Min 4: MARVEL ZOMBIES (Disney +) “Marvel Zombies” ya está en Disney+ como una de las apuestas más arriesgadas de la factoría Marvel. Inspirada en los célebres cómics creados por Robert Kirkman, la serie de animación retoma la premisa presentada en el episodio de What If...?, donde algunos de los héroes más emblemáticos del universo Marvel se ven arrastrados por una plaga que los convierte en muertos vivientes. Con un estilo visual potente y un tono más adulto y oscuro que otras producciones del estudio, la serie coloca al espectador ante un espectáculo sangriento en el que los iconos de siempre se transforman en monstruos devoradores. CALIFICACIÓN EDCS: 4 estrellas Min 7 POQUITA FE 2 (Movistar+) Tras un impasse de tres meses, la segunda temporada retoma la historia de Berta (Esperanza Pedreño) y José Ramón (Raúl Cimas) justo cuando su crisis de pareja sigue abierta. Al ser desalojados de su piso, la pareja se ve obligada a mudarse con los padres de ella mientras esperan que otro inmueble quede libre en unos meses. Pero la convivencia familiar se complica aún más cuando su cuñada —también sin hogar— decide instalarse con ellos. La serie explora las tensiones cotidianas que surgen al compartir techo: silencios incómodos, choques generacionales y conflictos en miniatura que resuenan con cualquier persona que haya vivido bajo el mismo techo. CALIFICACIÓN EDCS: 3,5 estrellas Min 16 LA CASA GUINNESS (NETFLIX) “La casa Guinness”, serie estrenada en Netflix el 25 de septiembre de 2025, es un drama histórico creado por Steven Knight, quien también escribió el guión y actúa como uno de los productores ejecutivos. Ambientada en Dublín, 1868, la trama arranca tras la muerte del patriarca Sir Benjamin Guinness, dejando a sus cuatro hijos —Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Edward (Louis Partridge), Anne (Emily Fairn) y Benjamin “Ben” (Fionn O'Shea)— encargados de decidir el futuro del imperio cervecero familiar, pero con secretos, rivalidades y ambiciones que amenazan con quebrar la alianza fraterna. CALIFICACIÓN EDC: 3,5 estrellas Min 28: PUBERTAD (Max) Pubertat” es una miniserie de seis episodios creada, dirigida y protagonizada por Leticia Dolera para Max (HBO Max), que se adentra en los recovecos más incómodos de la pubertad, el consentimiento y los silencios familiares. La trama arranca durante una noche de San Juan en una comunidad catalana de tradición castellera, cuando una denuncia de agresión sexual en redes sociales señala a tres adolescentes como responsables. Dolera interpreta a Júlia Esparver, socióloga feminista y madre de uno de los acusados, obligada a enfrentarse a la dualidad entre defender a su hijo y asumir las consecuencias morales del hecho. CALIFICACIÓN EDCS: 3,5 estrellas Min 38: BSO STICKS: CRACKS DEL GOLF En “Estamos de Cine Series” ponemos el foco en la música de la serie Sticks: Cracks del Golf, una producción de Apple TV+ cuya banda sonora original lleva la firma del compositor Zachary Dawes, conocido por sus trabajos con la banda sonora de The Tender Bar o su participación en grupos como Mini Mansions. A su partitura se suma una selección de más de 40 canciones que van de The White Stripes a Rosalía, pasando por clásicos de Crosby & Nash, ZZ Top o T. Rex, configurando un universo sonoro tan ecléctico como los propios personajes que habitan esta historia de ambiciones, golpes de suerte y redención en los campos de golf. CALIFICACIÓN EDCS: 3 estrellas
En este episodio exploramos Marvel Zombies, la saga que en 2005 redefinió el género con la impronta de Robert Kirkman, el mismo guionista que poco antes había dado forma a The Walking Dead. Una obra que llevó a los héroes más reconocidos de Marvel a un terreno brutal, sin redención posible, y que se convirtió en un clásico de culto entre lectores exigentes. Con el estreno de la serie animada de Marvel Studios como disparador, repasamos su origen, el impacto cultural y cómo dialoga con la tradición zombi que marcó toda una época.con Tomi Favero y Damián Pérez¡Siempre con el aguante comiquero de MERIDIANA!Buscanos en Instagram,y si sos fan del programa pedinos ingreso a Discord.

Jace joins Robert Kirkman and David Finch at the press room for Skinbreaker at SDCC 2025. This is a project that is over 7 years in the making. The success Robert has had with other long-term series such as Walking Dead and Invincible has allowed this project to unfold at a slower pace and give David the chance to take his time and put as much detail into the art as he wanted. Plenty of talk about the process, detail and collaboration as well as the decision to release the project as single issues rather than the initial over-sized one-shot originally planned. The creators were a bit cagey about details of the story, but only because they want the story to be discovered by the audience on its own.

I just may, whaddya say? Comic-Con came and went this year, and maybe because the MCU and DCU were so muted, but there were still some good announcements. Xbox says game pass revenue is up, so is it profitable? Wolfenstein is heading to TV, and EA says no to $80. Air Bud is returning and I have serious questions, South Park takes time in its return, Star Trek goes all in on Comic Con, plus reviews of Happy Gilmore 2 and Fantastic Four!

