At a recent panel at MegaCon, authors Claudia Gray and Timothy Zahn shared that their ideas for bringing the character Mara Jade into official Star Wars continuity were turned down. Gray recounted being surprised by the decision, saying she repeatedly asked if it was possible, only to be firmly told no.

The manga Hero Girl And Demon Lord Call It Quits began in Weekly Shonen Jump last November with a funny and unique idea: a hero and her powerful, world-threatening rival decide to become roommates. The story, created by Hatsubina Matsuri, centers around a demon lord who wants to understand humanity and proposes a deal – if he can live with the hero, Asuka Kagurazaka, he’ll spare the world. While the series featured action-packed battles, it also became a charming slice-of-life comedy that will conclude this week with its 21st chapter. The author signaled the ending was near even in the chapter before the last one.

However, Iron Man was a public figure, while Batman operated in secret, fueled by revenge and a complex sense of justice. Moon Knight is a possibility, but he’s a unique character. Clint Barton’s time as Ronin briefly resembled Batman, but it was short-lived. Now, with the Daredevil: Born Again series, it’s clear: Matt Murdock is the MCU’s version of the Dark Knight.

Sundberg explained that he created Samson: A Tyndalston Story because he was frustrated with what he saw as the industry’s dishonesty and mismanagement. He felt those in charge were wasting resources and that he’d rather take a bold risk with Samson and attempt to correct the course, even if it meant failing spectacularly, than remain silent and accept the status quo.

This is exciting news for fans! The Rhythm Heaven series is beloved by many, but hasn’t had a new release in a long time. Nintendo isn’t just bringing it back as a small addition or a throwback – they’re making a brand new, full-fledged Switch game that captures the same fast-paced, unique rhythm gameplay that made the original games so special.

Sundberg explained he created Samson: A Tyndalston Story out of frustration with what he sees as the industry’s harmful practices. He criticized business leaders, saying they were wasting potential.
