The television landscape has just gotten a little sadder now with the news that Starz has cancelled Ash vs. Evil Dead, making the end of Season 3 the last time we'll be tuning in to see the further adventures of Ash Williams and his Ghostbeaters crew. Sad news indeed. The writing was on the wall very early on that this might be the last outing for the famous chainsaw-wielding hero as rumours made the rounds before the start of Season 3 that it would be the last. Starz merely confirmed the cancellation last week. While no reason was stated for the cancellation, chances are that it had to do with the declining viewership numbers for the show. While it's pretty easy to be upset with Starz over the cancellation (where's them pitchforks!), it must be noted that Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell had been trying for years to get another Evil Dead movie off the ground to no avail. Chances are very high that without Starz, we would not have gotten this bonkers and amazing show to begin with. "Ash vs. Evil Dead has been the ride of a lifetime," said Campbell. "Ash Williams was the role of a lifetime. It was an honor to reunite with Evil Dead partners Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi to give our tireless fans another taste of the outrageous horror/comedy they demanded. I will always be grateful to Starz for the opportunity to revisit the franchise that launched our careers." Hopefully there will be enough of a fan movement for the creators and producers to shop the show around, depending on how it ends, to other networks. Better yet if Raimi, Tapert and Campbell can pull one last movie out of the pipeline for the fans. Now if Netflix could come around and do us Deadites a solid...

DC's Injustice comic is a pretty special beast at this point. It's one of the best, and most consistently entertaining, titles that DC has running. The alternate world Injustice universe is a pretty wild ride and it's about to get wilder by indulging in some crossover shenanigans. Set to launch on July 18th with a six issue miniseries, He-Man And The Masters of the Universe will take up arms against the nutjob that is Superman of the Injustice universe in Injustice VS. He-Man And The Masters of The Universe. The official story breakdown: "Believing He-Man and the Masters of the Universe defeated, a robotic impostor has seized control of Eternia — but not for long! After freeing his kingdom from this strongman’s rule, He-Man learns not everyone is pleased to see the pretender deposed — but Adam knows the value of freedom. When heroes from another dimension ask his aid in deposing a superhero turned dictator, he agrees. Teaming up with Batman against the Superman of the Injustice Universe, He-Man and his new allies face dangerous and familiar enemies in a battle where no world is safe!" The series will be written by Tim Seeley (Nightwing,Green Lanterns) and drawn by Freddie E. Williams II, whose worked on such other crossovers as He-Man/Thundercats and Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This isn't the first time that the Masters of The Universe characters have crossed over into DC land. 2013 saw the release of DC Universe Vs. Masters of The Universe, another six issue mini-series. If you haven't read the Injustice comic yet, it comes highly recommended by the Nexus team.

Bungie has just released the name and release date for it's second Destiny 2 expansion. The expansion is titled Warmind and will be releasing on May 8th. The news came through Bungie's Developer Roadmap Post which included an updated Roadmap for Destiny 2's post launch development. No real details on what the expansion would actually be about and contain were released, other than players would be journeying to new locations, meeting new heroes, battling new enemies and mastering new activities while earning new loot. It's all rather vague at the moment, but Bungie promised a more in-depth look at the expansion on April 24th with a reveal stream. Coming off of the criticism that plagued the release of Curse of Osiris, Bungie is making the multiplayer maps for Warmind available to all PVP players in open matches. With the release of private matches, however, players will need to have purchased each expansion if they want those maps for private play. Take a look at the Roadmap to see what other changes are in the offing as Destiny 2's Seasons roll forward.

