Many of these ideas weren’t fully explored, particularly the more recent ones. However, some were quite interesting, and the concept of a lightsaber choosing its wielder was arguably the strongest – we first saw this with Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber and Rey in The Force Awakens. Because lightsabers contain kyber crystals that are deeply connected to the Force, they almost seem to have a life of their own. This allowed the saber to sense Rey and guide her toward her future. Now, the new Maul – Shadow Lord series cleverly expands on this idea even further.

As a huge fan of the Absolute Universe, I’m always blown away by the artwork. With six main titles, there are close to a hundred standard covers already, and that’s not even counting all the special variants! These covers really help draw you into each story. I personally always know I’m in for something visually stunning with an Absolute Martian Manhunter book – Javier Rodríguez is a genius! And I still get chills looking at Giuseppe Camuncoli’s cover for Absolute Evil #1. I’ve put together a list of 7 of my favorite standard Absolute Universe covers – check them out!

The next update should be a big one! It’s adding difficulty levels, making your inventory easier to manage with category tabs, and improving how distant objects look. Because of these improvements, this update is much larger than usual, so be aware of that when you download it.

The game is projected to have already earned around $30 million, factoring in different versions and prices across the globe. Initial sales on Steam alone are expected to reach two million copies within the first day, suggesting a very strong overall performance.

Following some recent cancellations, Shonen Jump has added several new series, and one of them comes from Gintama creator Hideaki Sorachi. His new series, Class 2-B Hero Destroyerz, has a completely different premise – a clone of a demon lord must defeat a high school student who is also a hero. However, despite the new setting, fans of Gintama will immediately recognize Sorachi’s style in the first chapter.

The enemies of the Fantastic Four come from all sorts of places – from outer space and other dimensions – and are usually very technologically advanced. Some even involve magic, which Reed Richards, the team’s leader, has to figure out how to counter. Now that the Fantastic Four are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s a great opportunity to bring many of their classic villains to the big screen.

It’s particularly satisfying to see the game’s lasting impact, considering it was once seen as a niche favorite – and that’s after a difficult development process just to get it released. Initially, Psychonauts was intended to be an Xbox exclusive, potentially making the character Raz a major console icon. Twenty-one years later, this is the story of how Raz nearly became Microsoft’s equivalent of Mario and how the game overcame a troubled development to become a cherished cult hit.

The first season of Dexter: Resurrection ended with a lot of exciting possibilities, and fans are eager to see what happens next. Several familiar characters haven’t appeared in a while, and many viewers are hoping to see them return. Based on what happened in season one and what fans want, here are some characters who could – and should – reappear in the next season.

Teen Wolf was a hugely popular and influential supernatural drama for young adults during the 2010s. Based on the 1985 film, the show aired on MTV for six seasons and 100 episodes, from 2011 to 2017. It helped launch MTV into making scripted shows and quickly gained a dedicated fanbase. The series followed high school student Scott McCall, who becomes a werewolf and has to balance normal teenage life with protecting his town, Beacon Hills, from supernatural dangers, all with the help of his friends. Both the original series and the 2023 follow-up movie, Teen Wolf: The Movie, are now available to stream on Prime Video.

Twenty-one years ago this week, while Disney owned the Power Rangers franchise, a memorable three-part episode called “White Thunder” aired as part of Power Rangers Dino Thunder. This episode introduced Trent Fernandez-Mercer, who fans know as the White Dino Ranger. He initially appeared as a strong and formidable enemy, but his story didn’t end there. Trent eventually switched sides and became an ally, joining the other Rangers in their fight against Mesogog.
