Fans of The Lord of the Rings are getting a new game called The Lord of the Rings: Ascension. It combines the beloved world of Middle-earth with the deckbuilding gameplay of Ascension. Players can team up—or play solo—as they journey through three sets of cards inspired by the The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. The game will be available on Gamefound later this year, and you can find a preview below.
Thanos is famous for using the Infinity Stones to eliminate half of all life in the universe. But even without them, he was an exceptionally strong and skilled fighter. He defeated Hulk in hand-to-hand combat and destroyed the Nova Corps’ planet with his army. While already a formidable opponent for any hero, it feels like Thanos could have had even more abilities.
After The Big Bang Theory concluded in 2019, discussions about continuing the show began right away. It wasn’t because people had stopped watching – in fact, The Big Bang Theory was still very popular with viewers and CBS wanted more episodes.

Fans of Star Trek have a lot to look forward to this year! There are several exciting releases planned, including a continuation of the Red Shirts comic, a new Star Trek: Picard novel called To Defy Fate, and various reference books. Plus, the next season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds arrives July 23rd, and we’ve finally seen a trailer! Perhaps the most ambitious project is Star Trek Timelines, a book coming out in November from DK to commemorate the franchise’s 60th anniversary. This book aims to create a definitive timeline of events, even including alternate realities like the Mirror Universe and the Kelvin timeline, and the challenges faced in Star Trek: Voyager. Hopefully, it will also provide clarity on the often-confusing events of Khan’s Eugenics Wars, something many fans have been waiting for.

As a historian and longtime gamer, I often write about classic content, preserving video games, and their history on ComicBook. It really bothers me when people claim Pong was the first video game, so I wanted to share the story of the actual first game – Tennis for Two. It’s a simple game, but its creation in 1958 marked the beginning of the entire video game industry. Think about a world without video games – no games on your phone, no consoles, nothing at all!
