To fully appreciate the latest Venom, it might be beneficial to reflect on the characteristics that set apart the original Venom and its recent incarnation. The initial Venom served as an exploration of what would happen if Spider-Man became a violent antihero, akin to the rising number of antiheroes in the early 90s. After coming into contact with Spider-Man’s discarded clothes, Eddie Brock took up protecting people by employing lethal force. As he came to realize that his actions were wrong, he embarked on a journey toward heroism, albeit one that was less than perfectly virtuous. This transformation made him less interesting for Marvel, leading them to remove the Venom symbiote from Brock and pass it to questionable characters like Lee Pace and Mac Gargan before eventually landing with Flash Thompson. This transition served as a dramatic change in Thompson’s character, mirroring the complexities of heroism in post-9/11 society, culminating in his transformation into a Spaceknight wearing black-and-white armor.

We’ve talked quite a bit about “GSC Game World’s S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl,” both before and after its release. Being the follow-up to the cherished sandbox shooter series, which was initially unveiled in 2010 but later shelved only to be revived again in 2018, it’s been a long-awaited game with quite a bit of excitement surrounding it.

For many years, Two-Face, also known as Harvey Dent, has been a formidable adversary for Batman, causing distress among the citizens of Gotham City with his skewed interpretation of justice. Unlike other popular DC Comics villains, Two-Face hasn’t had an ongoing series until now. In this first solo venture for Two-Face, writer Christian Ward and artist Fabio Veras establish a fitting backdrop for the Batman antagonist who is trying to relinquish control from his tormented side. As Two-Face #1 initiates the series, there seems to be much anticipation for this exploration into the shadowy depths of Gotham City.

For quite some time now, Nightdive Studios has been thriving, garnering widespread praise for revamping timeless games such as Bladerunner, Quake 2, Star Wars: Dark Forces, and Doom 1 + Doom 2. Their forthcoming project is a lesser-known gem from the early 2000s – The Thing by Computer Artworks.
