A significant part of Deadpool’s success came down to the movie’s willingness to subvert and outright mock the established tropes of the superhero genre. True to character, the movie continually broke the fourth wall by addressing the audience, culminating in a deliberately anti-climactic post-credits sting. The titular superhero spent most of the scene attempting to usher audiences from the theatre, although he did drop some early news about Deadpool 2.

Word has officially arrived that Activison and Bungie are splitting up, with the publishing rights to Destiny falling back into the hands of developer Bungie. This isn’t the first time that the studio has been through a breakup of this magnitude, as Bungie previously left Microsoft in order to pursue the creation of Destiny. While Bungie left behind the Halo franchise in that divorce, there’s one major difference in this split from Activision – the studio retained its IP....

It will be hard for comic fans to remember the early days of Doomsday Clock, promised to answer the one great mystery of the DC Rebirth: the role played by Doctor Manhattan in the New 52 reboot....

Warning: Potential SPOILERS for DC’s Batman The Batman comic series will be getting a new creative team in 2020, but rumors suggest DC is also planning a larger change–passing the mantle of Batman from Bruce Wayne to Luke Fox, the current Batwing. For those unfamiliar with Fox, his role within the Batman Family received a boost with James Tynion IV’s incarnation of the Detective Comics team following DC’s 2016 Rebirth. As the name implies, Luke is the son of Wayne Enterprises and noted Bat-ally Lucius Fox, making his brilliant father seem positively prehistoric by comparison....

SYFY’s comic book adaptation of Deadly Class will bring the ‘80s to life in a gritty way that will also double as a love letter to Generation X. Period dramas on television are nothing new, and shows set during the ‘80s are everywhere these days — Stranger Things, Halt and Catch Fire, and The Americans being among some of the best — but this new series will aim to be a little more personal in its approach to the decade - at least as it pertains to how series creator and co-showrunner Rick Remender plans to depict that particular period of time....

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Deadpool 2 Deadpool 2 is stuffed to the brim with cameos and in-jokes but one appearance from the X-Men apparently had a much different and dirtier take.

Destiny 2 is a true masterpiece, with the music and the truly incredible amount of lore behind each individual enemy and friendly vendors. There are two modes in the game, PvE and PvP. Although PvE (players vs environment) is the main aspect. But, for new players, PVP (player vs player) is a fantastic experience. However, talking about the PvE, PvE is a teamwork environment where you need to work together. This is where you will spend most of your time through your destiny journey....
