So, we start a new chapter today.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Source: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/10/06/halo-studios-unreal-engine-interview/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(FROM MARVEL PR)
Just now at New York Comic Con’s Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel, the biggest comics panel of the weekend, Editor in Chief ⁠C.B. Cebulski⁠, writer ⁠Chris Condon⁠, and more revealed the next ongoing series coming to Marvel’s hit new Ultimate Universe. Joining acclaimed titles ⁠ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN⁠, ⁠ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER⁠, ⁠ULTIMATE X-MEN⁠, and ⁠ULTIMATES⁠ is… ULTIMATE WOLVERINE!

Hitting stands in January, ULTIMATE WOLVERINE will be written by rising star Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, VENOM WAR: DAREDEVIL) and drawn by ⁠MOON KNIGHT⁠ powerhouse artist ⁠Alessandro Cappuccio⁠. True to the character’s origin as a government weapon, Ultimate Wolverine is an unwilling agent of the ⁠Maker⁠, the secret creator of this corrupt universe. Mindwiped and used as an assassin, he’s still the best there is as at what he does… even if he’s not in control of who he does it to.

“When Wil Moss called me and asked me if I wanted to take on this title, I jumped at the chance and immediately had an idea of what to do with it,” said Condon. “I’m bringing my essence of storytelling from That Texas Blood to the Marvel Universe with ⁠Wolverine⁠, looking back at what came before and bringing us something new.&#34;

“You might notice that there’s a Red Star on his costume and you might wonder why,” he continued. “If you look at that mask, there’s a muzzle on him, and that’s because he’s wild.” 
In order to maintain control of their corner of the Maker’s world, three members of his council – ⁠Magik⁠, ⁠Colossus⁠ and ⁠Omega Red⁠ – deploy their most lethal asset: The Winter Soldier! But WHO is the weapon behind the mask?

THE MAKER’S ULTIMATE WEAPON!

Before ULTIMATE WOLVERINE arrives in January, readers will see him in action for the first time in a prelude story by Condon and Cappuccio in ⁠ULTIMATE UNIVERSE: ONE YEAR IN #1⁠, the special one-shot that concludes the first year of Marvel’s new Ultimate Universe and sets up the next year of stories, including the Maker’s long-awaited return!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/teams-and-groups/x-men&#34;&gt;X-Men’s&lt;/a&gt; new era is fully underway, and starting this December, fans will experience an epic crossover between two of its three flagship titles in &amp;quot;Raid on Graymalkin!&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;
Left broken and scattered in the wake of Krakoa, the X-Men have since regrouped into distinct teams of their own.

Their different approaches to the X-Men’s mission erupt into a tense standoff when a plan of action is needed to take down Graymalkin Prison, formerly Xavier’s Institute.&lt;br&gt;
The X-Men’s school has been transformed into a brutal penitentiary for mutants by the callous Dr. Corina Ellis, and her prize inmate is none other than &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/characters/professor-x&#34;&gt;Professor X&lt;/a&gt; himself! But after his actions during &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/characters/krakoa&#34;&gt;Krakoa’s&lt;/a&gt; fall, is Professor X worth saving? And who or what is the secret weapon that Ellis is confident will protect Graymalkin against any attack?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s been an exciting time being part of the launch of the line of X-titles, but now we&amp;#39;re really getting into it- our first crossover!” MacKay shared. “Raid on Graymalkin is going to push the X-Men of both Alaska and Louisiana to their breaking points and set the tone for the future, and it&amp;#39;s been great to work with a legend like Gail in bringing it to life!&amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;quot;Writing in the X-World has been one of the most fun and rewarding experiences of my career,&amp;quot; Simone said. “Best characters, best art team, best editors and best fellow creators, particularly Jed Mackay, who is just an idea machine. We&amp;#39;ve been throwing ideas back and forth nearly every day since we all started putting together the bones of what the X-Verse would be like, and I think it helps tremendously that we like and respect each other&amp;#39;s work.”&lt;br&gt;
“I hope that this is a precursor to more short crossovers,” Simone added. “We love the idea of doing something impactful, where it feels punchy and fast-paced, with some genuine, lasting effects. You can still just read X-MEN or UNCANNY X-MEN and follow the story, but you&amp;#39;ll get a bigger, richer picture if you get both. As always, we have the welcome mat out for newbies and long-time readers alike!”&lt;/p&gt;

