Final Fantasy Tactics originally launched in the US for the PlayStation back in 1998. It’s since become a highly-regarded strategy RPG and remains one of my personal favorite game stories. The events of The Lion War introduced some truly memorable characters from Square Enix, and I’m really excited to experience the game again with the new remake, Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles.
Weapons add a lot of excitement to stories about superheroes. They create unexpected problems for heroes, sometimes leading to entire seasons focused on stopping villains and taking away their weapons. These weapons also give heroes a crucial edge when fighting enemies with incredible powers. While the Arrowverse is full of amazing weapons, a few are particularly powerful-one of them is practically a super-tool, capable of doing almost anything.
For years, the 804-piece Black Pearl LEGO set from 2011 was the only one available, and finding a new, unopened copy now costs nearly $1000. However, this fall brought a change with the release of a much larger ship from LEGO, delighting fans of the Pirates theme. This new LEGO Black Pearl (also known as Captain Jack Sparrow’s Ship) is the ship fans have always wanted, despite a few small imperfections.

Whether it’s Spider-Man from Earth-616, his alternate selves, or different iterations within his own universe, here’s a look at 10 Spider-Men who either truly embody Uncle Ben’s teachings, or fall short.
Over the 28 years since the manga first came out, Luffy has rescued so many people – his friends, his allies, and even his enemies. Considering everything he’s done, no power is more fitting for him than Gear 5, which is the fully awakened form of his Gum-Gum Fruit, specifically the mythical Zoan known as Nika, a creature erased from historical records. Gear 5 isn’t just a basic power boost; it’s unlike almost any other transformation in Shonen manga, truly proving that Luffy is special and one of a kind.
That comic is Free Planet, created by writer Aubrey Sitterson and artist Jed Dougherty. Published by Image Comics, Free Planet began earlier this year and quickly became popular for its story about a world *after* the revolution. It explores what happens when complete freedom is won – how do those who fought for it now maintain that freedom and define what true liberation means, not just for their country of Lutheria, but for the wider world?
Steve Rogers is in a slightly more advantageous position than his eventual teammates because he gets to stop the Red Skull from bombing major cities in Captain America: The First Avenger. But even though things escalate to the point where Cap is prepared to sacrifice himself, his showdown with the Red Skull isn’t the fiercest fight of Phase One. That title actually belongs to another MCU battle that recently got a sequel after almost twenty years.
So far in the DCU, Kara Zor-El has only shown up briefly at the end of Superman and with a very quick cameo in Peacemaker Season 2, so it’s too early to rank her among the best Supergirls. However, actress Milly Alcock is starting off strong in the role of the Kryptonian. The DCU’s version of Kara is largely inspired by the character in the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comics, where she begins as a rebellious and mischievous young woman. Alcock perfectly captured this personality in her single scene in Superman, getting a laugh from audiences when she playfully called her cousin a “bitch” and enjoyed Krypto’s playful behavior. It’s still too early to say if Alcock will become a great Supergirl, but we’re excited about her solo movie next year and her potential future within the DCU.
The first season of Fox’s popular medical drama Doc, consisting of 10 episodes, became available on Netflix on September 23rd, shortly before Season 2 began airing on Fox the same day. The show, created by Barbie Kligman and inspired by the Italian series Doc – Nelle tue mani, features Molly Parker as Dr. Amy Larsen, an internal medicine physician who loses the last eight years of her memory due to a brain injury. She has to rediscover who she is and rebuild her professional life, having no memory of her patients, coworkers, or loved ones. Doc Season 1 arrived on Netflix’s streaming service less than a year after its initial release on Fox.
