Pop culture is a never-ending world of updates, teases, trailers, and hopefully releases. What’s New Wednesday is Dorkaholics’ way to keep us all up to date with what’s new across comics, tv, film, games, and more! This week, the focus is on Ultraman: Rising, Horizon: An American Saga, Dìdi, and Dune: Prophecy.

Release Date: On Netflix on June 14, 2024

Synopsis: With Tokyo under siege from rising monster attacks, baseball star Ken Sato returns home to take on the mantle of Ultraman.

Sato must rise above his ego to balance work and parenthood while protecting the baby from forces bent on exploiting her for their own dark plans.

Release Date: In theaters on July 26, 2024

Synopsis: In 2008, during the last month of summer before high school begins, an impressionable 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy learns what his family can’t teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to love your mom.

  1. Dune: Prophecy

Release Date: On Max this fall

Synopsis: Set 10,000 years before the birth of Paul Atreides, Dune: Prophecy traces the origins of the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.

I'm a self-proclaimed "professional dork." I've always been drawn to the creative and imaginative worlds found in comic books, video games, and other forms of entertainment, and I believe that these stories and characters have the power to inspire and bring people together. Through Dorkaholics, I've had the opportunity to attend conventions, interview some of my favorite artists and creators, and connect with a community of like-minded individuals who share my passion for all things dorky. When I'm not writing about the latest pop culture trends, you can usually find me playing video games, reading comic books, or exploring new fandoms. I'm thrilled to be able to share my love of pop culture with the world through Dorkaholics, and I hope to continue to inspire and entertain fellow dorks for years to come.
