As a long-time reader, I’ve followed Brian Bendis’s work at Marvel for nearly two decades, and it’s impressive. He came along when creators often held back their best ideas for personal projects, but even with that mindset, he gifted Marvel with some truly memorable characters. I’ve put together a list of ten of the very best – leaving out Jessica Jones and Miles Morales, as they’re already so well-known – heroes and villains that fans really connect with.

With Luke Skywalker’s death in The Last Jedi and the slim chance of recasting the character, the Star Wars universe is likely moving away from Luke and the Skywalker family as a whole. While Luke is irreplaceable, the franchise has already begun introducing new characters to take his place. Here are five characters poised to fill that role.

If players contact PlayStation support, they’re often able to get a refund, but it’s not automatic. Some refund requests are being denied for unclear reasons, and the process isn’t as widespread as when Sony offered refunds for Cyberpunk 2077.

He explained he stayed because he felt a responsibility to the company. He’d realized he was needed, but also felt unable to make the changes he believed were necessary to keep things running smoothly, protect the team, and preserve the successful video game development and publishing business they’d built.

At the FACTS Convention in Belgium, Jared Padalecki confirmed a long-standing fan theory: he’ll be playing the character Mister Marathon in season 5 of The Boys. A TikTok clip captured his confirmation, revealing the speedster will finally appear after being mentioned throughout the series. This makes sense given A-Train’s death in the season premiere, which creates an opening for a new supe to be introduced.

After over 27 years, it’s clear the films haven’t explored all the possibilities for lightsaber designs. The double-bladed lightsaber is still one of the most recognizable, and it’s often linked to the dark side – as seen with Dark Rey’s unique weapon in The Rise of Skywalker, which was inspired by Darth Maul’s. But why did Darth Maul wield this specific type of lightsaber? Fans have speculated for years, and the answer now seems confirmed in episodes 3 and 4 of Maul – Shadow Lord.

Although streaming services have become more popular, Cartoon Network was once a major force in television. It began by showing classic cartoons from companies like MGM and Hanna-Barbera, but soon developed its own unique identity. Shows like Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, and Ed, Edd n Eddy helped make the network famous, and over the years, it produced seven truly exceptional programs.

The movie Robopocalypse, adapted from the novel by David H. Wilson, faced numerous development issues and was ultimately cancelled. In an interview with Empire, Steven Spielberg explained why the project never came to fruition, despite his long-time involvement. He stated that making the film would have been so costly that it could have financially ruined the studio. Spielberg, whose company DreamWorks financed his films, didn’t want to take on such a massive expense for his company. He also didn’t want to seek funding from another studio, as he wasn’t confident the movie would be successful with audiences.

Developer Doley Time Foundation is shutting down, and as a result, their two games, Boss 101 and Zazmo Arcade Pack, will no longer be available for purchase. Zazmo Arcade Pack is actually a bundle of five games. Boss 101 currently costs $14.99 and has excellent reviews on the Xbox Store, where it’s available for both Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Zazmo Arcade Pack is also on those same platforms for $9.99, but doesn’t have any user reviews listed.

There are other great games worth checking out too, like the unique shooter Mouse P.I. For Hire and the highly anticipated sequel, Hades 2.
