I use these Blogs and Ends posts when I need to do a roundup of smaller stories that don't really rate a separate post of their own.FIRSTBad news for Square Enix, they did business with Disney. Their new Avengers game is probably the biggest bomb for that company in twenty years. They're reportedly out $74,000,000. The last time Squaresoft had a flop this bad they had to merge with Enix. I don't know who they'll have to merge with to survive this one....
Baby Yoda devours the unborn!!!Proud Mandalorian women forced to dance on the pole!!!And I thought this season was going to be dull. I honestly hadn't planned to revisit the Mandalorian before this season was over. After all, these days people tend to binge something like this, all at once, instead of watching it show by show. So, it makes more sense to wait until the season is in the can. In this case, I don't think I can do that and stay...
The answer is yes, yes they can. I'm sure this convinced so many people that the voter fraud tactics perpetuated by the Democratic party are fine. It's just reparations, letting a dead black person vote 15 times in a swing state, right?
This one is going to have to be brief, I'm off to DC for the MAGA March as soon as this posts. A new article has just been posted by Bleeding Cool, more or less confirming what I had posited in my Red Honeymoon piece. That DC is Getting out of the monthly pamphlet business. And that means abandoning the comic shops. “That the Warner Bros firings of yet more DC Comics senior staffers, and the subsequent fallout across the company is part...
With DC Comics’ change in Editors, they’ve also announced they’re going to be switching to something called “Omniverse” where there isn’t a single universe, but continuity will not be maintained between books.If it sounds more confusing than simply admitting “there is no continuity,” it’s because it is confusing.Comic have struggled with continuity ever since the events rush of the 1990s. There’s simply too many books flooding the stands and too much of a back history for editors to keep track...
The Red Wedding massacre at DC Comics was three months ago and it was pretty brutal. A few of the more overly optimistic comics fans thought it was going to be the start of a turnaround, where DC would abandon its pursuit of all things Woke and go back to sensible basics. Others thought that it was the start of a focus on graphic novels and Young Adult engagement in the hopes of attracting Zoomer's interest in DC’s characters. Then Daniel Cherry III...
Gamer Gate got its start in the 1990s. When gaming mags were first taking off they had a major problem. A typical review usually read something like, "This is a good game. I like it very much." There would follow two or three pages of technical prattle and that would be it. The average gamer was left in a daze still uncertain if they wanted to shell-out sixty bucks for the game.Editors decided that they could either teach gamers how to write or...
Daniel Craig is the only man on Earth who doesn’t want to be James Bond.For the past three movies every time his James Bond comes on screen you see a guy who seems to feel like an old man who has failed at all of his dreams in life and is secretly hoping that this will be the mission where he ducks too slow. And then somebody else will be handed off this cover ID that has been bouncing around...
Hey there, True Believers,As you know, we're big fans of The Legend Chuck Dixon's work around these parts, and he's very well known for his take on Batman, along with artist Graham Nolan. He is one of the most prolific writers on the Bat-titles, and not all of his work is available in collected editions as of now, but a lot of it is, so I'll give a nice overview of Dixon's work in Collected edition.His first Batman work in...
The long expected mass executions at Marvel Comics appear to finally be getting underway.From Bleeding Cool so please don't click on the link."... this includes John Nee, the publisher of Marvel Comics who, amongst other things, brought League Of Legends and Warhammer to the comic book publisher, as reported by Comic Book.
