News IDW Four IDW Comics Have Adaptations in the Works An exciting slate of stories have begun their adaptation journeys… By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on January 31, 2025 Credit: IDW Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: IDW The comic book publishing house IDW recently issued an investors’ report, and in its pages (via Bleeding Cool), we found out about four comics with screen adaptations in the works. Those four titles are 2023’s Dungeon from Scott Snyder (Superman Unchained) and Hayden Sherman, 2019’s The Kill Lock by Livio Ramondelli, 2021’s The Delicacy by James Albon, and 2016’s Brutal Nature by Luciano Saracino and Ariel Olivetti. Dungeon was part of Snyder and Sherman’s Dark Spaces project and centers on a family who moves to rural, upstate New York only to find a dungeon under their property with the warning, “Tell No One.” It’s getting a film adaptation with Spooky Pictures/Vertigo Entertainment. The Kill Lock is written and drawn by Ramondelli and is a sci-fi tale centered around four robots banished from their home planets and bound by a kill lock: if one of them dies, they all do. It’s currently in development at Amazon as a television series. The Delicacy centers on two brothers trying to make it in culinary London and discover a mushroom that catapults them to chef stardom. That fungus, however, has a dark side to its growth. It’s at Warner Bros. Television for a series adaptation. Brutal Nature centers on a man named Ich who uses a series of masks to change into different beasts with different powers. His use of them starts a war between indigenous Colombians and the Spanish Empire. It’s at Anima Studios, a Mexico-based animation house to be made into a TV series. Exciting stuff! We don’t have any additional news yet on these projects, however, including where they all are in the development phase and when we might see them on the screen. Hopefully we’ll more information on them sooner rather than later.[end-mark] The post Four IDW Comics Have Adaptations in the Works appeared first on Reactor.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday pledged that the Trump administration will eliminate DEI practices at the Federal Aviation Administration in the wake of a midair collision Wednesday night that killed 67. Much of the briefing served to back up President Donald Trump’s implication the day before that diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at the FAA might have led to the crash over Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Can you imagine?”  Leavitt opened Friday’s briefing by outlining the president’s work before and after the crash to root out DEI hiring processes from the FAA. “On his second day in office, the president signed a memorandum to immediately stop Biden DEI hiring programs and return to nondiscriminatory, merit-based hiring,” Leavitt said. The press secretary also spoke on Trump’s post-collision order for the FAA to review its hiring protocols. “The review will include a comprehensive assessment and reversal of any deterioration in hiring standards and aviation-safety standards and protocols during the previous administration,” she said. A female reporter asked Leavitt whether she was worried that more crashes could occur as a result of Trump’s downsizing of the federal government.

The spokeswoman called DEI hiring processes “unacceptable,” adding, “When you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones—which every one of us in this room has—do you pray that your plane lands safely and gets you to your destination, or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer to that question, and as President Trump said yesterday, it’s common sense.” The post ‘Unacceptable’: Trump Spokeswoman Reaffirms War on DEI at FAA After Fatal Midair Collision appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Nicaragua’s government has expelled approximately 30 Poor Clare nuns from their convents in Managua and Chinandega, marking the latest crackdown from Daniel Ortega’s regime.  The nuns were only allowed to take some of their belongings before they were forced to leave, according to a local report by Mosaico CSI.  The government’s crackdown comes after Ortega’s regime seized the seminary of the Diocese of Matagalpa in Nicaragua on Jan. 20.   Pillar Catholic reported that half of the 60 students studying at the San Luis de Gonzaga Seminary were present during the confiscation. Those present were sent home by the police.  San Luis de Gonzaga Seminary served as an important part of the local Catholic community, teaching seminarians from the Matagalpa and Siuna dioceses, among others.  The confiscation is a continuation of the persecution of Catholics under Ortega’s rule.  Since the infamous Ortega’s return to power, Matagalpa has lost over 60% of its clergy, and Nicaragua as a country has lost 20% of its total clergy.  On Jan. 16, days before the seizing of the seminary, the Sandinista-led Nicaraguan government confiscated the Matagalpa diocese’s La Cartuja Pastoral Center.   Vatican News wrote, “As reported by several eyewitnesses, paramilitaries had raided the facility and forcibly removed dozens of faithful who were attending a spiritual retreat.”  Bishop Rolando Álvarez of the Matagalpa diocese, who was initially sentenced to 26 years in prison, has been living in exile in Rome since January 2024 following a one-year prison sentence on the charge of treason, according to Catholic News Agency.  Father Frutos Valle was appointed apostolic minister after Álvarez’s sentencing, allowing him to carry out pastoral governance duties. Valle was also detained by police.  The Catholic Church has faced intense persecution from Ortega since 2022.   According to an article by The Daily Signal, “Ortega’s regime has implemented numerous anti-Catholic policies, such as stopping restrictions of nongovernmental groups, expelling nuns, forcing the closure of Catholic charities and educational projects, suppressing media outlets, and banning Easter and Way of the Cross processions.”  On Dec. 2, 2024, Pope Francis wrote a pastoral letter urging the Catholics of Nicaragua, “Do not forget the Lord’s loving Providence, which accompanies us and is our only sure guide.”   The regime is not only hostile to Catholics and other religious groups, but also toward citizens who protest the government.  In 2023, the Nicaraguan government exiled 222 political prisoners, leading opposition, and student activists to the United States. They were stripped of their Nicaraguan citizenship.   In an interview with National Catholic Reporter, Miguel Flores, one of the 222 political prisoners said, “That’s when we became stateless, without a country, and so, in the end, our freedom wasn’t real because freedom means being able to remain in one’s country.” The post Daniel Ortega Expels Nuns, Seizes Seminaries as Religious Persecution Intensifies in Nicaragua appeared first on The Daily Signal.
