This Star Wars comic series takes place after the fall of the Empire, with the heroes now working to protect the newly formed New Republic. They face a new danger in Reyna Oskure, a powerful witch who plans to incite war against the Republic by manipulating the people of the planet Nagi and the Fenril Sector. Luke and Han are battling Reyna’s forces on Nagi, while Leia is forced to make a difficult choice: remain on Chandrila, the capital, or go to their aid. Her decision mirrors a similar challenge Luke faced in The Empire Strikes Back.

With the recent success of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and rumors of another film in the works, fans are rediscovering the 28 Days Later franchise. Now, 28 Weeks Later, directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, is available to stream on Hulu, having joined the platform on January 1st. The film picks up six months after the original 28 Days Later, following the US Army’s attempt to restore order in a quarantined London, before a new outbreak of the deadly Rage Virus erupts within the supposedly safe zone.

Those who boast and rely on temporary authority often confuse harshness with leadership, but their facade crumbles when faced with true determination. These shallow villains lack genuine beliefs, and the narrative ultimately reveals their weakness. They serve primarily to highlight the strong principles and selflessness of heroes who fight for what they believe in.

The end of January still brings some major game releases, including the highly anticipated Code Vein 2. Highguard is also generating a lot of interest, especially considering its challenging development process.

The 2012 film Dredd, featuring Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, and Lena Headey, takes place in the massive and dangerous city of Mega City One. Crime is rampant, and the only people enforcing the law are “judges” – individuals who have the power to arrest, convict, and execute criminals. Dredd (Urban) is one of the most feared judges, and he’s paired with Cassandra (Thirlby), a new recruit with strong psychic abilities. When a major crime is reported, they investigate the city’s most dangerous district, controlled by Ma-Ma (Headey), a ruthless drug lord determined to defend her criminal empire.

The first four episodes were originally released as an animated movie in theaters. While some fans weren’t thrilled with the new character Ahsoka Tano, the show quickly gained popularity. Today, after 18 years, The Clone Wars is considered a hugely important part of the Star Wars universe – some even believe it’s as significant as any of the films.

Unlike later FromSoftware games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Elden Ring, Bloodborne was originally released only for PlayStation consoles. PC gamers still can’t officially play it, making it the hardest game in FromSoftware’s collection to get your hands on. This is unfortunate because Bloodborne has a distinctive world and is a fantastic game, but its exclusivity creates additional, less obvious issues.

Let’s recap where we left off with recent Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. While Benedict Cumberbatch hasn’t been officially confirmed for the upcoming Doomsday film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness introduced the idea of incursions, which will probably play a role. It’s possible Multiverse of Madness could connect to Doomsday or even Avengers: Secret Wars, but we can’t be sure until Cumberbatch’s involvement is confirmed. Paul Rudd is returning for Doomsday, but his last movie, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, ended by focusing on Kang, not Doctor Doom, so that storyline doesn’t directly lead into it. As for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it remains to be seen if it will connect to Doomsday, but it would be a great chance to have Tom Holland’s Spider-Man confront the memory of his mentor.

Here’s a look at the first ten villains the Avengers faced in their first two years, ranked by how powerful they were.
