You can preorder the $40 kit now, ahead of its Oct. 1 release, immortalizing the Hawkins crew no matter what heartache season 5 has in store for us.
If that's not enough, fans and Comic-Con attendees can check out the details -- including facial expressions -- on Lego's DC Batman Arkham Asylum bricks. With nearly 3,000 pieces, the completed set is over a foot high and has inmate cells, two floors and 16 figurines that put characters like Batman, Bane, the Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and Catwoman in your hands.

And for fans who appreciate classic video games, the Lego Nintendo Game Boy model will also be on display. The 421-piece set bears an uncanny resemblance to the handheld console and is equipped with a Game Pak slot and Lego versions of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Super Mario Land paks. You can switch out the screens on the model to show either the Nintendo start-up screen or one of the game screens. This set will be priced at $60, and you can preorder it ahead of its official global launch on Oct. 1.

Kamala Harris's Post-Election TV Diet: ‘Lots of Cooking Shows'
Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night's highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now. Questions? Read the Book. Kamala Harris appeared on Thursday's 'Late Show,' giving Stephen Colbert her first interview since she lost the presidential election to Donald Trump in November. 'First of all, you look rested,' Colbert told the ex-vice president, who was promoting her forthcoming campaign memoir. Harris said she was, and then asked Colbert how he was doing, a nod to 'Late Show's' recently announced cancellation. 'I'll get plenty of rest in June,' he said. Colbert had questions about the 2024 campaign, many of which Harris responded to by saying that the answers would be in her book, '107 Days.' 'There's a lot of personal stuff in the book. I mean, poor Dougie,' Harris said with a laugh, referring to her husband, Douglas Emhoff. 'You've blown the lid off of Doug? What's going on?' — STEPHEN COLBERT'For example, my birthday's in October. The election's in November. You see where I'm going? And Dougie kind of dropped the ball on my big birthday.' — KAMALA HARRIS'He didn't get you anything?' — STEPHEN COLBERT'Oh, you have to read the book.' — KAMALA HARRIS Colbert gave Harris credit for predicting what Trump would do if elected. 'You said he would prosecute his political enemies, he would cut Medicaid and Medicare. He would ignore court orders, he would alienate our allies, he would give massive tax cuts to the rich. And I know you're not here to say, 'I told you so,' but would you like to?' — STEPHEN COLBERT'Let me just say this — you are correct that I did predict a lot of it. But Stephen, what I did not predict was the capitulation. I didn't predict that.' — KAMALA HARRIS Harris said it took 'months' before she could watch the news again after her loss. 'You know, I'm just not into self-mutilation,' she told Colbert. Instead, she watched 'lots of cooking shows.' The Punchiest Punchlines (Presidential Fitness Test Edition) 'President Trump signed an executive order today to revive the Presidential Fitness Test for public schools, and then immediately had to lie down for a bit.' — SETH MEYERS 'Yeah, which means now children will have to be as fit as President Trump.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'Trump's very into fitness. In fact, right now he's trying to run from the Epstein story as fast as he can.' — JIMMY FALLON 'Yeah, the Presidential Fitness Test is back. Trump was like, 'It's time to bring back my favorite sport: public humiliation.'' — JIMMY FALLON 'Apparently, it changed in 2012 during the Obama administration to focus more on individual health than athletic feats. Boo! Make the children perform athletic feats for our amusement! I had to do it when I was in school, and so did all of you — and I think every child should have a chance to struggle through timed situps while the meanest boy in school sits on their feet and farts.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'Yeah, Trump says he wants to ensure America's future generations are strong, healthy and successful. At least, I think that's what he said. He was gnawing on a K.F.C. 12-piece at the time.' — JIMMY FALLON The Bits Worth Watching Desi Lydic weighed in on the debate over Sydney Sweeney's new American Eagle ad on 'The Daily Show.'

The New Spider-Man Animated Series Comic Will Keep MJ's Return Under Wraps (for Now)
In June, Spider-Man fans learned that one of the character's most enduring cliffhangers was finally going to get resolved. But if you've been wondering since 1998 how Peter Parker managed to reunite with MJ, whose whereabouts were unknown when Spider-Man: The Animated Series concluded, it seems the new comic Spider-Man '94 isn't going to get into the gritty details just yet. How's that again? Well, the Marvel Comics press release announcing the comic teased, 'After searching to the ends of the Multiverse, Peter Parker swings back into the streets of New York City with his beloved Mary Jane Watson in tow!' and that 'legendary Spider-Scribe J.M. DeMatteis and rising star artist Jim Towe bring you the return you've all been waiting 30 years for!' So it didn't actually say we'd learn how Peter found MJ or what it took to bring her back. And fans of X-Men '97 will recall MJ had a cameo in the finale, so we already knew she (not her clone this time) had made it back somehow. Speaking to DeMatteis offered some clarification on what readers can expect. Rather than jumping into the action right after The Animated Series ended, the story explored in Spider-Man '94 will pick up sometime after the fact. 'We learn that Peter has gone to hell and back in order to bring MJ home, that they've had an incredible, harrowing adventure along the way, but we don't get into the details,' the writer explained. 'As our story opens, they're home and ready to begin a new life together.' However, before anyone starts screaming about that approach being a cop-out, he did add this: 'That said, if this mini does well, we can double back and find out exactly what happened in the next one.' Spider-Man '94 #1 arrives September 3. Will you be reading to see what this version of the web-slinger gets up to next? Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.
