But this week’s Batman: Prelude to the Wedding: Nightwing vs. Hush #1 contains the most outrageous editorial decision the Batman office has made since Batman died while trying to shoot a gun at a god. Picking a best man is an important choice, even in normal circumstances, and people are often worried about the feelings of whoever they didn’t pick. But even in a social environment where the Joker is likely to show up and try to murder everyone you know, I don’t think there is a bigger mistake po

This week’s Immortal Hulk #1, by Al Ewing and Joe Bennett, takes that heritage in its muscle-bound green arms and embraces it tightly, taking Hulk back to his horrifying roots. The monster insideStan Lee, who co-created the Hulk with Jack Kirby, explained the inspiration behind the character in his 1974 book Origins of Marvel Comics. “That’s what we’re getting back to, in terms of the tone of the book,” he says of Immortal Hulk. Maybe he can’t die.”And, true to form, Bruce Banner dies on page si

Or that’s how it once played out, until Buckley changed the ending on the comic’s 10th anniversary. Published June 2, 2008, the comic, appropriately titled “Loss,” was immediately mocked by both fans and critics of the series. So they did what the internet does: turned “Loss” — again, a comic strip about miscarriage — into a running joke. “Loss” was no longer one of Tim Buckley’s comics, but instead, the disposable, remixable property of the internet. Buckley’s winking acknowledgement of “Loss”

Who will take the stage in the new Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch? We’ll find out at E3 2018, but we aren’t going in totally ignorant. We have some pretty solid theories about who we’ll be able to play as in Nintendo’s eternal fighting game franchise. Super Smash Bros. For Switch is slated for a 2018 release. You watch watch Nintendo’s announcements during its E3 Nintendo Direct on Tuesday, June 12, at 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m.

Guitar Hero Live’s streaming music service, Guitar Hero TV, will close down in December, effectively cutting the game’s accessible library to just 42 songs. For Guitar Hero Live, once Guitar Hero TV closes players will have just the 42 songs that were available on the disc when it launched. Guitar Hero Live launched Oct. 20, 2015, on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Our review scored the game a 9 and praised Guitar Hero TV, saying “there’s so much room for discovery ju

Adult visual novels have a long history of being censored — if not directly removed from the platform — raising questions over censorship after developers were reportedly told to remove certain content. If you’re a developer, we shouldn’t be choosing what content you’re allowed to create. The company is also distancing itself from associating itself with or tacitly endorsing certain games. That means some content on Steam will be offensive to some users, Johnson said:[T]he Steam Store is going t

So, in hopes of making close-quarters combat a little better for everyone, Epic is taking a look at shotgun damage numbers, and made some changes earlier today. In addition, both the pump shotgun and the tactical shotgun are having their damage multiplier dropped from 2.5 to 2.0. This is a pretty massive change for Fortnite as a whole, and means that short-range combat is going to look a little different. After this change, the heavy shotgun, the rarest of that type of weapon, will also do the m

Sony released a new trailer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the studio’s animated movie about Miles Morales, and it just reaffirms it may be one of the most visually stunning films this year. This marks the first official trailer for the movie following a brief tease in December. The new trailer sheds a little more detail on the relationship between an aging Peter Parker (voiced by New Girl’s Jake Johnson) and a teenage Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore). Into the Spider-Verse will c

Early Tuesday morning, Epic Games released the first part of the content update for Fortnite Battle Royale patch version 4.3, which added the Bouncer trap. ET that same day, when the shop changes, Epic released a wave of balance changes that are also part of this week’s content update. The first, and perhaps largest, change for most players is a nerf that Epic made to Supply Llamas. Epic also added a few more nerfs to buildings in this update. The balance changes from the Fortnite Battle Royale

Sony announced part of its plan last month. I don’t know what the gaming version of being released suddenly on Netflix is, but wouldn’t it be great if Death Stranding did it? I kinda miss the days when Sony would randomly release bizarrely small, PlayStation-branded 3D TVs, but I bet Sony doesn’t. And we know that Sony and Square Enix like each other very much, so if there’s any news on the long-awaited Final Fantasy 7 Remake, expect it at PlayStation. Sony is signaling that this will be a stron

