Link Tank: How Marvel’s Helstrom Missed Its Mark

New DVD release, ,
Marvel TV shows are generally more hits than they are misses, but Helstrom, the newest attempt on Hulu, may be its worst effort yet. “Have we reached the tipping point of comic book pop culture saturation? It’s a question I asked myself after watching the first three episodes of Marvel’s Helstrom, the horror-themed new series that premiered on Hulu this weekend. After a record-breaking run at the box office, Marvel Studios is looking to match their big screen success with several new series across multiple platforms.” Read more at The Mary Sue.

Helstrom: The Comic History of Marvel’s Son of Satan

New DVD release, , , ,
On Oct. 16, Hulu will be releasing the latest Marvel tie-in series Helstrom. It’s not so much like one of those upcoming Disney+ MCU shows that feature high-profile superheroes telling stories that will be important to the overall fictional universe. It’s more like Daredevil or Runaways where quality be damned, you’re never going to hear anyone in the movies make anything close to a reference to it, but it counts as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe anyway. The series is about siblings Daimon Helstrom and Ana Helstrom, who have seemingly normal lives, but oppose demons and evil people on…

How Helstrom Became One of Marvel Television’s Last Shows Standing

New DVD release, , , , ,
Hell hasn’t quite frozen over on the Vancouver set of Marvel’s Helstrom but it’s close. A chill can be felt even inside the fabricated walls of St. Teresa’s Church as Tom Austen, who plays the titular Daimon Helstrom, sits down to talk with the press. It’s February and the show is months from its release date but Austen is already wearing the classic “Marvel leading man undercover” look, with a logo-less black hat atop his head. He’s prepared to discuss many aspects of Marvel’s first horror series, chief among them: just how much fun it is to set things on…

Marvel’s Helstrom Trailer and Release Date

New DVD release, , ,
With Marvel taking its television spinoffs to Disney+ and making them more high-profile and important to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one does get a little nostalgic for the default kind of Marvel show. The kind that takes place in that universe, but probably won’t get any references on the big screen. The kind of show where you’d see someone like Quake or the Defenders or the Runaways or Cloak and Dagger. While we wait for them to announce a series for D-Man or NFL Superpro, we can at least get ready for this October’s Helstrom. Helstrom is the story of…