The X-Men’s school has been transformed into a brutal penitentiary for mutants by the callous Dr. Corina Ellis, and her prize inmate is none other than &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/characters/professor-x&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Professor X&lt;/a&gt; himself! But after his actions during &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/characters/krakoa&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Krakoa’s&lt;/a&gt; fall, is Professor X worth saving? And who or what is the secret weapon that Ellis is confident will protect Graymalkin against any attack? Find out in this four-part mutant milestone that solidifies the X-Men’s post-Krakoan world!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#34;It&amp;#39;s been an exciting time being part of the launch of the line of X-titles, but now we&amp;#39;re really getting into it- our first crossover!” MacKay shared. “Raid on Graymalkin is going to push the X-Men of both Alaska and Louisiana to their breaking points and set the tone for the future, and it&amp;#39;s been great to work with a legend like Gail in bringing it to life!&amp;#34;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;#34;Writing in the X-World has been one of the most fun and rewarding experiences of my career,&amp;#34; Simone said. “Best characters, best art team, best editors and best fellow creators, particularly Jed Mackay, who is just an idea machine. We&amp;#39;ve been throwing ideas back and forth nearly every day since we all started putting together the bones of what the X-Verse would be like, and I think it helps tremendously that we like and respect each other&amp;#39;s work.”&lt;br&gt;
“I hope that this is a precursor to more short crossovers,” Simone added. “We love the idea of doing something impactful, where it feels punchy and fast-paced, with some genuine, lasting effects. You can still just read X-MEN or UNCANNY X-MEN and follow the story, but you&amp;#39;ll get a bigger, richer picture if you get both. As always, we have the welcome mat out for newbies and long-time readers alike!”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Magik Defends Mutantkind From Demonic Threats in New Solo Series&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Writer Ashley Allen and artist Germán Peralta launch Magik’s first-ever ongoing solo series this January!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This January, mutant icon &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/characters/magik-illyana-rasputin&#34;&gt;Magik&lt;/a&gt; headlines her first ongoing solo series! The &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/teams-and-groups/x-men&#34;&gt;X-Men’s&lt;/a&gt; resident sorcerer will unleash her Soulsword, spells, and dark side against mystical threats targeting the mutant community.&lt;br&gt;
 &lt;br&gt;
Rising star &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/creators/14626/ashley_allen&#34;&gt;Ashley Allen&lt;/a&gt;, who wrote the character earlier this year in &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/114291/x-men_blood_hunt_-_magik_1_bh_2024_1&#34;&gt;X-MEN: BLOOD HUNT—MAGIK&lt;/a&gt;, will write the script. The character will be drawn by acclaimed artist &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/creators/12435/german_peralta&#34;&gt;Germán Peralta&lt;/a&gt;, known for his recent work on &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/31553/black_panther_2021_2023&#34;&gt;BLACK PANTHER&lt;/a&gt; and last year’s &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/33273/loki_2023_present&#34;&gt;LOKI&lt;/a&gt; series.&lt;br&gt;
From &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/characters/colossus-piotr-rasputin&#34;&gt;Colossus&lt;/a&gt;’ kid sister to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/teams-and-groups/new-mutants&#34;&gt;New Mutant&lt;/a&gt;, Illyana Rasputina has climbed the ranks over the years to become the fiercest X-Man of them all, and her long overdue solo adventures will see her tap into her mystical expertise and unique mutant magic like never before.&lt;br&gt;
The mystic mutant goes demon hunting in her own series! The X-Man Illyanna Rasputina strikes out on her own with new allies and dark powers arrayed against her. Something ancient has awakened beneath the Alaskan ice. Unfortunately for it, that’s Magik’s territory now!&lt;br&gt;
Throughout the series, Magik will also be forced to come to terms with her tragic history and learn to control her demonic Darkchylde persona. After years of suppression, Illyana’s Darkchylde form returns from the depths of her tormented soul to offer her more strength and power, but at what cost?&lt;br&gt;
“I’m beyond excited to be returning to write Illyana!” Allen said. “Supernatural stories featuring characters with hearts of gold are my favorite, so this series has been a dream to write! I can’t wait for readers to experience the adventure we take Magik on to slay some demons … and maybe accept some of her own.”&lt;br&gt;
 &lt;br&gt;
“I am very excited about this project,” Peralta shared. “Magik is a character with an incredible background, surrounded by darkness and mystery. Additionally, she is visually spectacular in all her versions, and I personally love &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/creators/232/chris_bachalo&#34;&gt;Chris Bachalo’s&lt;/a&gt; design. I really enjoy drawing action scenes, as well as emotionally-driven scenes, and Ashley Allen writes a super intriguing script, where she balances both of these types of situations, making my job even more fun than it already is. I mean, what artist wouldn’t love to draw Magik with her great sword facing all kinds of demons?”&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Eighty-Fourth Episode, Doctor Doom has overthrown The Kang Dynasty and prepares to unleash a Doomsday upon The Marvel Cinematic Universe that will spawn a Secret War, played by the man that set the stage for the MCU’s success, Robert Downey Jr., much to shock and worry of many fans even with the reunion of the directors that led to the MCU’s greatest successes, The Russo Brothers. Star Wars: The Acolyte reigned for Eight Weeks, and despite having a budget bigger than Revenge of The Sith, Disney and Lucasfilm have announced the show&amp;#39;s cancellation due to low viewership. At Gamescom, Amazon announced a new anthology adult animated series focusing on multiple video game franchises such as the PlayStation Brand, The Outer Worlds, Unreal Tournament, and Warhammer 40,000 created by Tim Miller, Blur Studios, and Amazon MGM! All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!&lt;/p&gt;

In the Eighty-Fourth Episode, Doctor Doom has overthrown The Kang Dynasty and prepares to unleash a Doomsday upon The Marvel Cinematic Universe that will spawn a Secret War, played by the man that set the stage for the MCU’s success, Robert Downey Jr., much to shock and worry of many fans even with the reunion of the directors that led to the MCU’s greatest successes, The Russo Brothers. Star Wars: The Acolyte reigned for Eight Weeks, and despite having a budget bigger than Revenge of The Sith, Disney and Lucasfilm have announced the show&#39;s cancellation due to low viewership. At Gamescom, Amazon announced a new anthology adult animated series focusing on multiple video game franchises such as the PlayStation Brand, The Outer Worlds, Unreal Tournament, and Warhammer 40,000 created by Tim Miller, Blur Studios, and Amazon MGM!

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Eighty-Second Episode, DC Comics shatters the DCU with their upcoming comic book universe-wide event, Absolute Power, by the DC All-Star Duo of World’s Finest and Shazam, Mark Waid and Dan Mora, with The Trinity of Evil starting an all-out war with the heroes of Earth, building off years of stories from Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, Lazarus Planet, Dawn of DC, Knight Terrors, and Beast World! But the question lingers…what is DC’s Rumored Scott Snyder-Lead Absolute Comic Line that’s rumored to come following this event? The Perfect Organism invades Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in a Secret Wars Reunion team of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić as Alien: Romulus is coming onto the scene. X-Men From The Ashes continues to build to unsustainable organism levels of comics with three core ongoings and many satellite ongoings with Tom Brevoort’s plans to flood the market with many new X-Men #1s to come out every month as opposed to the rumored Magazine Format that Jonathan Hickman proposed for the Krakoa Era X-Men.

