You have to hand it to these guys. When the easter eggs in the game aren’t good enough, they will engage in some kind of steganographic vision-quest until they half-discover and half-hallucinate a secret that seems special enough to sate their oversized commitment to finding it.

I love the way that every piece of news about this movie makes it sound that much fishier, even when it would be good news for most other movies.

There seem to be more superhero titles among the winners than usual, thanks in large part to writers who have come to comics from journalism and prose fiction: Coates, Gay, and Ahmed.

“Might” be okay? What, exactly, about the idea of Buffy is somehow inherently “white” exactly? I agree that it would require black women in the writers’ room, but otherwise I’m a little disturbed by the undertones of your comment.

I mean he was a dragon man.

It is always depressing when companies respond to this kind of fraudulent right-wing concern trolling. There is no real doubt that these trolls scoured James Gunn’s internet history to punish him for denouncing their cultural chauvinism. They aren’t bothering to hide it.

This is probably a smart move given the aging readership of comics and the unceasing popularity of young adult fiction. At the very least, it should appeal to the usual 30- or 40-something comic-book fans who already read a heap of YA. And all the better if a few of those rare and elusive “new readers” stumble their…

The scene feels almost as alien as a Predator itself. How will it fit in with the rest of the film, which looks from the trailers, like a big, badass action movie? That seems to be the magic formula Black is going to with the film, but this scene felt contrary to it.

Wow. This version of Robin would fit right into that Patton Oswalt sketch. “They’re asleep.”

For what it’s worth, No Man’s Sky at the very least didn’t coerce players for money just to see a final product.

They haven’t added a stretchgoal since 2014. And most of those are little things like giving the player a towel(as in Hitchhiker’s Guide) because they didn’t want to push the scope further every single million just for the sake of doing it.

If they never release the game, they can keep selling the dreams forever.

It wasn’t the 90s, believe it or not! That was mid-2000s. Jim Lee did the redesign, I think, and did what he’s been doing best: making female heroes look like Vegas cocktail servers (see: Wonder Woman’s choker).

“They didn’t just figure out how to sell DLC for a game that didn’t yet exist,” he said. “They figured out how to sell scope creep itself.”

Aw, crap. I was hoping this one would recapture that Blood Dragon feeling, but it sounds like the setting is a crutch for some unimaginative gameplay.

You mean it’s a Millar book?

I’m sure there is an audience for it, but the appeal of Jupiter’s Legacy without Frank Quitely is lost on me. As usual, his pencils are both wonderful and off-putting. He captures everything from body-language to discrete droplets of blood and chunks of debris with an air of inhuman precision.

Is that the one where he tells his readers that he’s been, uh, compromising them the whole time?

 I am probably alone here in thinking the movie sucked?

God, what is with the belt-buckle straps on these costumes? I get the ones that hold up her holsters, but the other ones seem pointless even by the lax standards of fetish-wear utility.
