The first issue of X-Men United, written by Eve Ewing (known for her work on Exceptional and Black Panther) and illustrated by Tiago Palma, aims to unite all the X-Men teams and their students in a new school setting. However, readers unfamiliar with Ewing’s Exceptional may find this issue underwhelming, as it doesn’t quite deliver on the promise of its title and falls short as an X-Men comic.
Voice actor Diskin shared on BlueSky that Capcom asked him to reprise his role in Mega Man: Dual Override, but with a catch: the job wouldn’t be covered by standard union protections offered through SAG-AFTRA. Capcom assured him they had written guarantees preventing his voice from being used for A.I. training, but confirmed the project wouldn’t be a union one.
Okay, so I recently checked out Gravitar, this old Atari game from 1982, and wow, it’s tough! It’s a vector-based shooter, meaning the graphics are pretty simple, and it controls a lot like Asteroids – you rotate and thrust to move around. But calling it ‘difficult’ is an understatement. Seriously, it’s hard. It takes a lot of skill just to get okay at it, which probably explains why it wasn’t a massive hit. Most people I imagine would drop in a quarter, quickly get destroyed, and say, ‘Nah, not worth it.’ Still, Atari released a version for the Atari 2600 a year after the arcade game came out, which is kinda cool.
The show boasted strong credentials, created by Chris Boucher, known for his work on classic sci-fi series like Doctor Who and Blake’s 7. Set in 2027, it followed the International Space Police Force, led by Commander Nathan Spring, and investigated crimes stemming from advancements in technology. Now, Big Finish has revived the series with a new audio sequel, Star Cops: Conflict – Prisoner and Escort. Returning cast members include David Calder as Commander Spring, Linda Newton as Chief Superintendent Kenzy, and Trevor Cooper as Inspector Devis, joined by newcomers Philip Olivier, Hannah Bristow, and Lynsey Murrell.
TrekMovie reports that the next Star Trek series will be called Star Trek: Year One, continuing the story right after the events of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. At the Saturn Awards, Strange New Worlds co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers expressed his enthusiasm for the project, calling it a natural progression of their storyline. However, he also clarified that the decision to move forward with the series isn’t up to him.
Let’s be honest, getting into Tolkien can feel a little daunting. Everyone knows The Lord of the Rings, and the movies definitely made it a global phenomenon. But that’s really just the tip of the iceberg! A huge amount of Tolkien’s world-building was published after his death, thanks to the incredible work of his son, Christopher. These books are seriously detailed, tracing the history of Middle-earth over millennia, and they’ve become the source material for everything from The Hobbit films to the more recent The Rings of Power. While some of those adaptations have been… controversial, and the books themselves are pretty dense, I genuinely believe diving deeper into Tolkien’s wider work is an incredibly rich experience. It’s worth the effort!