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Eightieth Episode, The Helldivers of Super Earth get the latest war intel against the bugs and the automation as they retake the galaxy, but something hides in the shadows, but we will preserve liberty, freedom, and democracy! Marvel Studios has cast Julia Garner as the Silver Surfer, but not the one you know. Instead, Earth-X’s Silver Surfer, Shalla-Bal, the canon lover of the OG Silver Surfer, Norrin Radd. Jonathan Nolan, co-creator of HBO’s Westworld, intends to carry on and ‘Finish The Story’ that Westworld Season 5 was intended to do regardless of whether David Zasalv and WBD like it or not! All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!&lt;/p&gt;

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a success for Capcom, albeit with massive questioning microtransaction for single player $70 Dollar video game that locks out normal stuff like Fast Travel real hard earned money and the community having enough of it. RoosterTeeth, after two decades, is no more, destroyed by the hands of David Zaslav and his WBD Regime, but all is not lost, while shows like RWBY remain uncertain in their future, RoosterTeeth is going out with the series that started it all, Red vs. Blue, in feature-length film as the 19th and final season titled Red vs. Blue: Restoration, one last adventure, for the final time.

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;NRC Reviews after a lengthy time away to talk about The Titans’ first starring crossover event, Titans: Beast World #1 by Tom Taylor, Ivan Reis, Danny Miki, and Brad Anderson!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fall by Ross Bugden &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bln0BEv5AJ0&#34;&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bln0BEv5AJ0&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THE DC UNIVERSE IS…BEAST BOY?! CAN THE TITANS SAVE THE WORLD AND THEIR TEAMMATE? SUPERSTARS &lt;strong&gt;TOM TAYLOR&lt;/strong&gt; AND &lt;strong&gt;IVAN REIS&lt;/strong&gt; TEAM UP FOR AN UNPRECEDENTED TITANS CROSSOVER! Clawing its way out of the pages of Titans comes an unprecedented threat to the DC Universe. Superman, Wonder Woman, Starfire—all are powerless to stop the Necrostar from ending all life on Earth. The only hero who can save the world is…Beast Boy?! With Nightwing, Raven, Cyborg, and the Titans beside him, can Garfield Logan rise to battle an ancient evil?

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Seventieth-Sixth episode, New York Comic-Con happened, and with it, a ton of announcements were made in the world of Pop-Culture!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First and foremost, Marvel unveiled their next big thing panel with big event comics and status quo changing storylines such as Marvel&amp;#39;s Blood Hunt and FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X/RISE OF THE POWERS OF X that will signal the end of the Krakoan Era of X-Men that started back in 2019 to presumably go back to the mansion and thus ending my tenure reading X-Men Books.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Comics in the &amp;#39;90s had a seismic shift when superstar artists left Marvel to form Image Comics. Now, in the 2020s, a new endeavor has begun as DC and Marvel lose prominent writers and artists who collectively come together to create GHOST MACHINE, a creator-owned multi-media company in partnership with Image to launch a multiverse of stories by talent such as Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Brad Meltzer, and many others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dragon Ball Daima is the next phase in the Dragon Ball franchise, launching in Fall 2024, that will continue the adventures of Son Goku and Friends as kids! A Redemption of sorts for DBGT?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And finally, after a year and a half, Microsoft has completed the Activision-Blizzard acquisition, and Bobby Kotick is set to leave with his golden parachute at the end of the year. Welcome to Xbox, hope you survive the experience. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Seventieth-Third episode, Secret Invasion happened, and I didn’t watch it, not only because of Superhero Media Burnout but because the opening intro was made from Artificial Intelligence, which is one of the reasons the Hollywood Strike of 2023 even happened in the first place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My Adventures with Superman has been a critical success, which is why they have Season 2 greenlit and production already in the works; speaking of Superman, the upcoming James Gunn feature has officially cast their Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane with David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan respectively, along with some additional castings that will be covered in a future video after Episode 75. All I can say is good luck to the new Superman and Ace Reporter! On the topic of James Gunn, he had to assure fans that the release of the final season of Doom Patrol would see the light of day despite WBD’s multiple canceling of projects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EA, with team members that developed Shadow of Mordor, announced a Black Panther video game to be in development! Deadpool 3 continues to expand its casting, with it seemingly turning into a significant reunion of the many Marvel FOX Era cast ranging from X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Daredevil as Jennifer Garner returns as Elektra with a rumored Cassandra Nova serving as the main villain in what is slowly looking like a ‘Deadpool kills The Marvel Universe’ adaption.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lastly, after weeks of contention and stunning revelations, Xbox has defeated The FTC in their attempted Injunction to stop the Activision-Blizzard deal from being finalized and FTC’s appeal also being denied, causing the agreement to evolve from an IF to a WHEN. Much to tribalists’ frustration and chagrin. Oh, and Elon Musk continues to make a fool of himself. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Seventieth-Second episode, The Fall of X is looming for the Mutant Nation of Krakoa…so naturally, it is time to do a wedding when an organization is bent on extinguishing their entire race with Emma Frost, The White Queen of The Hellfire Trading Company, is tying the knot with…TONY STARK!? Yep, the multi-billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist hero known as The Invincible Iron Man is set to marry The White Queen of The X-Men in holy matrimony that may or may not be followed by an ORCHIS raid because weddings in Superhero Comics nowadays must either be mentioned out of nowhere or have a group of villains attack. But yeah, The X-Men and Avengers are in attendance (Including the Recently Deceased Ms. Marvel) for this (obviously political) union between X-Men and Avengers. I hope they survive the experience.


Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender live-action adaptation has the first look of Avatar Aang, who looks more accurate to his OG Cartoon Counterpart than the Live Action movie counterpart, but I’m not optimistic about this project since there are already new animated films and series in the works in the main original timeline which may dilute interest in the multi-million budgeted series that may or may not get canceled after about 2 weeks of Season One’s Binge release given Netflix’s recent years of high budgeted shows ending after only a season. Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal survives the WBD Animation Purge with a greenlit season three in production, and there was much rejoicing. The upcoming Assassin’s Creed Mirage has more details with the reveal of the map scale of the game will be on the level of Assassin’s Creed Unity and Revelations.


