The new Peacock docuseries, *Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy*, is currently maintaining a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The show focuses on John Wayne Gacy, a contractor from the Chicago area who lived a double life as a serial killer, as detectives work to uncover the truth. Viewers are praising it for respectfully handling the difficult subject matter, focusing on the victims and their families instead of sensationalizing the killer himself – a common pitfall in similar true crime stories.

The series has been hinting at a character’s abilities for months, and the full story is gradually being revealed. We’re also starting to learn about Anya’s difficult past, including the possibility that her mother passed away before she went to live in an orphanage. The manga is released every two weeks, and fans are eager to follow the ongoing story. After a brief, unexpected break, the creator, Tatsuya Endo, returned to social media to update fans on the release schedule and apologize for the delay.

Originally released in Japan in May 2003, *Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow* didn’t sell well. Luckily, it was already planned for release in North America, where it became much more popular than Konami expected. While first appearing on the Game Boy Advance, the game was re-released in 2021 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch as part of the *Castlevania Advance Collection*. What made this Game Boy Advance game so successful?

These shows sometimes followed big successes, sometimes featured a popular actor, and occasionally relied on a unique twist. Some had a mix of these things. But no matter what, they didn’t live up to expectations – and you likely felt the same way.

Even in the DC Universe, Thanos would still be a major threat. While the heroes would oppose him, many of DC’s villains wouldn’t welcome his arrival and would fight him as well. Though a few DC villains could actually beat Thanos, these seven wouldn’t be able to withstand his incredible power.

It’s been a tough decade for fans of the *Tomb Raider* series. The last major game, *Shadow of the Tomb Raider*, came out in 2018, and while a new installment is in the works, reports suggest development is facing challenges. This means fans may have to wait a while longer for the next game. Luckily, there are plenty of older *Tomb Raider* titles to enjoy. Speaking of which, the planned October 18th release of *Tomb Raider Anniversary* on PlayStation 4 and 5 has been pushed back to November 18th.

A major criticism of *Pokemon Scarlet & Violet* was its open world feeling too empty. *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* seems to address this problem, though it takes a different approach. Instead of a truly open world, it features distinct zones within a single city. However, players might not be thrilled to find that the city streets are cluttered with items scattered everywhere – a problem that many experienced in *Scarlet & Violet*.

Just because the New 52 had problems doesn’t mean we should ignore everything good about it. There were actually a lot of fantastic comics released during that era, and they often get overlooked when people criticize the New 52 as a whole. Here are ten stories from the New 52 that are truly excellent and worth checking out for any DC Comics fan.

Viz Media had a busy week announcing new manga releases, including titles like *Half Is More*, *I’m No Angel*, *Champion of The Rose*, and *Taika’s Reason*. Among these, *Centuria* stands out as a particularly dark and intense series. While fans will have to wait until next year, Viz revealed that the first volume of *Centuria* will be released in North America on February 17th, 2026. If you enjoy darker stories, especially those similar to *Berserk*, this series could be a great fit.

The original script for *The Empire Strikes Back* described Yoda as a small, bluish creature dressed in rags when Luke and R2-D2 first landed on Dagobah. However, the final version of the film presented Yoda differently, which is probably a good thing – a blue Yoda just doesn’t feel right!