Written By: Corinna Bechko & Gabriel Hardman Art By: Gabriel Hardman For those of you who may not know about it, the Earth One series from DC is an alternate world take on some of their most iconic heroes. It’s a project in which creators are allowed to reinvent characters for a new age and, hopefully, bring the best out of them and their stories. In many ways the Earth One series is a throwback to DC’s Elseworld titles, where anything could, and usually did, happen without any narrative thread or tissue linking them to other Elseworld titles. Those fantastic ideas were eventually welded into the DC 52 Earth Multiverse. The Earth One line takes over that mantle right now, providing some new, though not overly extreme, takes on DC’s heroes without tying them together into one discernable universe. Hal Jordan, the greatest Green Lantern of them all, is the latest character to receive the Earth One makeover. Jordan’s story is set at some unspecified point in the Earth’s history in which it seems that corporations run a dystopian world with military might. Humanity has advanced technologically far enough to mine asteroids for minerals but not enough to leave Earth behind. The two biggest changes to Hal Jordan have to do with his character and his backstory. Gone is the original Hal Jordan for whom many writers mistook his confidence for arrogance. So too is the brash, cocky and damaged man with father issues that Geoff Johns' re-imagining of his story brought to the modern age. Earth One re-imagines Jordan as an astronaut on one of these mining expeditions who doesn’t want to return to Earth after having placed his faith in the wrong people. The confidence usually associated with Jordan takes a back seat to a humbled man whose only desire was to do the right thing and help people, just to see that goal perverted. It’s a breath of fresh air reading about a hero who is just a man trying to do the right thing even when the fight isn’t his. This time round, the ring isn’t bequeathed to Jordan via a dying alien, but rather discovered in the corpse of an ancient spaceship that had crashed into the asteroid on which they are mining. Before long, through another tragedy, Jordan is flung to the other end of the galaxy to fight for his life against rogue Manhunters while desperately trying to save the galaxy from their tyranny. The iconic Green Lantern power rings, along with the history of the Corps, receive a new makeover that really shakes up the future story possibilities for the franchise. The rings are no longer driven by the strength of a users will, but rather are simple tools using energy that anyone can manipulate. But it was nicely telling at the end of the book that, of all the new ring slingers brought into the final conflict, that it’s only Hal who manages to create an incredibly basic construct from the ring while everyone else is just using them as blasters and shields. With rings scattered throughout the galaxy, and no way of policing who receives them, it’s going to be interesting to see where this goes should the book sell well enough to warrant a sequel. I’m not a fan of Gabriel Hardman’s art for this book though. However, I did enjoy the use of black and shadows along with the sparing use of colour within the book. In most forms of entertainment, space is depicted rather gorgeously, like a travel postcard of “don’t you wish you were here” usage. Here, Hardman makes use of a lot of dark colours and a wonderful smattering of black that highlights the despair that this universe has settled into. From the stagnated Earth culture to the ruins of the enslaved worlds, to the dark between the stars, you know that this is a universe without hope. Only on Kilowog’s peaceful world do we find a bright aesthetic brought to bear which clashes wonderfully with what came before, and what follows after once the Manhunters make their way there. As with previous Earth One titles, Green Lantern poses both moral and cultural questions. What do you stand for? Who do you fight for? Should you help anyone at all? As with previous titles though, it doesn’t do enough to explore those questions either. I think this has more to do with the books other failing than it does with the writing. And that failing is space. Each Earth One title has a story to tell in just a little over 140 pages, and here, as with many of the series' other titles, it really just isn’t enough. Not for the amount of story that the writers have tried to tell in it, let alone exploring the complex themes they introduce. Jordan’s and Kilowog’s space journey to find help alone could easily fill two trades, but here it’s squished into 10 pages. Plot threads are introduced that immediately fall away, unless they’re being kept for a sequel, and a major plot thread isn’t quite given the space it needs to truly smash home just how much larger the fight for the future is. The books other failing, and this also is a failing of the entire Earth One line, is that, despite the changes made, there’s still too much of a need to impose some form of DC’s heroic status quo on the line. Superman still becomes Superman and ends up fighting most of the same baddies as in his main series, and Sinestro’s one line in the book already has you going: “Guess this guy's gonna be a problem.” Hopefully as the Earth One line continues forward, these tropes can be allowed to slip away for even more interesting storytelling. Physically this is a gorgeous hardcover trade in keeping with the rest of the Earth One line. A softcover version will appear down the line, but I really do urge you to collect this hardcover version instead. If you’re looking for a new take on the Green Lantern story, then you need to read this.