Battlebit Remastered, the popular 254-Player answer for Battlefield and Call of Duty’s stagnation and decline, is gaining increasing traction in their early access release. At the same time, Kraven The Hunter launched a trailer set to be produced by Sony for their MCU-Adjacent Shared Universe, and given their track record for films that aren’t MCU Spider-Man or The Spider-Verse animation films, I have very little hope of this doing well, but we’ll see how it all comes together when the film releases in theaters. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Seventieth-First episode, Reddit continues to self-destruct (along with other platforms) with absurd changes due to the rise of Artificial Intelligence, so by corpo logic, everyone will be punished for it. The Flash’s Director, Andy Muschietti, defends The film’s questionable CGI by basically saying, ‘It intended to suck, therefore it’s alright!’, and can only hope his subsequent significant work, Batman: The Brave and The Bold, goes much better than Ezra Miller’s Flash.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;John Stewart, DC’s Earth Green Lantern of many, is set to return in a new comic series titled, ‘Green Lantern: War Journal’, set for release following the DC Event Comic, Knight Terrors. House of The Dragon Season 2 is brought up again, with production hopefully set to start soon, showcasing the Dance of The Dragons and the beginning of the end of House Targaryen. Xbox’s Matt Booty confirms that they’re no longer making games for The Xbox One, ending the era of the XBONE as Dan Houser forms a new studio after leaving Rockstar Games since its founding and Xbox Plaza and Microsoft Theater are renamed into the Peacock brand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;David Fincher’s iconic Se7en film is set for a 4K transition, and the director wishes not fundamentally to change the film and references E.T.’s controversial changes with the police that Stephen Spielberg has regretted doing. Diablo IV’s Hardcore mode enrages players with their character’s permadeaths happening in the most absurd way possible: Loading Screens. We learn more about the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 Fundamental Foundation Changing Expansion Pack: Phantom Liberty and the planned Cyberpunk 2077 sequel! And we learn more from James Gunn and his plans for the DCU and Peacemaker Season 2. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Seventieth episode, Showcases continue throughout the month of June because E3 is irrelevant to many these days in a post-COVID world. Such as Ubisoft unveiling Assassin’s Creed’s Rebirth titles such as Mirage, Jade, and Nexus! While The Continental is set for the September in the 3-Part Event Miniseries, controversies have arose with Mel Gibson’s major role casting in an interview with IGN where they go into the detail of planning and producing this event series with potential followups set in the 80s and 90s.

Reddit messed up big time and major subreddits had gone dark in protest to their changes, hasn’t work as well they hoped. Xbox is put to the task regarding its future, the Activision-Blizzard Deal, and the locking of FPS in Redfall and Starfield, and I must say, it’s pretty wacky how things have turned for them, like Disney and their massive reshuffling of film release dates in Marvel, Avatar, and Star Wars stretching all the way to the 2030s. Overwatch (Continued), continues to display their contempt to the consumer and fans by locking PvE story missions behind a paywall after they scrapped the skill trees and original plans that would’ve justified Overwatch having a 2 to its name.

Skybound’s Robert Kirkman’s Void Rivals was released and gives way to a new shared universe of Transformers and G.I. Joe dubbed The Energon Universe, after the licenses expired from IDW and their original Hasbro Shared Universe along with Micronauts and ROM heading back to Marvel, with new titles from great writers and artists such as Joshua Williamson and Daniel Warren Johnson involving Transformers, and Cobra Commander.

                <itunes:summary>Eric Brown of Neo-Reality Collective reviews The First Issue of Ultimate Invasion, by Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch with inks by Andrew Currie and colors by Alex Sinclair! Music by AVI - Mystery Man!

CHAPTER ONE: GOOD ARTISTS COPY / EPILOGUE: GREAT ARTISTS STEAL

THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE BEGINS! Superstar creators Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch team up! The Illuminati must form once again to stop the Maker from his plans to destroy—or perhaps rebuild—the universe, with Miles Morales at the center of it all! Bryan Hitch’s work on THE ULTIMATES helped redefine super hero comics for the 2000s—wait until you see what he and Jonathan have in store for this decade! Including new data pages by Jonathan Hickman—plus exclusive behind-the-scenes material on the world-building that has gone into this project!

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY INTERVIEW

“[Revisiting the idea of Ultimate Comics] couldn’t be replicating or revisiting what Bryan did in the original ULTIMATES—creating a streamlined, modernized version that would eventually become the spine of the MCU, and it certainly couldn’t be what I did, which was a final chapter of a pre-existing universe,” Hickman explained to Entertainment Weekly. “We also thought the very idea of Ultimate Comics needed to be inverted from what the original universe was—we wanted this to be something that could really only exist in the comic space: a new way of thinking about, and enjoying, a new version of the Marvel Universe. I’m pretty happy to say that it feels like we’ve accomplished those things and we’re very excited for everyone to get to read it.”

“It’s been more than 20 years since I started work on THE ULTIMATES, a project that would have a big impact on my own career and beyond, so when Marvel came to me with the idea of revisiting the Ultimate Universe with the man who so brilliantly and spectacularly destroyed the last one, I was both feet in!” Hitch said. “Jonathan is a terrific writer of big, sprawling epics, and we’ve talked about working together more than once so for this new Ultimate Universe adventure to unite us is very exciting. I get to bring two decades of new experience as an artist and storyteller to this. It’s new, different and familiar. It’s big budget, high-concept, widescreen storytelling. I feel right at home.”

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Ninth episode, Showcases are made direct and move forward, terrible puns I know, with unveiling details and gameplay trailers of Fable, Starfield, and the upcoming expansion pack of Cyberpunk 2077, Phantom Liberty, which will fundamentally alter the base game going as far to introduce a sixth mainline ending to the game’s main storyline that may save V from death, only time will tell.

Star Wars’ first foray into Open World begins in Star Wars Outlaws by Ubisoft’s MASSIVE ENTERTAINMENT which tells the tale of Kay Vess and her companion Nix, set during the one-year time skip between Empire Strikes Back and Return of The Jedi. Suppose you think of it, with all the added continuity material set between Empire and Jedi in the Disney Canon. In that case, this one-year gap makes no sense if you recall the recently concluded Crimson Dawn Trilogy and the upcoming Star Wars horror event Dark Droids that features galactic-wide events occurring that are never brought up or even subtlety referenced in the galaxy post-OG trilogy.

