Over the past year and a half with Absolute Batman, we’ve met many of Batman’s villains, and they’re almost never what they seem. Just think about how shocking the Joker’s true nature was – it took a whole year to uncover! I suspected Absolute Poison Ivy was hiding something, and I was right. The comic doesn’t fully capture how different and terrifying her new powers and true form are.
Superman and Batman are DC’s iconic duo, and their adventures span countless universes. This comic takes us to Earth-3, a world where heroes are the villains. While Earth-3 is usually ruled by the Crime Syndicate, this story focuses on a time before the team existed, highlighting just Ultraman and Owlman. It’s a surprisingly fresh concept that’s a bit of a mystery why it hasn’t been explored sooner. Seeing Ultraman and Owlman – along with Superwoman – before they’ve built their team and established their power is a fantastic idea, and the writer, Waid, executes it brilliantly.

From the start of Game of Thrones, the story of Aerys II Targaryen, also known as “The Mad King” and the last Targaryen ruler, was a significant part of the show’s history.

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 could be ideal for a detailed Mario strategy game, largely because of its mouse support. While strategy games are traditionally played on computers with a mouse, the Switch’s Joy-Cons offer this functionality to console gamers for the first time. A strategy game starring Mario is something Nintendo hasn’t tried before, and a real-time strategy game set in the Mushroom Kingdom or a city-building game where Princess Peach leads the charge would be a bold new direction for the company and give fans a fresh way to play.

Even successful TV channels like HBO aren’t immune to the challenges of long-running shows. Over time, a show’s original idea can wear thin, especially when its plot becomes overly complicated or the initial creative spark fades due to pressure from the network. When a highly-regarded drama starts to decline, it’s especially disappointing for viewers, as it feels like a letdown after they’ve invested so much time and emotion into it during its best seasons.

This is leading up to the game’s early access release in Spring, and the developers emphasize that player feedback will be crucial in making the game a compelling Wild West story.
