Now that the X-Men movies are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe thanks to the multiverse, we can really look at how Wolverine has been portrayed on film. The movies haven’t fully captured the range of his powers from the comics. While he’s consistently shown with his healing factor, adamantium skeleton, and claws, his other mutant abilities are often left out, reducing him to a powerful but somewhat simplified character.
Older comic books sometimes featured surprisingly questionable content, like depictions of drug use – as seen on the cover of Green Lantern #85 – or deeply offensive characters, such as the racist villain Egg Fu in Wonder Woman #158. Even recent DC comics haven’t always hit the mark, with examples like the fart-themed (and scented!) April Fool’s Day issue, Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly #1. Despite being a fantastic publisher, DC Comics has a history of awkward cover art, and we’re taking a look at 5 examples.
Although Uncle Grandpa wasn’t as widely popular as shows like Regular Show and Adventure Time, it still ran for five seasons on television. The show even got to team up with Steven Universe in a funny crossover episode called “Say Uncle.” Now, with news that Warner Bros. and Paramount could merge, Uncle Grandpa‘s creator, Pete Browngardt, shared a striking image of his character reacting to the news. It’s clear from his post that both Pete and Uncle Grandpa aren’t happy about the possible merger.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, screenwriter Max Landis will be writing a new G.I. Joe movie, marking a potential comeback for the once-promising talent. Landis gained attention early in his career after writing the 2012 hit Chronicle, but his career stalled in 2019 when The Daily Beast published a detailed report containing sexual assault allegations from eight women. Since then, he’s primarily been creating content for his YouTube channel.
Even the lead characters in Absolute Martian Manhunter have been struggling with a powerful, negative psychic force – the White Martian. Things were complicated when John and the Martian paused their efforts so Jones could work on his marriage. Now, the Martian has been captured, leaving John exposed and in danger. At the end of the last issue, John met his new partner, an invisible being calling itself Despair-the-Zero. However, Despair-the-Zero is very different from the Martian, and its actions towards John mark it as one of the most malicious entities in the Absolute Universe.
Until Then was initially released on PlayStation 5 and PC (through Steam) on June 25, 2024, and later became available on Nintendo Switch on June 26, 2025.
While the game had a strong start, player numbers dropped to around 64,952 on the second day. We might see an increase over the weekend, but some players are criticizing the game’s design, including the user interface and art style. One issue, highlighted on Reddit, is that it’s hard to tell the difference between slightly better shields in your inventory, though filtering by item value can make it easier.
Automaton recently interviewed the director of the upcoming Square Enix game. During the conversation, the director shared encouraging news about the game’s progress and addressed a common concern: the game will be built using Unreal Engine 4, the same engine as previous versions, rather than the newer Unreal Engine 5, which some fans were hoping for.
For over twenty years, the MMORPG genre has felt stagnant, failing to keep pace with rapid technological advancements. Despite huge improvements in computers, internet connections, and global networking, new MMORPGs often feel empty and unappealing. Many ambitious games fail under their own weight, or are released so conservatively they don’t gain traction.
