If you haven’t been following the recent Superman comics, Superboy-Prime returned last year to help Superman when Darkseid attacked the DC Universe. While Superman was busy fighting in the DC K.O. tournament, Superboy-Prime worked with Lois Lane to try and reach him with a crucial message. Now, Superman is missing, leaving Metropolis unprotected. Luckily, Superboy-Prime has decided to stay and help out. He’s even found a job at a comic book store, and things are going about as you’d imagine.

Many fans consider Daemons of the Shadow Realm the spiritual successor to Fullmetal Alchemist, and the anime has been consistently building its complex story with unexpected turns. While the series initially presents a seemingly peaceful, low-tech world centered around two siblings in a small village, this is a deliberate misdirection. The true story slowly unfolds, revealing that Asa and Yuru are separated for a reason: each possesses immense power that could throw the world into turmoil.

When filming began on Brand New Day last year, Marvel showed off Tom Holland’s new Spider-Man costume, which is inspired by the suits worn by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Although this will be Holland’s primary suit in the movie, he’ll be wearing more than one. The X (formerly Twitter) account Hulk News shared images of Brand New Day Funko Pop figures, including one showing Peter Parker in the Spider-Man suit he wore at the end of No Way Home. You can see the post below.

Early looks at the game showed a map set in a mansion, designed for four teams of three players to battle it out. It appears players will be able to move around in new ways, like running on walls and using a grappling hook, and the game’s visuals are leaning towards more realistic colors. However, players on Discord gave a lot of negative feedback about how the characters move, the different classes available, and the non-player characters in the game.

Many fans loved Mortal Kombat 9 for a variety of reasons. A big part of its appeal was its character roster, which primarily featured familiar faces from previous Mortal Kombat games. While later installments like Mortal Kombat X, Mortal Kombat 11, and Mortal Kombat 1 introduced more new characters, MK9 mostly stuck to its roots, with only one original character (Cyber Sub-Zero) in the main game, and potentially two if you include the Skarlet downloadable content. Focusing on popular, established characters was a smart way to attract players – and it clearly worked – but the game’s appeal went beyond just nostalgia.

The trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day hints that Peter Parker is changing – his body is either breaking down or becoming something more than human. We see him emerge from a strange, organic cocoon, and it looks like he’s developing the ability to shoot webs naturally, which is a big change from the tech-based web-shooters he’s used in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Bruce Banner thinks these changes might be a dangerous genetic mutation, possibly caused by Peter’s loneliness, Spider-Man’s comic book past suggests something else. This could mean Peter is unlocking a powerful, natural side of himself that has always been part of the character in the comics.

Pearly Abyss, the South Korean game developer, has made the first volume of the Crimson Desert Original Soundtrack available for free on Steam. This collection features 75 original music tracks composed by various artists for the open-world RPG. The soundtrack is divided into four parts: music for the story, combat, exploration, and boss battles. You can also find it on YouTube, and Pearl Abyss plans to release it on other streaming services soon, though they haven’t announced which ones or when. Fans have been asking about a physical release, like a vinyl record, but there’s currently no news about that.

The game received an even poorer response than Concord, which quickly launched and then disappeared just weeks later. Despite this, the project continues to move forward.

Lucasfilm’s new animated series, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, brings back the Inquisitors. Marrok, who first appeared in Season 1 of Ahsoka, has a supporting role. He accompanies the Imperial army as they seize control of Janix, searching for Maul. While the younger Marrok is shown as a formidable fighter in Shadow Lord, a particular scene highlights that he isn’t as powerful a foe as Darth Vader.