Along the way, they unpack the pains of modern TV consumption, vent about doomed adaptations, and gush over goth rock albums and short-form sci-fi. It's a heartfelt mix of media love, mild despair, and giant robots punching each other in the face—with feeling.Show Notes:Peter kicks things off with a July 4th check-in and a quick rundown of what he's been reading and listening to, including Atomic Habits and the debut album by High Parasite, a side project involving My Dying Bride's Aaron Stainthorpe.Murderbot adaptation on Apple TV+ gets a thoughtful breakdown: Peter shares his appreciation for its tone, visuals, and how closely it mirrors Martha Wells' novella All Systems Red, especially its deadpan view of humanity and delightful Sanctuary Moon cutaways.Discussion veers into TV trust issues—how shows like Paper Girls and Wheel of Time were abandoned too early by streamers like Amazon and Netflix, and why Apple TV+'s longer-term faith in its properties (Slow Horses) earns praise.Eden questions the fractured nature of modern TV popularity, riffing on Yellowstone's massive reach despite their total ignorance of anyone watching it.A segment on Eden's short-lived journey into the glitchy, chaotic world of gacha game Re Memento: White Shadow, complete with mistranslations and catastrophic layoffs.Peter shares exciting news about planning a trip to Japan for his 27th wedding anniversary—and the hurdles of learning Japanese through Duolingo.For our main topic, we dive into the first arc of Daniel Warren Johnson's Transformers comic:Eden provides background on the series and its creative team, praising Johnson's gritty, wrestling-inspired action sequences and nuanced character work.Peter offers perspective as a lifelong fan reconnecting with the property, reflecting on the emotional impact of Optimus Prime, especially how the comic echoes the trauma of Transformers: The Movie (1986).Highlights include gruesome Starscream moments, human character development (especially Sparky's sacrifice), and Optimus wielding Megatron's blaster arm.Both hosts discuss the comic's balance between fresh storytelling and homage to classic G1 design and lore.Closing thoughts touch on the excitement (and dread) around Robert Kirkman taking over the series soon, and how this arc was a rewarding, if nostalgia-heavy, entry point for fans old and new.

What part of his history were you most excited to dig into, and what makes your take on the Goblin stand out?Norman's been a villain, a businessman, a politician, and sometimes even a twisted version of a hero. How do you approach writing a character who's constantly shifting between personas?Your Godzilla: Escape the Deadzone series introduces a walled-off wasteland, kaiju lore, and the myth of a half-man, half-kaiju survivor. How did you approach building suspense and worldbuilding in this isolated, almost post-apocalyptic setting?Writing Godzilla means balancing spectacle with humanity. What's your approach to telling grounded stories in the shadow of kaiju-level destruction?Now onto Blink and You'll Miss It — the tone and premise feel so personal and unique. How did this story come together, and what inspired you to tell a love story with a sci-fi twist?There's a big emotional core in Blink and You'll Miss It, but also some wild time-manipulation ideas. How did you balance the heart with the high-concept hook?You're juggling three very different projects — a Marvel villain origin, a giant monster epic, and a bittersweet romantic mini. How do you shift your mindset between such wildly different tones and genres?All three books deal with identity in some form — Norman's fractured psyche, a couple navigating time, and characters caught between humanity and monsters. Is that a theme you're consciously exploring across your work, or something that just naturally emerges?Fun one to wrap things up: If the Green Goblin got his own kaiju-sized glider and showed up in the Godzilla universe… how long would he last, and which monster would absolutely wreck him first?

What drew you to the exquisite corpse method as a structural framework—and how did it shape your writing process across collaborators?2. You've said before that horror lets you explore personal fears in metaphorical ways—what fear sits at the heart of Exquisite Corpses for you personally?3. This project is filled with shifting tones and visual voices—how did you maintain thematic cohesion across multiple artists and chapters?4. You've tackled horror through multiple lenses—from psychological horror in The Nice House on the Lake to body horror in Something is Killing the Children. Where does Exquisite Corpses fall on your personal horror spectrum?5. You've spoken about burnout and choosing joy in your writing—did this collaborative process reawaken anything in you creatively?6. There's a class warfare element baked into the DNA of Exquisite Corpses. How important was it for you to make that commentary explicit rather than just subtext?7. You're known for big ideas in genre fiction. Was there ever a version of Exquisite Corpses that could've been a prose project or TV pitch—or was comics always the only way this could work?8. What's one element in Exquisite Corpses—a character, twist, or scene—that you're most excited for readers to finally experience, but can't say anything about yet?

With the Invincible animated series propelling more and more fans to the comic books, now is the perfect time for Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley to reteam on a new series. In a universe populated with numerous rich, wild characters, they could have revamped an infinite number of ideas. They chose Battle Beast, the white lion-like humanoid cursed with an unquenchable rage, and in doing so, Kirkmann and Ottley create an opportunity to reframe the character's original narrative. Battle Beast first appeared in Invincible #19 (2004) and did not return until Invincible #55 (2008). Between those comics is a massive swath of time, and the new series, Invincible Universe: Battle Beast, will explore it fully. The first issue arrives in comic shops next Wednesday. If it's any indication, when this series is over, it will radically alter our understanding of Battle Beast's narrative and its place within the larger Invincible storyline. This week, we trap Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley in our Zoom room. We examine how this first issue challenges our previous interpretation of the title character, the pain at Battle Beast's core, and the brilliant action that erupts from it. Having built a utopia on his homeworld through violent combat, Battle Beast seeks an end through a worthy opponent.
