Marvel's latest summer event invokes the title of one of the publisher's previous ones: the original universe-altering Heroes Reborn line. But judging by how Marvel has built its new Heroes Reborn universe around their most famous DC analog characters the Squadron Supreme, and are even expanding the DC-esque nature of their backstories, it's starting to look like they're hoping to capture the energy of 1996's other major comic book event, Marvel Vs. DC. The picture Marvel has painted of the Squadron Supreme's place in the new world of Heroes Reborn 2021 - and the publisher's expansion of the Squadron's DC-pastiche origins - may point to Marvel preparing to pit the Avengers versus the 'Justice League' all over again. What's more, Marvel just announced that Heroes Reborn 2021 will run for seven issues, with a final eighth comic (a still untitled mystery one-shot) , to cap off the story – a perfect platform for such a clash. Though Marvel and DC can't directly acknowledge … [Read more...] about Heroes Reborn 2021 is as close to Marvel vs DC 2021 as we’re going to get

Hard as it might be to believe from a quick glance at the latest TV and movie releases, there are brilliant and beautifully drawn comic book heroes that didn't start life at DC or Marvel. Here are ten superheroes, picked for the characters' popularity in their heyday, their enduring legacy, and their historical influence, that are worth checking out. Two such franchises - the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Spawn - are making a splash this week, with TMNT releasing the second issue of TMNT: The Last Ronin , and Spawn getting a line of four ongoing spin-off titles .

Featuring an NYPD homicide detective with a magic … [Read more...] about Best non-Marvel or DC comic book superheroes

Treyarch seems to be teasing Call of Duty Warzone Zombies with in-game crossover references. The most obvious suggestion that Warzone is getting some sort of Zombies crossover is in the Verdansk Hospital map, where players have discovered something that wasn't there before: a janky trial machine from the Black Ops Cold War Zombies mode. You can't interact with the machine, save for a highly suggestive text pop-up that reads "ZAI/ACTIVATE_ZOMBIES." As Eurogamer notes, the same trial machine can be used in Black Ops Cold War Zombies to earn rewards by completing various challenges. Soooooo.... There's a Cold War Zombies Trial Machine in Hospital On Warzone...???????????????????? pic.twitter.com/CUw7ZlkAhQ February 11, 2021 It isn't clear if this was an intentional tease from Infinity Ward or an accidental preview of what's to come.

Retired gaming executive Reggie Fils-Aime, who led Nintendo of America for 15 years before announcing his retirement, has shared his thoughts on the idea of "console wars" in gaming. In an interview with GamerTag Radio , Fils-Aime said that while gaming is a massive business in terms of the money it brings in, the leadership is actually a small group of executives who are on friendly terms, even if they are competitive in the context of business. Fils-Aime pointed out that the leaders from major game companies come together quarterly to meet with the Entertainment Software Association--the group that organizes E3 and represents the video game industry's interests in Washington, D.C.--to discuss what's best for gaming. "As executives, we share a meal, as executives we may have the need to be on a phone call with each other, talking about industry-related issues," he said. "So while the fans see the [air quotes] console wars. The battle. Look, make no mistake, every single … [Read more...] about Former Nintendo Boss Reggie Fils-Aime Talks “Console Wars” In Gaming
