Marvel’s current phase in its Ultimate Universe involves significant transformations within the Guardians of the Galaxy. Iron Lad, a character developed by Tony Stark, is working tirelessly to assemble his Ultimates, aiming to defeat The Maker and his corrupt council. Recently, Marvel has unveiled fresh versions of both heroes and villains across its entire lineup of Ultimate comics, but the ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy have yet to make an appearance… until now. These cosmic champions are on par with the Avengers and Ultimates, but their origin story in this universe is markedly different from what most fans are accustomed to.

In the final act of 2024, I found myself drawn back into the chilling world of Squid Game, as its highly anticipated second season unfolded on my screen. Reminiscent characters from last year’s smash hit on Netflix reappeared, once more finding themselves in life-threatening predicaments. The first installment had already established a ruthless universe that catapulted the series to one of the streaming giant’s most successful shows, and the second season proved itself as one of the standout television events of the previous year.

As viewers continue to follow Seong Gi-hun’s quest to dismantle the deadly games from within, the latest season introduced a significant twist when it came to one of the series’ most pivotal elements.

As a long-time comic book enthusiast and fan of both Deadpool and Wolverine, I can confidently say that the upcoming team-up of these two iconic characters is a must-read for any fan of either hero. The chaotic yet entertaining dynamics between Deadpool and Wolverine have always been a delight to follow, and the latest adventure in the comic series “Deadpool/Wolverine” #1 promises to be no exception.

Having grown up reading their individual adventures, I can attest to the classic formula that these characters have followed over the years. However, the new dynamic between them in this series offers a refreshing twist that will undoubtedly keep readers on their toes.

The artwork is also top-notch, with stunning visuals that bring the action and humor to life in a way that only a comic book can do. As someone who has followed these characters for years, I can say that the artwork in this series is some of the best I’ve seen in a while.

All in all, if you’re a fan of Deadpool or Wolverine (or both!), then you won’t want to miss out on “Deadpool/Wolverine” #1. It’s a perfect opportunity to revisit the roots of these characters and witness their chaotic yet entertaining team-up on the comic book page once again. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

This distinctive story promises a twist on the anime’s climax, although specific alterations in Eren Jaeger’s battle with the Scouts remain undisclosed. The new trailer hints at significant changes from what Studio MAPPA’s viewers are accustomed to. Regrettably, the studio responsible for this adaptation faced controversy in 2024 due to the cancellation of their fan project, “Berserk: The Black Swordsman,” following Young Animal’s intervention.
