Big Game #5 brings the popular character Eggsy back to life, allowing him to play a role in the series' conclusion and opening the door to future adventures. The conclusion of Big Game sets a new status quo for the Millarverse, paving the way for a new era of stories and more crossovers. Mark Millar's methodical storytelling and the resurrection of characters create a cathartic climax that will leave readers satisfied. The series ties together various elements of Millar's work in a way that makes sense, and doesn't rely on twists or shock value, despite how the series might have initially played out.

Kick-Ass has come out of retirement, with Dave Lizewski putting the costume back on once more – for what could either be the beginning of a new era, or the character's final adventure. Mark Millar's Big Game series has been full of twists and turns, shocks and surprises, but its most exciting moment yet comes as the original Millarverse hero returns to his iconic green outfit, becoming Kick-Ass once more.
Big Game #3 – written by Mark Millar, with art by Pepe Larraz – is the pivot point for the five-issue limited series, as the action of the first two issues peaks with more brutal deaths, while the remaining characters maneuver into position for an explosive conclusion.
With many of the Millarverse's heroes off the board, Kick-Ass' return comes at a crucial moment, but it could mean doom for Dave Lizewski.

Where to Watch Powered by The Boys season 4 could introduce new characters from the original comics or from its spinoffs. Speculation suggests that Tek Knight is the most likely comic character addition to The Boys season 4. The inclusion of characters like Marie Moreau from Gen V is also possible.
The Boys season 4 requires new blood, and these unlucky souls could be in line to join the superhero mayhem when Amazon's TV adaptation returns. Whether it be Aya Cash's Stormfront in season 2 or Jensen Ackles' Soldier Boy in season 3, The Boys adds new figures from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's original comic books each and every season. The Boys season 4 is no different, but the two big additions revealed thus far, Susan Heyward's Sister Sage and Valorie Curry's Firecracker, are both TV-original creations. The same goes for Hughie's mysterious mother, who will be portrayed by Rosemary Dewitt.

HBO has given a pilot order to the drama “Showtime” from director Adam McKay.
Based on Jeff Pearlman’s non-fiction book of the same name, the project will chronicle the professional and personal lives of the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers, one of sports’ most revered and dominant dynasties — a team that defined its era, both on and off the court.
The Lakers roster of that era included notable players including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson and James Worthy — all under the direction of head coach Pat Riley.
McKay will direct and executive produce the project alongside Kevin Messick for his yet-to-be-named production company, which formed following McKay’s recent split from longtime producing partner Will Ferrell.

HBO is bringing the Showtime Lakers to the scripted arena with “Showtime,” Variety has confirmed.
The series, which has received a pilot order at the cabler, hails from Adam McKay, who will direct. “Showtime” will be based on Jeff Pearlman’s non-fiction book “Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s.”
