Ben Affleck’s 2016 movie, The Accountant, will be available to stream on Hulu starting February 27th. The film stars a large ensemble cast, including Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, and Jon Bernthal, and while critics had mixed reactions, it was a box office success. Fans especially enjoyed its action scenes. A sequel, The Accountant 2, is scheduled for release in 2025, but watching both films won’t be simple.

Lately, Deadpool comics haven’t been resonating with readers as much as they used to. The character has become somewhat predictable, with many writers prioritizing jokes and over-the-top antics over exploring Wade Wilson’s deeper personality and struggles. Recent series haven’t lasted long, but Marvel seems determined to change that. They’ve put writer Benjamin Percy and artist Geoff Shaw on a new comic, Wade Wilson: Deadpool, which is already generating a lot of excitement for 2026. The first issue is out, and it appears Percy and Shaw might be able to revitalize the character and bring him back to his former popularity.

The recent chapters have shown how incredibly powerful and dangerous Mamushi is. He can create countless clones and has a huge amount of chakra, pushing Konoha’s defenders to their breaking point. They desperately need a plan to defeat him, and it revolves around a carefully laid trap. Mamushi came to the village looking for Eida, intending to absorb her power, and Shikamaru has come up with a plan to use her as bait. The idea is to lure Mamushi into a fight, and when he tries to capture Eida, her incredibly strong brother, Daemon, will step in to protect her.

I’m a huge Star Trek fan, and while the franchise itself has gotten so big with all the shows, it feels like those of us who really love a good movie experience sometimes get left out. Luckily, I’ve found a bunch of films that capture that same Star Trek spirit, even if they aren’t officially part of the series. They don’t tell the same stories, but they hit all the right notes and give me that familiar feeling I love from classic Star Trek. I think any fan who’s been missing that vibe will really enjoy these!

So far this year, eight games have been added to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on their release day. Half of these games have received scores on Metacritic, while the other half haven’t. Generally, games without Metacritic scores aren’t major releases, and the fact that half the Game Pass lineup falls into this category isn’t ideal. Of the games that do have scores, the average is 74.5. Scores range from 68 to 83, with 72 and 75 being decent, but not particularly exciting. The 68 score is a bit on the low side. This means only one game, MIO: Memories in Orbit, has received a strong review – it’s currently the 11th highest-rated release of the year.

Although these series remain incredibly popular and well-known, the final parts of their stories proved controversial. Many fans were left unsatisfied with loose ends and endings that didn’t quite live up to expectations. Despite being among the most beloved Shonen manga ever created, these seven series faced criticism when they concluded.

Van-Zee has been missing for a while, but DC Comics recently reintroduced a Kryptonian Nightwing during the DC All In event, with a unique spin. A young man named Bryce Morgan was changed by powerful magical forces and became a Kryptonian adult based on stories of the original Dick Grayson. Taking the name Nightwing-Prime, Bryce tried to save the world as the dangerous being called the Zanni launched a devastating attack on Blüdhaven. Fortunately, Nightwing-Prime has defeated the Zanni with a heroic sacrifice.
