Harsh Truth About The Sci-Fi Franchise is they don't trust Hollywood with it anymore and give it to Japan anime studios
'Terminator' for example

plus they have their own products with a lot of buzz, this year alone

What was even stranger this year was watching 3 Chinese movies compete against Hollywood, its not unusual to see a foreign movie Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, French etc do well in world wide sales but 3 of the China movies briefly push into the world wide Top10 box office is a bad sign for 'Culture' and entertainment.

Comicbook sales might be back, after getting their ass kicked the past 8-10 years, they took a real beating since Covid losing out to Japanese Manga

but Marvel/DC are still dead

'Bone'

an American fantasy comic book limited series written and illustrated by Jeff Smith

Created newspaper strips some of the characters who later featured in the Bone series, did voice work, worked for animation studios, 1991, Smith launched his company, Cartoon Books, in order to publish the series, in year 2022 Tuki Fight for Fire was included in the American Library Association's list of the Best Graphic Novels for Adults Reading List

Silent Hill

video game franchise created by Team Silent and published by Konami and Konami Digital Entertainment

Gachiakuta is a manga series by Kei Urana about a boy who lives in a slum and is accused of murder. After being dumped into The Pit, Rudo awakens to find himself disoriented in a foul-smelling, endless landscape of trash. Rudo is then attacked by large beasts made of trash, and fends them off until he is rescued by a man named Enjin. The man explains to Rudo that he is in fact not underground, but has fallen to the surface from "The Sphere". After testing him and awakening his power as a "Giver", Enjin invites Rudo to join him as a "Cleaner". Enjin explains that the Cleaners are an organization of Givers who use the power of unique weapons known as "vital instruments" to hunt the trash beasts which attacked him. Rudo reluctantly accepts Enjin's offer to join the Cleaners, so long as it helps accomplish his goal of returning to The Sphere and enacting revenge on those who dumped him into The Pit.