Axis & Allies, the classic strategy board game created by Larry Harris and first published in 1981, is getting a new, over-the-top adaptation. “This has to be an Axis & Allies game. In Axis & Allies and Zombies, every time an infantry unit dies it will turn into a unit of zombies. Take, for instance, the classic early game choice that the German player must make in a traditional game of Axis & Allies. As a bonus, Axis & Allies and Zombies will also include rules and components to fully modify Ax

Next week, Star Wars Battlefront 2 publisher Electronic Arts will introduce a new map, mode, vehicle and more, based on the movie Solo: A Star Wars Story, with some content available for all players, and others locked behind pay / earn walls. The current season of Battlefront 2 is dedicated to Han Solo, with new locations, adventures and skins rolled out last month, based on the original Star Wars trilogy. This new package is based on Solo: A Star Wars Story, an origin story about the ace smuggl

A job opening posted by Blizzard on its official website seeks a developer for an “unannounced Diablo project,” kicking up anticipation among that game’s faithful that something new is on the way. We’ve emailed Blizzard to ask for more information but it’s unlikely they would up and confirm a new game based off a job listing alone. In 2016 they were looking for a new game director for the franchise to “lead the Diablo series into the future.” And in 2015, Blizzard listed an opening for an art di

The Walking Dead: The Final Season, the fourth and final chapter in Telltale’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s comic book franchise, will launch Aug. 14 on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One. Telltale’s summary of The Final Season is:Clementine, now a fierce and capable survivor, has reached the final chapter in her journey. In this gripping, emotional final season, you will define your relationships, fight the undead, and determine how Clementine’s story ends. The Walking Dead: The Final Sea

Rez creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi and Enhance Games, the studio behind Rez Infinite and Lumines Remastered, are working on a new Tetris game. It’s called Tetris Effect and appears to embody the mixture of music, sight and sound that Mizuguchi and his team are famous for. Tetris Effect is coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR this fall. Rez Infinite makers Monstars and Resonair are developing the title, and Enhance is publishing it. The developer released an updated remaster of its groundbreakin

We already have some pretty convincing evidence that Fortnite will be announced for the Nintendo Switch at E3 next week, but a developer and console hacker on Twitter seems to have found proof. It looks like there’s already code in the Nintendo eShop that points to an update for … Fortnite. pic.twitter.com/Nwzi2v6fWN — Michael (@SciresM) June 5, 2018They were also able to find an image file that looks suspiciously like a Switch icon for Fortnite. But Fortnite and the Nintendo Switch otherwise

Undead Parish is full of tough enemies. You’ll face a Fang Boar, a Black Knight, several Baldur Knights, a Channeler, and a Berenike Knight along with a bunch of various Hollows. There are several useful items in the area (souls and weapons, mostly), but the most important to pick up is the Firekeeper’s Soul which you can give to the Ash Maiden in Firelink Shrine to expand your Estus Flask. There’s also an extremely useful shortcut that leads back down to Firelink Shrine. Most importantly, thoug

Both series are available in their entirety (51 episodes in Fullmetal Alchemist, 64 in Brotherhood) in both English and Japanese with English subtitles. — PHYour Lie in April (2015)Widely acknowledged as one of the best music anime series in existence, Your Lie in April is, at its most basic level, about music. Luckily, the 26-episode series is available in its entirety in both English and Japanese with English subtitles. The full 25-episode series and both short films are currently available on

Jared Leto’s Joker didn’t get as much screen time in 2016’s Suicide Squad as some fans may have wanted, but Warner Bros. and DC are looking to rectify that mistake. Leto wasn’t quiet about his disappointment over Warner Bros. and director David Ayer’s treatment of Joker in Suicide Squad. Deadline reported in 2017 that Warner Bros. was developing a stand-alone Joker story that would explore the villain’s origin story. Leto won’t star in that movie — a decision that allegedly pissed off the 30 Sec

Faction Rallies is back in Destiny 2 after an extended hiatus, and this time it’s offering some rewards that players actually want. Wear your faction armorIf you’ve participated in any Faction Rallies before, you probably have close to a full set of armor for your chosen faction. You’ll either need to farm more to replace the lost Renown or get fewer tokens out of the next Lost Sector chest you open. Take each Lost Sector seriously and move slowly through them, careful to clear out enemies befor