Superman: Legacy, the first official entry into the Gunn-Safran DC Universe, directed and written by James Gunn, is closing in on the test screenings for the roles of Superman/Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor is now set to not only include the usual Superman Mythos such as Krypto The Superdog, but, in a new report from THR, now featuring some of the members of THE AUTHORITY, a rogue group of Superheroes who seek to protect the world however they see fit, which will raise the question if The Authority is already a formed group or will form up in their titular film, either way, this further raises my suspicions that Gods and Monsters will feature a newly formed Justice League fighting The Authority that could topple the more aggressive, borderline dictatorial, team from their pedestal by the Paragons of Hope and Justice. We shall see in this new era. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Eighth episode, Hickmania II continues to be in full effect as The Ultimate Universe is fully reborn anew; as revealed in Retailer Conference, Hickman, along with Bryan Hitch and C.B. Cebulski, laid out their plans for the new Ultimate Universe line that will be fully realized after the events of ULTIMATE INVASION with a one-shot aptly titled: Ultimate Universe #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Stefano Caselli, which will introduce readers to the new Ultimate Universe and the new line of Ultimate Comics that will be revealed in the coming months. Let’s hope they rid themselves of all the edgy jerks, cannibalism, and Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver relationship of pure uncomfortableness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Summer Game Fest 2023 went down in June with a host of titles revealed, such as Spider-Man 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which is now set for Early 2024 and on two discs, much to everyone’s laughter and joy, Persona 3 Remake, and Mortal Kombat 1 Gameplay details! Final Fantasy VII Rebirth features new combo moves, a playable Red XIII and Chocobos, along with story teasers of Sephiroth’s Manipulation and Tifa Lockhart’s presumed death, making CloudxTifa fans worry about the bartender’s fate in this Unknown Journey. Magic The Gathering expands further with the new Lord of The Rings expansion, and already the One-Ring card is a bounty worth a million dollars for would-be collectors; I guess Gollum is going to have friends who truly relate to him; may god help us all; while a new survival game set in the universe is unveiled titled ‘Lord of The Rings: Return to Moria.’ Friday, The 13th video game is set to be delisted by physical and digital stores at the end of 2023 as the developer has lost the license. For the first time in years, a new Prince of Persia arrives in the form of a 2D Metroidvania action-adventure video game set for January 18, 2024!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The DC Tomorrowverse series of animated films all have led to this moment, the official formation of the Justice League as they prepare to wage war against the forces of Warworld featuring multiversal happenings such as the wild west, Vikings, and gritty noir in an R-Rated Animated Film that promises a bloody intense spectacle and featuring the Trinity all together for the first time in the new continuity that formed after the events of Justice League Dark: Apokolips War! All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Seventh Episode, Tom Holland, after a grueling filming and producing period of a new Apple TV&#43; series, has announced he’ll be taking a year-long break from acting to rest and recharge himself for his subsequent planned roles, such as Spider-Man 4. At the same time, Hollywood/Star Wars/Joker Icon Mark Hamill reveals he’s ready to stop playing Luke Skywalker as the Star Wars Universe gets ready for The Ahsoka series in August featuring returning Star Wars Rebels characters and unresolved storylines in the build-to Dave Filoni’s Heir To The Empire Star Wars Film. We learn more details regarding Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse and a scrapped live-action sequence that was scrapped as Captain America: New World Order transitions to Captain America: Brave New World! The FTC charges Microsoft 20 Million Dollars following the revelation of Microsoft’s Account data involving children. Meanwhile, Apple hosted its WWDC ’23 keynote presentation with new updates/upgrades to The MacBook Air, Mac Studio, Mac, and iOS software, along with the unveiling of The Apple Vision Pro, an augmented reality/virtual reality headset gear, priced at 3,500 Dollars so naturally it will sell if the Apple Cloth could be sold at $20 and be priced gouged by Scalpers…god help us all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Diablo 4’s Hardcore mode before the launch of the game is already getting maxed out 100-level players with a method that is being deemed questionable by the community while revealing roadmaps and two expansion packs for the game in the coming years, but be warned, this IS Activision-Blizzard so don’t be surprised if they don’t keep to their promises. The Japanese Legend of Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, is coming out of retirement for one last film, titled ‘How Do You Live?’, set for July and using a bold marketing strategy where they do…absolutely nothing but a poster to build for the hype…Bold Strategy Cotten. Let’s see if it pays off for ‘em. SAG-AFTRA vote overwhelmingly to potentially join WGA in the strike if a fair deal isn’t reached by June 30th to benefit the workhorses of Hollywood in a rising world of AI Usage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Final Fantasy VII Rebirth shares new details about the upcoming Remake Sequel, such as new combos, a higher degree of freedom in the world, and intimate boss battles, as well as somehow writing accessibility for fans not having played the first game to be able to jump into the second part in their trilogy, I don’t know how that was possible but okay…and Finally, Kelly Thompson, superstar writer of the recently concluded Captain Marvel 50-Issue landmark run, reunites with Artist Leonardo Romero along with colorist Jordie Bellaire and letterer Clayton Cowles in a new ongoing volume of DC Comics’ Birds of Prey, revealing the new team of this incarnation featuring WildC.A.T.S’ Zealot, Darkseid’s former female fury leader, Big Barda, The Former Clown Queen of Gotham, Harley Quinn, The Second Batgirl and world’s greatest fighter, Cassandra Cain and all led by the Legendary Elite Fighter and Former Leader of The Justice League, Black Canary, Dinah Lance!

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Sixth Episode, James Gunn&#39;s upcoming Superman: Legacy has begun searching for their Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, and Clark Kent/Superman, with some potential candidates listed by The Hollywood Reporter, such as David Corenswet, Tom Brittney, Andrew Richardson, Emma Mackey, and Nicholas Hoult! CW&#39;s Arrowverse is all but finished on the network as they plan to shift in a new direction away from Superhero TV Shows; I wish them the best of luck in the current WGA Strike environment. The FX series, Archer, is confirmed to end with Season 14 on FXX!

