Horror icons and comic books – it’s been a tricky combination to make work over the years. In my younger days I was heavily involved in the world of comics, and as a lifelong horror fan it was always exciting when a publisher won the rights to produce a book based on one of the …
The box office dominance of Jurassic World has truly been a sight to behold, and the numbers show that the long-awaited sequel not only had the most profitable domestic opening weekend of all time, but also the biggest global opening in the history of mankind.
