sneak peek into the terrors that frighten Fanbase Press!

At San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Fanbase Press' Drew Siragusa talks with writer Jody Houser (Star Wars: Thrawn, Orphan Black) about her work on the Doctor Who comics for Titan, her first introduction to the Doctor, and more.

The second season of American Gods has come to a close with the episode, “Moon Shadow.”  

The latest episode of American Gods, “Treasure of the Sun,” tells the history of Mad Sweeney through a series of flashbacks, and it only seems fitting to depict story of such an unconventional leprechaun backwards.  Starting with a prophecy of his death, his journey traces back to the beginning of his descent.

The Second Golden Age of Television has brought us great serialized entertainment, but there will always be a special place for fantastic standalone episodes. This week's episode of American Gods, “Donar the Great,” demonstrates their importance.  Adapting American Gods into a TV show allows for the source material's mythology to expand and develop concepts that are only touched on in the book.  Thor's story is briefly mentioned in the book, but what was originally a few passing lines now takes on a whole new meaning.  I expect nothing less from an episode directed by Rachel Talalay.

As season 2 of American Gods continues, the show has diverged more and more from the book.  The creators have introduced more characters and made a point to focus on some of the darker atrocities in American culture.  I am not quite sure where they are going with the story this season.  That is not necessarily a bad thing, but I do hope that we'll start to see how some of these tangential threads will be woven together.

The great thing about adapting American Gods into a show is that the medium allows the showrunners to spend time and further develop the story.  Episode 4, “The Greatest Story Ever Told,” had the freedom to explore the previously untold story of the Technical Boy's origin.