Mortal Kombat enters a new era in a long-awaited reboot following the events of Mortal Kombat 11&#39;s time travel, multiverse, insane adventure in which Liu Kang ascends to godhood and restarts the timeline in Mortal Kombat 1, with a leak coming out that claims the first Kombat Pack will be featuring Peacemaker of DC Comics, Omni-Man of Invincible and Homelander of The Boys joining the roster of ultra-violence! The European Union and Take-Two announced their approval for the Microsoft-Activision/Blizzard merger, with CMA still being miffed about the whole thing after disapproving it. Echo Season 1 and Loki Season 2 get their official release dates, with the former being binged released for the Disney&#43; service while we learn a horrid truth about the House of The Mouse; inside their fabled Disney Vault lies a completed, 10-episode, fully animated, anime Alien vs. Predator series that was produced by Fox before the buyout and has been on lock and key ever since. Only one thing to do in this case…STORM THE DISNEY VAULT! It&#39;s time for Content Reclamation!

Dawn of DC, the latest comic company-wide initiative by DC Comics, continues its expansion with the relaunch of Wonder Woman&#39;s Ongoing with a new number one in September 2023 by the returning Tom King and Dark Crisis superstar artist Daniel Sampere with a sudden reveal that will complete the legacy of DC&#39;s original big three by the reveal of Wonder Woman&#39;s Daughter, Trinity, in the upcoming milestone issue of Wonder Woman #800 coming in June, we learn from Tom King and Sampere of their creative process in creating the daughter of Wonder Woman in their interviews as Wonder Woman is set to become an outlaw in the United States of America in the new run!

                <content:encoded>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Sixth Episode, James Gunn&amp;#39;s upcoming Superman: Legacy has begun searching for their Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, and Clark Kent/Superman, with some potential candidates listed by The Hollywood Reporter, such as David Corenswet, Tom Brittney, Andrew Richardson, Emma Mackey, and Nicholas Hoult! CW&amp;#39;s Arrowverse is all but finished on the network as they plan to shift in a new direction away from Superhero TV Shows; I wish them the best of luck in the current WGA Strike environment. The FX series, Archer, is confirmed to end with Season 14 on FXX!

Mortal Kombat enters a new era in a long-awaited reboot following the events of Mortal Kombat 11&amp;#39;s time travel, multiverse, insane adventure in which Liu Kang ascends to godhood and restarts the timeline in Mortal Kombat 1, with a leak coming out that claims the first Kombat Pack will be featuring Peacemaker of DC Comics, Omni-Man of Invincible and Homelander of The Boys joining the roster of ultra-violence! The European Union and Take-Two announced their approval for the Microsoft-Activision/Blizzard merger, with CMA still being miffed about the whole thing after disapproving it. Echo Season 1 and Loki Season 2 get their official release dates, with the former being binged released for the Disney&#43; service while we learn a horrid truth about the House of The Mouse; inside their fabled Disney Vault lies a completed, 10-episode, fully animated, anime Alien vs. Predator series that was produced by Fox before the buyout and has been on lock and key ever since.

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Fifth Episode, James Gunn&amp;#39;s upcoming Superman: Legacy, which officially kickstarts The New DCU&amp;#39;s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, officially announces pre-production on the anniversary of Superman&amp;#39;s iconic debut! The Writer&amp;#39;s Guild of America votes for a potential industry-wide strike. Twitter continues to anger users by removing legacy verified checkmarks, only to reveal that Elon is personally paying Twitter Blue for accounts with a Million Followers or more; why he doesn&amp;#39;t make yet another colored verification checkmark for the Millionaire&amp;#39;s Club, I&amp;#39;ll never know. So while that&amp;#39;s going on, we learn some additional details of Free Radical Design&amp;#39;s abandoned Star Wars Battlefront III as Legendary Halo Developer Frank O&amp;#39;Connor departs Microsoft and Halo for good, the end of the old guard of Halo has arrived as Halo Infinite continues to struggle in its development progress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After over two decades of success, Netflix has announced it is shuttering the DVD Rental, a true end to an era as they begin rolling out password sharing crackdown in broader strokes. Martin Scorsese&amp;#39;s next big film for Apple TV, will be a massive three hours and twenty-six minutes, behind by three minutes to his previous work, The Irishman; imagine the endeavor it takes for these kinds of projects when not just a limited series for premium tv. Ryan Reynolds shares details on Hugh Jackman&amp;#39;s Wolverine in Deadpool 3. Square Enix irritates fans with their triple downing on Blockchain/NFT Games...because &amp;#39;Playing To Have Fun&amp;#39; is a problem for a VIDEO GAME DEVELOPER in the 2020s. The AMC-Anne Rice universe expands while HBO&amp;#39;s Last of Us may surpass Season 2 and Part II. We learn Infinity War had scrapped a massive deleted scene of Thanos acquiring the Power Stone. The Marvel Age continues as they plan to publish an All-Star anthology issue titled Marvel Age #1000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;George R.R Martin reveals details on the upcoming MAX Original Series&amp;#39; A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms, which will adapt the compilation of The Tale of Dunk and Egg stories, taking place a century before Game of Thrones where The Targaryen&amp;#39;s still rule Westeros before their final downfall, and how they&amp;#39;ll film an entire season of potentially six episodes as opposed to just a pilot.

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Fourth Episode, Legendary Halo writer, Joseph Staten, departs Microsoft and joins Netflix for an unannounced AAA Game in development. Sony continues to whine as it becomes more and more apparent that the Activision-Blizzard/Xbox Deal may go through following regulatory boards giving their approval over the deal, Resident Evil 4 Remake, which is a remake of a near two decade video game, had a new patch that not only released the free Mercenary mode, but implemented MICROTRANSACTIONS into the predominantly single-player game, I dunno guess Capcom couldn’t let go of doing something shady.

WarnerBros. Discovery, the company that has continuously pissed fans off for the past year of decisions that now is catching the eye of the US Government, has announced the end of HBO MAX, and in its place comes…MAX…just MAX…because apparently, with no citation or market data to back it up, parents were scared off of the HBO brand name because parents are apparently just that dumb in the world of David Zaslav, while also unveiling the prices of the service and productions such as The Penguin set after The Batman movie.

