The Green Lantern Corps and the rest of the Emotional Spectrum have some of the deepest, most imaginative lore in all of DC. They started as a group of space cops chosen by rings that can create anything they can imagine, overseen by the nigh-omnipotent Guardians. Over time, their connections and place in the universe […]
Movie tie-in games should be an excellent way for fans to double dip, but history has shown that these games are some of the least exciting and interesting games. For decades, publishers rush licensed games just to launch alongside films, hoping to capitalize on the popularity of these projects. There are exceptions of course, and […]
Uncanny X-Men has been one of the coolest X-Men comics in years (that’s right, it’s even better than a lot of X-Men (Vol. 5), the Hickman series, and all of X-Men (Vol. 6)). Writer Gail Simone has been juggling new mutants the Outliers, the mutant prison Gryamalkin, the magical origins of their new base Haven, […]

Even beyond the mainline platforming games, Mario titles expand to include starring roles in fighting games like Super Smash Bros., multiplayer experiences like Mario Party, and foundational arcade-style racing games like Mario […]
It’s been five years since Spider-Man: No Way Home completely changed everything for Peter Parker with the hero being erased from everyone’s memory in order to save the multiverse but the wait to find out exactly what that looked like — and what was next for the hero — is finally over.
