Please be aware that this discussion contains major spoilers for the Fantastic Four/Gargoyles comic book series. Surprisingly, the Fantastic Four and the Gargoyles don’t fight each other – they team up right away, which is amusingly pointed out by Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm. The story also brings back Isaac Christians, also known as the Gargoyle, from a period of being absent in Marvel comics. He immediately warns Goliath and the other Gargoyles that the villain Diablo plans to use their blood to create a potion for eternal life.

Reviewers are really enjoying the game, especially its fast-paced and chaotic combat. It feels like a return to classic action games from the PlayStation 2 and 3 era, offering a more intense experience than many modern titles.

There’s growing speculation about whether Hawkeye will appear in Doomsday. While promoting the new season of Mayor of Kingstown (premiering October 26th), Jeremy Renner spoke with ComicBook and shared his thoughts on Hawkeye’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He addressed whether Clint Barton has fully retired and what it would take to bring him back into action as a hero.

The main complaint about this new series is that it doesn’t feel original. Since the stories from all the Harry Potter books have already been turned into movies, and those movies were generally well-made, it will be hard for the reboot to improve upon them. There are even at least five scenes from the original Harry Potter films that this new series will likely find difficult to surpass.

Xbox recently launched a new, animated theme for Xbox Series X and S consoles. It’s based on artwork from the upcoming game, The Outer Worlds 2, and features the game’s iconic character, “Moon Man.” The background isn’t static – you’ll see ships flying across the screen. And the best part? It’s completely free for all Xbox Series X and S owners.

It’s discouraging to see game companies letting employees go, even when they’re doing well. For instance, Funcom recently had layoffs despite the successful launch of their biggest game yet, Dune: Awakening.

Currently, the film No Other Choice has a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 69 critic reviews. Critics agree that the film, directed by Park Chan-wook, is a sharply witty critique of the competitive world of business, with Lee Byung-Hun delivering a brilliantly understated performance.

The 2024 survival crafting game Return to Moria received mixed reviews when it first launched, but it’s become popular with a dedicated group of players on Steam. While many new games come and go, Return to Moria has steadily gained a following, especially among Lord of the Rings fans. Now, players will be able to experience even more content with a major new expansion. Return to Moria has had smaller downloadable content packs before, but those were mostly focused on cosmetic items. Free Range Games recently announced that the Durin’s Folk DLC, revealed earlier this year, will be released in less than a month!

Given Netflix’s position as the leading TV studio of the last ten years, it should be the platform for Black Mirror. Netflix took over the show after its first two seasons on Channel 4, enhancing it with a larger budget and a more polished American style, while thankfully preserving the clever storytelling of creator Charlie Brooker. The third season, which premiered on October 21, 2016, is widely considered one of the show’s strongest, and features what many believe to be its best episode, “San Junipero.”

The anime My Hero Academia has been gradually incorporating events from its movies into the main storyline. The latest episode officially confirmed that the movie My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is now considered part of the official canon, featuring a noticeable appearance by two important characters from the film. This means watching the My Hero Academia movies is now essential to fully understand the anime’s story as it progresses.
