Starting March 3rd, Aspyr will release a remastered version of Legacy of Kain: Defiance for modern gaming systems. This is exciting news for fans, as it will make the complete Legacy of Kain series playable on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 for the first time. Previously, the first two games, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Blood Omen 2, were available as “Classics,” and Aspyr released remasters of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 earlier this year. With Defiance now remastered, both new players and longtime fans can experience the entire story on current-generation PlayStation consoles.

Over time, these heroes have developed various weaknesses – some are physical, others are more abstract, but all contribute to who they are. Comic books today explore these weaknesses in creative ways. Here are seven incredibly powerful DC heroes and the vulnerabilities that have been exploited against them.

Honestly, it’s tough to rush through any of these tracks, and that’s a good thing! Whether it’s based on Japan’s beautiful coastlines, mountains, or even snowy areas (they showed off some earlier!), the detail is incredible no matter where you’re racing. I find myself constantly wanting to slow down and just look at everything – the wind in the plants, the rivers flowing – even though I know my opponents are speeding ahead. It’s just that beautiful!

The game’s soundtrack is remarkably well-crafted, staying with you long after you finish playing. It perfectly complements the game’s story and imagery, creating a unique and memorable atmosphere. The music especially highlights the complex bond between Kratos and his brother, Deimos, and their shared journey to become worthy Spartans.

The manga is nearing its conclusion, as it was planned to be a relatively short series lasting about six months. While we’ve only seen a little of Yuji’s abilities so far, it’s obvious he’s become incredibly strong. This raises the question: has he surpassed Satoru Gojo, who was considered the most powerful sorcerer of his time?

Tubi is currently streaming both Open Season and Open Season 2, but they won’t be available for long! Added on February 1st, both films are already scheduled to leave Tubi before the end of the month. These Sony Pictures Animation movies follow Boog, a grizzly bear (voiced by Martin Lawrence in the first film and Mike Epps in the second), and Elliot, a mule deer with one antler (voiced by Ashton Kutcher and later Joel McHale). The original movie from 2006 tells the story of their adventure to get home before hunting season begins, while the 2008 sequel sees them teaming up again to rescue their dachshund friend after he’s kidnapped by some pampered pets.

In the 1980s, DC Comics broadened its range of stories, attracting top creators in the industry. The success of Swamp Thing paved the way for Vertigo, a comics line known for its sophisticated, genre-bending stories. DC continued this approach in the 90s with various publishing imprints, including the lesser-known Helix line, which launched Transmetropolitan. While imprints waned in popularity during the 2000s, even the highly regarded Vertigo line eventually ended. DC revisited the idea in 2016, partnering with a major 21st-century musician – Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance – to create a new imprint called Young Animal.

I’m so excited! Marvel just announced that a new Spectacular Spider-Man series, called Brand New Day, is coming out in May! What’s even cooler is that Dan Slott, who wrote Spider-Man for years, is back, and he’s teaming up with artist Marcus To – I loved his work on X-Force! Apparently, he’s revisiting the story where he first really made a name for himself with Spider-Man, and this new series will connect to everything that’s happening with Spider-Man comics now. It’s going to be amazing!

Even though some movie sequels don’t quite live up to the originals, they’re still worth watching. Good examples include The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

The “Heroes Reborn” reboot is widely considered a failure, leading to the termination of contracts with creators Lee and Liefeld (Liefeld’s after only six months). The story shifted heroes to an alternate universe and ultimately needed to bring them back, resulting in the follow-up series, Heroes Reborn: The Return, written by Peter David and illustrated by Salvador Larocca. This continuation faced a significant challenge due to the intense dislike for the original “Heroes Reborn.” However, surprisingly, Heroes Reborn: The Return is a fantastic story, making the difficult experience of reading “Heroes Reborn” worthwhile. It’s a hidden masterpiece and a prime example of a well-executed comic event.