Star Wars Celebration was in full swing, and unveiled a ton of new projects set in the Galaxy Far Far Away, the highlights include the unveiling of AHSOKA in a new official trailer, a new Star Wars Horror comic event called Dark Droids, Star Wars Visions 2, Bad Batch season 3, and lastly, most importantly, three new Star Wars movies set in The Dawn of The Jedi era, New Republic Era and The New Jedi Order Era post Rise of Skywalker, with Daisy Ridley’s Rey returning because the nihilistic ending of the Skywalker Saga wasn’t apparent enough. 

We also get more details on Indiana Jones, DC’s Knight Terrors event, Stranger Things and more. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!

Sony continues to whine as it becomes more and more apparent that the Activision-Blizzard/Xbox Deal may go through following regulatory boards giving their approval over the deal, Resident Evil 4 Remake, which is a remake of a near two decade video game, had a new patch that not only released the free Mercenary mode, but implemented MICROTRANSACTIONS into the predominantly single-player game, I dunno guess Capcom couldn’t let go of doing something shady.

WarnerBros. Discovery, the company that has continuously pissed fans off for the past year of decisions that now is catching the eye of the US Government, has announced the end of HBO MAX, and in its place comes…MAX…just MAX…because apparently, with no citation or market data to back it up, parents were scared off of the HBO brand name because parents are apparently just that dumb in the world of David Zaslav, while also unveiling the prices of the service and productions such as The Penguin set after The Batman movie.

Star Wars Celebration was in full swing, and unveiled a ton of new projects set in the Galaxy Far Far Away, the highlights include the unveiling of AHSOKA in a new official trailer, a new Star Wars Horror comic event called Dark Droids, Star Wars Visions 2, Bad Batch season 3, and lastly, most importantly, three new Star Wars movies set in The Dawn of The Jedi era, New Republic Era and The New Jedi Order Era post Rise of Skywalker, with Daisy Ridley’s Rey returning because the nihilistic ending of the Skywalker Saga wasn’t apparent enough. 

We also get more details on Indiana Jones, DC’s Knight Terrors event, Stranger Things and more. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Third Episode, Jonathan Hickman and Valerio Schiti&#39;s mystery project is unveiled as G.O.D.S, as Hickman has described as Marvel&#39;s Sandman, which will feature the clash of The Natural Order of Things against The Powers That Be that is promised by Marvel as Hickman&#39;s most ambitious undertaking to date, dramatically reshaping Marvel&#39;s pantheon of cosmic beings and the entities behind the very fabric of reality. With Hickman revealed that when he returned to Marvel that along with House of X, G.O.D.S was his other ambitious work, drawn and colored by Valerio Schiti and Marte Gracia, respectively; Hickman&#39;s next Marvel Spanning Epic will launch in the Fall of 2023 with a preview in Free Comic Book Day. When Hickman writes, you read.

&#34;The X-Men hoped Krakoa would last forever. Time to find out if they were right.&#34; was the tease Marvel first gave for the Post-Destiny of X era for The Mutant Nation-State, Krakoa, which began in 2019&#39;s House of X/Powers of X Maxiseries by Jonathan Hickman, Pepe Larraz, R.B Silva, and Marte Gracia. It culminates in The Fall of X, featuring a full-blown war between The X-MEN of The Nation of Krakoa and The Anti-Mutant Coalition of ORCHIS as new titles and complete press releases are made at MegaCon &#39;23. It all begins at The Hellfire Gala &#39;23! 

Daredevil: Born Again, the next chapter in Daredevil&#39;s MCU Run, is confirmed by Vincent D&#39;Onofrio to maintain the violence that its Netflix predecessor had, and along with that, Season 2 has already been planned out by the team! John Wick Chapter IV dominates the opening weekend box office while Jeremy Renner shares an update on his recovery in the aftermath of an accident. MultiVersus, which I must remind all had microtransactions, is closing down of its Early Access phase and re-release in 2024, with no plans regarding refunding everyone who paid for microtransactions and Battle Passes. After multiple dropouts, E3 2023 is canceled. While all that is happening, Liv Tyler, who first and last appeared in the MCU&#39;s Incredible Hulk, is returning for Captain America 4: New World Order, as Disney announces the plan to lay off 7,000 employees as part of a cost-cutting measure which includes Ike Perlmutter, The Chairman of Marvel Entertainment, and John Turitzin and Rob Steffens.

Xbox&#39;s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard, which has had some uphill battles, namely Sony, gets approval from Japan&#39;s Competition Regulator of The Japan Fair Trade Commission as Sony now faces eleven members of The United States Congress regarding &#39;Anti-Competitive Tactics&#39; the company has been accused of regarding the big sale. We learn House of The Dragon Season 2 will consist of Eight Episodes instead of Ten, as part of the &#39;Big Picture&#39; approach for the rest of the show, with Season 3 looking all but confirmed greenlit. Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. 3 is set for a length of 2.5 hours, and Rocket, confirmed by Director James Gunn, to be the &#39;Secret Protagonist&#39; of the film, which kinda spoils the idea, all things considered. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Second Episode, Microsoft and Xbox continue to face an upheaval battle for control of Activision-Blizzard. Many industry regulators cite their concerns regarding a potential monopoly and the fate of the hugely successful Call of Duty Franchise being a potential exclusive to the Xbox Platform. Details emerge regarding Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania in regards to VFX and Michael Pena’s Luis noticeable absence from the film, House of The Dragon gets their fans riled up with the potential release of 2024, skipping out of the 2023 season entirely…despite the fact this was known since the middle of the first season, so I don’t know what the big problem is besides the dreaded pain of waiting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Amazon’s New World is switching to a seasonal model, and free/premium battle passes as the MMORPG tries to find an audience. David Harbour, one of the main casts of Stranger Things, is ready for the series to end after the fifth season, while Jon Favreau reveals he has already completed the scripts for Season 4 before Season 3 premieres March 1st! Elon Musk continues butchering Twitter by restricting the 2-Factor Authentication system behind the Twitter blue paywall…what the hell?! The Marvels, following the continuing adventures of Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica, releases a new poster and reveals a release date delay to November 2023, while Loki Season 2 and Secret Invasion are planned to be the only MCU Disney&#43; Content released this, now if only Star Wars D&#43; Shows did that, we wouldn’t have to have Qui-Gon Jinn actor, Liam Neeson, make understandable points regarding the Star Wars influx of content in rapid succession.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I Am Legend 2 will take place some decades after the events of the first film, more specifically, the original alternate ending where Will Smith’s character lives, along with interesting perspectives regarding the events of the film. And finally, on the comic book side of things, Marvel announces THREE comic book events for the Summer of 2023, a Star Wars Comic Crossover event with a teased ‘First, it comes for the metal’ tagline, while an official next summer blockbuster comic event set in the main Marvel Universe titled Contest of Chaos is made official with another surprising crossover 4-Issue Miniseries crossing over Marvel Earth-616, and the returning Earth-1610, famously known as The Ultimate Marvel Universe, with superstar writer and artist, Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch in a crossover called Ultimate Invasion! And Lastly, DC Comics announces the worst-kept secret event comic for their Dawn of DC relaunch, Knight Terrors, written by Dark Crisis event writer Joshua Williamson and a slew of artists such as Howard Porter, Guillem March, and more.

