Luke Cage is finally back, and fans are beyond excited to catch up with the heroes of the Marvel Netflix universe as the series returns for Season 2 this week. When we rejoin our cast of characters (both powered and not) this season, they're each navigating a different set of circumstances. Luke (Mike Colter) is adjusting to his new turn in the spotlight as both a superhero and everyman, but a new villain in Harlem threatens the safety of the neighborhood.

The second season of Marvel's Luke Cage dropped today on Netflix, and there has already been a lot of chatter about how it's better than the first season with rave reviews for Alfre Woodard's Mariah Dillard and a new villain, ">

What a week. All I can say is, at least it's over. And if you didn't catch any nerdy news at all because there was no way to pull your focus from other, real life things going on, who could blame you?

Well, give yourself permission to take a break. These are the five biggest stories from... The Week in Geek!

JURASSIC IS JURBACKSIC

It’s the end of the world as Theo James and Forest Whitaker know it in Netflix’s upcoming film How It Ends, but this first trailer is just the beginning of the end.

Missions to Mars are going to happen. Martian colonies are probably going to happen (whether or not we’ll live to see them is questionable). Could the transformation of a planet that had its atmosphere obliterated billions of years ago also happen?

Preeti Chhibber really needs no introduction, and yet I’m going to introduce her to you all. You all probably know her as a writer for FANGRRLS and Strong Female Characters co-host, as well as as my co-host on the podcast Desi Geek Girls. She’s irrepressible; her enthusiasm for what she loves is contagious.

Good news, Dragon Ball Z fans! Later this year, you’ll be able to revisit some of the earlier adventures of the Saiyan race on the big screen, thanks to Fathom Events and Toei Animation. This fall, three remastered Dragon Ball Z movies are coming to theaters, Entertainment Weekly is reporting. 

Last summer, Atomic Blonde was easily my most anticipated movie. The moment I first saw a trailer for it, I slipped it to the top of my list, and my excitement became a punchline for some of my friends.

Having seen it now and having had some time to process it, I view it as a rare example of a movie that delivered exactly what I expected from the trailer and marketing campaign and left me completely satisfied. 

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is out in theaters, and it's once again giving moviegoers an appreciation for the killer dinosaurs. Fallen Kingdom reflects some of the additional scientific knowledge that's been gained in the 25 years since Jurassic Park hit cinema screens, but it's far from a completely accurate depiction of what dinosaurs were really like.

Every month, SYFY WIRE brings you the solicitations for all the upcoming comic books you need to know about. Today we have Marvel Comics listings for September 2018 single-issue comics.

It's another month of big launches at Marvel, as the Hunt for Wolverine event finally gives way to the Return of Wolverine event, and Spidergeddon launches with a zero issue. Plus, Asgardians of the Galaxy begins and Iceman starts another new solo series.

If you want to go to space, Jeff Bezos might have a golden ticket for you coming very soon. The Amazon mogul’s private space company Blue Origin has announced that space tourists can expect to buy tickets for suborbital space flights starting in 2019.

Los Angeles is a city that defines the term "tourist trap." There are so many places that cater to the average vacationer who doesn't know what they want or want a basic "behind the scenes" experience. But often the hardest thing to find in the City of Angels is a place that celebrates the reason we all love L.A. in the first place: movie stars.

The Mos Eisley spaceport: where everybody knows your name, provided you have the death sentence in 12 systems. Not only is it the infamous spaceport where Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first met Han Solo and Chewbacca in the original 1977 film Star Wars, but it may have also been the focus of a now-scrapped Star Wars spinoff film, according to a rumor being bandied about.

Timeless has already had its time on this Earth extended after a brief brush with cancellation, but now NBC has finally called it quits with the time-travel drama.

NOT THE DIP!

DC Comics is making an ambitious new publishing push aimed directly at Walmart shoppers.

There's no question that Season 2 of Westworld has been a disappointment to some of its fans, who have been working overtime just to work out what the hell has been going on in the puzzling android drama. But co-creator Lisa Joy is here to tell us that good things (i.e answers) come to those of us who wait.

There are a lot of difficult jobs out there in the world. Some are dangerous. Some require you to work long hours or at strange times. Some force you to be available at a moment's notice. Others require you to pounce at just the right time in order to get in on the ground floor.

And then there are the ones that require all of these. Like, for example, becoming the very first nemesis for a burgeoning superhero.

Luckily, Jack Jack has his raccoon.

The Terror was one of the year’s most original and uncompromising pieces of television. The story of a group of sailors searching for the Northwest Passage was full of masculine posturing, deceit, idealism, and abject fear.

A new report could mean that Y: The Last Man TV series in the works from FX is getting closer to hitting TV screens. Earlier this year, the pilot was finally ordered, and now the show might potentially be gaining Oscar winner Jodie Foster.
