It’s been thirteen years since this game was first revealed, and a lot has changed during development. What makes it so captivating that we’re eager to finish it – or at least see one of its endings – before the year ends?
Seeing Galactus in his classic comic book look in The Fantastic Four: First Steps was a highlight for many fans. However, concept art recently shared by Marvel Studios’ Head of Visual Development, Ryan Meinerding, reveals we almost saw an even more detailed version of the villain. Meinerding explained that while this version wasn’t used in the film, they explored designs inspired by the comics that showed Galactus’ entire face. These images offer a closer look at the character’s skin, features, and how he’s connected to the technology within his helmet, providing a new perspective on the antagonist.
Goku is one of the most iconic anime characters ever created, and his personality – a kind-hearted but somewhat naive fighter – has become a model for many others. Several popular characters clearly take inspiration from Goku, which likely contributes to their own success.
What truly makes Batman’s allies strong is that each one brings a unique kind of strength to the team. They don’t have to be as skilled a fighter or as smart as Batman to be valuable; often, their determination and beliefs are even more impressive than his calm demeanor. Together, they show the collective strength of will that keeps his mission going, even when he struggles. Here’s a look at the most important and powerful members of Batman’s support network.
This game has improved dramatically since it first came out on the PlayStation 4 – and that’s a huge understatement. When it originally launched, it was riddled with technical problems and gameplay issues. It was so flawed that Sony actually offered refunds and eventually removed it from the PlayStation Store.
It’s been a year and a half since that movie came out, and people have been wondering what’s next for Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. The ending of Deadpool & Wolverine suggested more possibilities, unlike the seemingly final ending of Logan. Plus, the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars films will feature other X-Men actors like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. Will Jackman join them? He hasn’t been officially confirmed, but when asked about returning to the role in an interview with Variety, he said:
While a Wonder Woman versus Lobo story sounds exciting, this issue felt more like a Lobo story with Wonder Woman appearing in it, rather than a true team-up. This imbalance is noticeable from the start and continues throughout the entire issue. Even the ending focuses primarily on Lobo’s own struggles. Lobo fans will likely enjoy this, but readers hoping for a Wonder Woman-centered story might find the fight disappointing.
As we reported earlier this week, the show Futurama will no longer be airing on Adult Swim after December 26th. Now, Dragon Ball Z Kai is stepping in to fill the slot, starting December 29th, giving anime fans a new early-morning fix. Futurama isn’t the only show leaving this year – King of the Hill also recently departed from Cartoon Network. While there hasn’t been an official explanation for these changes, it’s possible Cartoon Network is looking for more affordable programming options, like Dragon Ball Z Kai and Home Movies.
The Ultimate Wolverine series has become incredibly brutal for its characters. After regaining his free will, Logan joins the fight against overwhelming forces who control everything. Issue #12 is a major turning point, leading directly into the Ultimate Endgame storyline. It also features a shocking and somewhat disrespectful death – Logan faces off against a mutant who had been manipulated by the Eurasian Republic. While deaths of popular characters aren’t unusual in this series, this one is particularly strange because the character killed, Cyclops, was a major focus for Marvel at the time.
The ninth episode of One-Punch Man season 3 showed a clear improvement in animation and art, though it wasn’t perfect. More surprisingly, the episode’s story took a direction that even long-time fans didn’t see coming, and it raises some really interesting possibilities for the future.
