Posted on by

Netflix has released a teaser image and a photo from the anticipated Magic: The Gathering series. The animated series is based on the popular game and in production with a new creative direction from showrunner Terry Matalas in partnership with Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast. Supervising Director and EP is Patrick Osborne.

It has been an absolute dream collaboration with NETFLIX, HASBRO ENTERTAINMENT, WIZARDS OF THE COAST, and the brilliant Patrick Osborne to bring the many worlds of MAGIC: THE GATHERING to streaming. Those new to this sprawling saga will learn what millions of fans who play every day already know. MAGIC is the ultimate storytelling sandbox, brimming with iconic, complex characters, extraordinary mind-bending powers, and portals to every genre imaginable. It is also a powerful reminder that no matter what culture, country, or plane of existence you come from, we can all unite and become heroes together.

Vision gets a series as Paul Bettany returns and Star Trek: Picard’s Terry Matalas is tapped as Showrunner

Vision

Looks like we’ll finally find out what happened to Vision after WandaVision as a new series starring the Marvel character is in the works for Disney+. It’s set for 2026 and Paul Bettany will return for the role. Terry Matalas, who was an executive producer on Star Trek: Picard, will serve as the showrunner.

Vision has had a rough go in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The character died at the hands of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. The character was resurrected by his beloved Wanda Maximoff in WandaVision. He was also rebuilt as a ghost white version with no memory of his part. The two versions battled it out at the end of the series with Wanda restoring the memory of the ghost white version and the one she resurrected to fade from existence. The show will presumably follow up on those events.

Make it so with IDW and Star Trek: The Next Generation!
Celebrated writer Brannon Braga makes his triumphant return!

[Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Hive #1 Cover]San Diego, CA (June 15, 2012) – There’s no easy way to say it… the Borg are back. The cubes, the Queen, Locutus, and their intractable stance on resistance have reared their ugly heads once again to jeopardize the fate of our Galaxy. With all evil, though, must come good, and who better to thwart the Borg’s steely agenda than Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise?

For the show’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Hugo Award-winner Brannon Braga, one of The Next Generation’s key writers, is joining forces with fellow Trek scribe Terry Matalas and artist Joe Corroney to bring Captain Picard and the Enterprise’s crew back for a dynamic new journey.

“It’s a thrill and privilege to be writing in the Star Trek universe again,” said Braga. “This graphic medium will provide the narrative ambition and visual scope this story deserves — the final chapter in The Borg saga!”

In a distant future, where the deadly Borg have assimilated the entire Galaxy, Picard, his crew, and some unexpected allies must prove once and for all that resistance is not futile! Packed with mind-bending twists, time-jumping action, and revered, genre-defining characters, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION: HIVE promises to be a must-read event for fans of the TNG’s intrepid legacy.

This September, tell your local comic shop to make it so!

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION: HIVE #1 ($3.99, 32 pages, full color), licensed by CBS Consumer Products, will be available in stores September 2012. Diamond order code: JUL12 0282.
