Written By:

Big Red is back as we celebrate Hellboy returning to our screens with a look forward to the new movie and a history of the character in comics and beyond – including the board game from Mantic! If that’s not enough, we countdown our Top 20 demons!

Elsewhere, we get to the bottom of Shazam! – a different kind of superhero, ponder what we can expect from Avengers: Endgame, get resurrected with Pet Sematary and go on the search for Bigfoot with Missing Link. If that’s not enough, we get under the head of the legendary Frank Sidebottom and his obsession with sci-fi ahead of the release of the documentary Being Frank: The Chris Sievey Story.

We also talk to WolfCop director Lowell Dean about his new film SuperGrid, and Rupert Wyatt, who helmed Rise of the Planet of the Apes reveals all about Captive State.

If that’s not enough, The Priory of the Orange Tree author Samantha Shannon gives us an exclusive insight into her love of dragons plus Horror Obscura looks back at Tom Holland’s classic Fright Night.

Plus all your favourite COLUMNS, NEWS, REVIEWS and much MORE from the worlds of SCI-FI, HORROR and FANTASY!
