They’re not just at Freddy’s anymore.

In 2023, Blumhouse’s box-office horror phenomenon Five Nights at Freddy’s, based on the blockbuster game series by Scott Cawthon, became the highest-grossing horror film of the year. Now, a shocking new chapter of animatronic terror begins.

One year has passed since the supernatural nightmare at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. The stories about what transpired there have been twisted into a campy local legend, inspiring the town’s first ever Fazfest.

Former security guard Mike (Josh Hutcherson) and police officer Vanessa (Elizabeth Lail) have kept the truth from Mike’s 11-year-old sister, Abby (Piper Rubio), concerning the fate of her animatronic friends.

But when Abby sneaks out to reconnect with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, it will set into motion a terrifying series of events, revealing dark secrets about the true origin of Freddy’s, and unleashing a long-forgotten horror hidden away for decades.

The cast of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 includes returning co-stars Theodus Crane as Jeremiah and the legendary Matthew Lillard as William Afton. The film features new characters played by Freddy Carter (Shadow and Bone, Pennyworth), Wayne Knight (Jurassic Park, Seinfeld), Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters franchise, Annabelle Comes Home) and horror icon S***t Ulrich (Scream, Riverdale).

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is directed by acclaimed returning filmmaker Emma Tammi and is written by game series creator Scott Cawthon.

The film is produced by Blumhouse founder and CEO Jason Blum and Scott Cawthon, who together produced the first film. The executive producers are director Emma Tammi, Beatriz Sequeira, Christopher Warner, Russell Binder and Marc Mostman.

The first Freddy’s film opened to a record-shattering $80 million in October 2023 and went on to earn almost $300 million worldwide.

#15> WHO WILL SURVIVE THE DREADNOK WAR?

Duke and Cobra Commander are confronted by an enemy they never expected.

But the Dreadnoks aren’t far behind...

The twice-monthly G.I. Joe epic continues RIGHT HERE.
(S) Joshua Williamson (A) Tom Reilly, Jordie Bellaire
Smurfs Take> The appearance of a fan favorite character that never appeared in the classic cartoon series. Surprised and ecstatic in the choice along with how well thought out this story and series has been to date. It’s really giving me the feels of the early days of the Marvel Joes run but with better character choices. Excited to see where the war takes us and expecting to see this end with the “Capture of the Cobra Commander”.

#4> DROP THE SMOKE – Part One
As Bruce Wayne investigates the Crown of Storms, Batman pursues Anarky and discovers a criminal conspiracy hiding in plain sight that will change the game for crime and criminals in Gotham City…and the world!
(S) Matt Fraction (A) Jorge Jimenez
Smurfs Take> This has been a great read for me so far. Everything I loved about Batman back in the day and a massive step forward to where we are. Now that we have a working foundation it’s time to get with the story! Matt has set a wonderful stage with some not so common characters that should lead to an interesting story. I can easily see this becoming a must have run.

#1> STEPHEN STRANGE, STRANDED! After becoming Sorcerer Supreme of Asgard, Strange lost his chance at redemption - and revenge against Doom - when Loki murdered Thor, cutting Midgard off from the other nine realms. With no way home and few allies remaining in Asgard, Strange travels to Alfheim to investigate an emerging crisis. But in an unfamiliar land, can Strange prevent elves and angels from going to war over a mysterious coffin? Maybe with some help from Heven's own ANGELA! Derek Landy and Ivan Fiorelli join forces for a bold, new era of Doctor Strange that will take him on a true JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY…
(S) Derek Landy (A) Ivan Fiorelli
Smurfs Take> Of all of the characters I expected to end up in Asgard (Hulk mainly) Doctor Strange was the last one. That being said I love this idea and about time we get a little more time with Angela. Strange suffers from the same issues that Iron Man does, great start or solid idea that falls apart or doesn’t go anywhere. I loved the series that focused on the cost of magic and the prisoner Strange had locked away in the basement. A little more action might be called for and this could very well deliver, a very wild DND champagne awaits us.

#3> HAUNTED! Gwen Stacy takes the investigation of her father's death into her own hands-and sets out to unmask Spider-Man! Meanwhile, Spider-Man Noir's got another new rogue on his hands-meet PLASMA-MAN!
(S) Erik Larsen (A) Marika Cresta
Smurfs Take> I might have said this last month but….Larsen’s love for Spider-Man shines in this series and is unlike any of the other Spider stories out there. It’s making me all the more excited for the Netflix series coming with Nick Cage even more. Solid story, solid character, even better world.

#9> PART NINE
Somewhere in Coast City, Jo Mullein is babysitting a comatose Hal Jordan…at her ex-wife’s place. Awkward doesn’t cover it. Meanwhile, Agents Simon Baz and Kari Limbo are getting closer to the mysteries of Evergreen–and so is Hector Hammond and his top assassin…the man called Nemesis!
(S) Al Ewing (A) Jahony Lindsay
Smurfs Take> Take the war of light and just amp it up to 10K! Taking the GL lore and just twisting it beyond anything the fans have ever experienced is masterful and crazy all at once. There is a lot going on in this story, I mean a lot and at some points in the story a little overwhelming as it draws from a lot of different things and characters that we have seen over the years. Absolutely worth the read for existing fans and anyone who has ever been interested in the character.

Now we have another remake/reboot of a classic 80’s Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that was pure cheesy fun entertainment at the time and quite memorable. So, can Hollywood improve on a classic or will they just ruin another great memory of going to the theaters and having a good time? Unfortunately, judging by the ticket sales and reviews… It is not looking good.

