While they often prioritize practical effects and use color to enhance their stories, each film offers a unique vision and transports viewers to strikingly different and beautiful worlds.
Here are the five NES games that defined the ’80s.
The latest issue of Absolute Batman, #14, delivered a truly intense and violent showdown between Batman and his powerful enemy. It was his most physically brutal fight yet, packed with shocking imagery. However, beyond the action, this story really focused on Batman’s inner strength and emotional core – something Absolute Batman has always been good at.

The anime’s first two seasons cover the first four books of The Apothecary Diaries light novel series, and Season 3 will begin with book five, following Jinshi and Maomao as they investigate strange events.

After 11 years, the novel series has released a total of 16 volumes as of November 2025.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate recently saw a significant price jump – a 50% increase that upset many long-time subscribers.

For those who primarily use cloud gaming, this actually could mean a lower cost, as it used to be exclusive to the more expensive Ultimate plan. It seems this change has led to a surprisingly large number of people trying out cloud gaming.
Even though South Park recently made a joke about the show losing quality due to its political humor, previews of the next episode seem to be a major departure from everything it’s done before. This makes me a little wary, and I have a couple of ideas about why that might be.
