I’ve been taking Saga for granted. Some of you have been taking Saga for granted. Let’s not do that. This comic book is a miracle. One that will make you cry. There’s a new issue of Saga out this week and it’s simply harrowing. Don’t get me wrong: the latest chapter is still funny, heartbreaking…

The newest Dark Knight protecting Gotham City isn’t Bruce Wayne. That’s fine by me. The brooding, psychologically tortured atmosphere that came with the billionaire’s personal style of crimefighting is receding into the background. But I see a lot of promise in the next era of Batman comics, precisely because Jim Gordon—AKA the new Batman—isn’t a…
Giant, floating mountains that have eyes. Intelligent apes who live underwater. A demolition derby where every Ghost Rider races and kills each other over and over again. Please, Marvel Comics, put some of this tomfoolery in your big fall relaunch next to the new Wolverine. You wouldn’t know it from looking at the majority of…
If you thought the way that an alternate-reality version of Batman dealt with Harley Quinn was surprising, then wait and see what Superman does to Brainiac. Spoilers. You know things are bad in a universe where Amanda Waller is the president of the United States. So bad, in fact, that the woman who’s bossed around…
Volume—the cool-looking stealth game from the creator of Thomas Was Alone that combines the Robin Hood legend with inspiration from Metal Gear’s VR Missions—will be out on August 18th on PlayStation platforms and Steam. Contact the author at [email protected]
Remember Stonehearth, the city-building game being made by the twin brothers who basically elevated fighting game competition to being a Really Big Thing? It’s out on Early Access on Steam now.
Always thought Harley Quinn was disturbing because of her twisted love affair with the Joker? Here’s a version of the supervillain that’s even more unhinged. And the Batman who takes her down in this alternate universe does something… harsh. Superman isn’t Clark Kent in this version of the Justice League. Wonder Woman isn’t from a…

The only thing missing is Soulwax FM. People have been making filmed real-world tributes to the Grand Theft Auto games for years now. But this one from the folks at Corridor Digital is eerily spot-on in how it mimics the camera movement and angles from Rockstar’s hit open-world game. The fact that it uses the…
Juggernaut, Dr. Doom and Spider-Man all show up in this deeper glimpse at the Marvel Comics fighting game that was cancelled by EA years ago. Again, it’s a glimpse of a rough prototype but shows some of the features that the dev studio was aiming for. Contact the author at [email protected]
Ever since yesterday, Marvel’s been talking about how the next version of their superhero universe will look a whole lot different. And a new teaser image gives a glimpse of even more changes, including a female Wolverine. Time to put on our thinking caps, true believers. Is That Tony Stark in the Iron Man Armor?…
Yesterday’s Star Wars comic dropped a big bombshell, introducing a character that changes everything we know about the galaxy’s most notorious smuggler. But, along with the newest issue of Darth Vader, it showed the exact moment when the Dark Lord of the Sith learned who Obi-Wan Kenobi’s last padawan was. Yeah, the one he’s related…

After Secret Wars is done, the Marvel Universe is going to look very different. Someone else is going to be the Strongest One There Is. Another wall-crawler will be using the name Spider-Man. Oh, and Wolverine—a Wolverine, anyway—is coming back, too. In reports hitting today via Mashable and USA Today, Marvel Comics has announced that…
A question debated by geeks for decades gets answered in this week’s issue of Secret Wars. Spoilers ahead. (One more time: spoilers follow! Hover over the top left of each image and click on the magnifying glass icon to expand it.) At the heart of the Secret Wars miniseries lies an unexpected conundrum: just who…
A Man of Steel who can’t fly. No heat vision. Cape torn to shreds. Yup, Action Comics #41 is the best Superman comic to come out in years. This week marks the start of what publisher DC Comics is calling the New DC Universe, an initiative where they’ll be debuting big status quo shifts, new…
Eight years ago, in a Marvel Universe far, far away, Spider-Man was married. Then Marvel editorial had him make a deal with the devil—a villain called Mephisto—and he wasn’t a husband anymore, like it had never happened. It was stupid. People hated it. This week, Marvel’s teasing fans with the a world where that bonehead…
Love gets a raw deal in modern comic books. Sure, leading characters in superhero, crime and other comics genres have romances and entanglements and whatever else, but those are always subplots in service of another larger story element. In the real world, the quest for sex, commitment and affection is something everyone can relate to.…
There’s no good way to digitally jump into the history of DC Comics—you know, only one of the most storied comics publishers ever—and that’s a damn shame. The House of Superman just ended a big crossover that reintroduced a multiverse to their fiction and trafficked in re-surfacing older versions of characters for the last few…