*The MEAT* The story is pretty much the same as the original with the exception that they want to explain more and over explain everything else. Sometimes, like in the original, less is more. And I will point out that 2 minutes into the first scene, I could tell that the writing, especially the dialogue, was substandard and that is me being generous. I find it so disappointing when they spend a lot of money on making movies and then give it basic dialogue. Why?

*The PATATOES* The acting begins and ends with Glen Powell, Hollywood’s new *it* guy or at least they’re trying to make him the new *it* guy. Hate to say it but, this role is not going to do it. And it doesn’t help Glen out that he plays opposite Josh Brolin because Josh shows what a much better actor can do with little to work with around him. Just go back and look at the actors that were around Schwarzenegger in his earlier roles, Actors like Tom Arnold or game show hosts like Richard Dawson were there to make Arnold look better. It‘s an old Hollywood trick, but it works.

*The VERDICT* I will admit that this version of ‘The Running Man’ was entertaining enough to not be totally mad at it. But that is not enough to recommend it, and unfortunately, not enough for me to hold back my frustrations as to why it does not work. We are on a serious run of bad movie making and if it doesn’t stop soon, I’m afraid the theater business will not recover because the people in charge are just not giving the movie audience reason to leave their houses. Just makes me sad to say it… Don’t spend money on this one.
Everyone, Please Stay Safe...
Stay Healthy...
And as always… Stay Geeky!

It’s a great day to be comic book enthusiast! Nothing like the smell of commerce in the morning as we go into the Thanksgiving weekend, don’t forget our sponsors All C’s Collectibles who is holding a special in store signing today. Starting at 1pm Dan & Dave Kemp will be at the Aurora location signing for free, they will only be there till 6pm so don’t wait to get there. DC this week returns to the Black Label with the fantastic looking Arcadia, more K.O. tie-in titles and more Godzilla Kong. Image holding strong with a few new trades from Free Planet, Lady Mechanika and Void Rivals, while it’s starting to look like a Spawn kind of Christmas. Palmiotti returns to Marvel with a Dardevil/Punisher story, Thor, and Boba Fett like we’ve never seen him before in the Black, White & Red series. Thundercats, Supernatural, and Conan finish off this Thanksgiving buffet to complement the five stacked high ready to fly.

#14> ABOMINATION – Conclusion
Batman and Catwoman face down Bane in a final battle! But once the dust settles, what will it all mean for the future of Batman?
(S) Scott Snyder (A) Nick Dragotta
Smurfs Take> The conclusion we’ve all been waiting for! Combining the Venom and breaking of the Bat story in one long run while creating the most dangerous villains in Batman history was genius. So many good and wild directions for this story that I wasn’t sure it would all come together as well as it has. I mean, where do you go from here? But I guess we all know the answer to that question, just no one wants to say his name just yet. In the meantime, I can’t wait for the slugfest between Bane and Batman that await between these pages.

#3> THE ACCLAIMED HIT FROM ROBERT KIRKMAN AND DAVID FINCH CONTINUES!
New enemies have come for The Elder and his tribe– but are his own people an even greater threat?
(S) Robert Kirkman (A) David Finch, Annalisa Leoni
Smurfs Take> The book is beautiful. Each page is better than the last as it builds the story; just not really sure what that story really is just yet. It’s a work in progress but enough to keep the reader involved and wanting more as Kirkman goes to work doing what he’s good at. Guess I’m just waiting for that Holy Crap moment when the monster comes flying through the doors.

#1> INCREDIBLE...IMMORTAL...INFERNAL! The evil known as Eldest has literally torn Bruce Banner and the Hulk apart and taken the Hulk's body as their own. This new, unstoppable Infernal Hulk is ten times the monster that everyone always feared Hulk would be. Their diabolical plan is to plunge the world back into ancient horrors by transforming our heroes into nightmarish beasts! Meanwhile, the indomitable Bruce Banner, though powerless, will stop at nothing to thwart their evil schemes!
(S) Phillip Kennedy Johnson (A) Nic Klein
Smurfs Take> Not sure how I feel about the ending of the last story arc, the entire thing definitely took Hulk in a different direction than most readers expected. I’m not sure we needed to launch a whole new title to continue the story, but I guess that’s just what Marvel does now. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not ready to walk away from this story after the slow burn they built and a whole new direction for the Hulk can’t be all that bad. Right?

#2> PART TWO
The tournament is in full swing. Heroes have fallen. Darkseid is near. The 32 champions have been chosen, and now they must compete to earn the Heart of Apokolips. The first challenge? Battling across a deadly arena to acquire new weapons of war. The greatest powers of the DC Universe are up for grabs, and whoever holds them will advance to the next level. Superman has his doubts that the Justice League is doing the right thing, but there are others who have no problem killing to get what they want…
(S) Scott Snyder (A) Javier Fernandez
Smurf Take> Well the first issue got my attention. Bold choices and a very interesting story to decide the fate of the DCU, or at least one of them. Seems like a lot of different Earths coming together on this, but that could just be me. But I do like the Contest of Champions/Royal Rumble feel going on and Snyder excels at this type of story.

Black & White Special #2> THE EISNER AWARD-NOMINATED SERIES CONCLUDES IN A GORGEOUS NEW FORMAT!
Dr. John Seward struggles against the mounting evidence that his daughter is under the thrall of a blood-sucking supernatural being! But nothing can prepare him for the final confrontation with Van Helsing, and Count Dracula!
(S) James Tynion IV (A) Martin Simmonds
Smurfs Take> This was a spectacular first issue. Just when I thought I was burnt out on Dracula stories this has to come out and completely prove me wrong. Image has taken all of the Universal Monsters and elevated them for a modern-day taste while staying true to the characters. Top-shelf writing that works seamlessly with the art, an amazing horror experience.