Details emerge regarding Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania in regards to VFX and Michael Pena’s Luis noticeable absence from the film, House of The Dragon gets their fans riled up with the potential release of 2024, skipping out of the 2023 season entirely…despite the fact this was known since the middle of the first season, so I don’t know what the big problem is besides the dreaded pain of waiting.</p>
<p>Amazon’s New World is switching to a seasonal model, and free/premium battle passes as the MMORPG tries to find an audience. David Harbour, one of the main casts of Stranger Things, is ready for the series to end after the fifth season, while Jon Favreau reveals he has already completed the scripts for Season 4 before Season 3 premieres March 1st! Elon Musk continues butchering Twitter by restricting the 2-Factor Authentication system behind the Twitter blue paywall…what the hell?! The Marvels, following the continuing adventures of Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica, releases a new poster and reveals a release date delay to November 2023, while Loki Season 2 and Secret Invasion are planned to be the only MCU Disney+ Content released this, now if only Star Wars D+ Shows did that, we wouldn’t have to have Qui-Gon Jinn actor, Liam Neeson, make understandable points regarding the Star Wars influx of content in rapid succession.</p>
<p>I Am Legend 2 will take place some decades after the events of the first film, more specifically, the original alternate ending where Will Smith’s character lives, along with interesting perspectives regarding the events of the film. And finally, on the comic book side of things, Marvel announces THREE comic book events for the Summer of 2023, a Star Wars Comic Crossover event with a teased ‘First, it comes for the metal’ tagline, while an official next summer blockbuster comic event set in the main Marvel Universe titled Contest of Chaos is made official with another surprising crossover 4-Issue Miniseries crossing over Marvel Earth-616, and the returning Earth-1610, famously known as The Ultimate Marvel Universe, with superstar writer and artist, Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch in a crossover called Ultimate Invasion! And Lastly, DC Comics announces the worst-kept secret event comic for their Dawn of DC relaunch, Knight Terrors, written by Dark Crisis event writer Joshua Williamson and a slew of artists such as Howard Porter, Guillem March, and more.

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-First Episode, James Gunn ruffled WBD Management&#39;s feathers over comments regarding the previous regimes of DC Studios, much to anyone wanting the company to acknowledge continuing to protect Ezra Miller has only harmed the company in their efforts to release The Flash. YouTube horror series, The Backroom, is coming to the big screen with the creator in the directing chair.
DC Comics’ upcoming Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent miniseries will return us to the world of Injustice as part of the DC Multiverse and Continuity! Star Wars’ fans rejoice as the upcoming Jedi: Survivor will feature Fast Travel. Meanwhile, Xbox’s Acquisition of Activision-Blizzard continues to face an upheaval battle as the European Union sends a Formal Antitrust warning regarding the potential ramifications. Ridley Scott’s Gladiator 2 is finally set to entertain the crowd in 2024 as James Cameron admits Jack could’ve survived The Titanic, which took him over twenty years.
EA’s upcoming Iron Man begins production as the Comic side of The Marvel Universe announces an upcoming Hulk Annual that will reveal the next creative team for the green beast. Tom Taylor’s plate continues to fill up as he tackles The Titans, a brand new ongoing series set after the events of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, where the former Sidekicks take on the role of the next primary superhero team in the wake of The Justice League’s disbandment.
Logan and Indiana Jones Director, James Mangold, is in early talks for Swamp Thing; I think he should also do Supergirl since Woman of Tomorrow is the inspiration for that film. Disney announces sequels to Toy Story, Frozen, and Zootopia are in the works…while also mentioning mass layoffs are coming to restructure the company, and they’ve recently lost their own district due to petty governor’s horrible beliefs not being backed by them.
Poison Ivy, conceived initially as Six-Issue Miniseries, expanding to 12-Issues by the halfway point, has officially been promoted to Ongoing Status by DC Comics while WBD is planning to keep Discovery&#43; active for the foreseeable future. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixtieth Episode, From the days of Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC has understood the importance of new starts, taking our favorite superheroes in unexpected new directions and establishing a DC Universe that reflects the world of today. It’s certainly been true for our comics, and it’s equally true for our many movies and TV series.
Last year, Warner Bros. Discovery, after a lengthy series of pissing off their consumers and production teams along with enabling Ezra Miller, announced that blockbuster filmmaker James Gunn and producer extraordinaire Peter Safran had been hired as Co-Chairmen and CEOs of DC Studios, the new studio tapped with overseeing all DC film, TV, animation and game projects going forward. Since then, following, of course, DC fans having to be split down the middle in drama over the removal of Henry Cavill, The Black Adam departure, and crazy ideas such as connecting video games with Film/TV, have all pretty much been wondering the same thing: what new movies and TV series are they working on?
Well, the wait is over, everyone! Gunn and Safran have unveiled the first ten interconnected DC Studios projects—five movies and five HBO Max TV series. And we’re here to discuss everything! All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!

SWAMP THING ENTERS THE BATTLE OF THE GREEN DEATH! During the original Crisis on Infinite Earths, Swamp Thing encountered and formed a truce with the Great Darkness, but this ancient force has been awakened by Pariah and now its influence is felt across the Multiverse. Now the Avatar of the Green must work together with new allies to investigate how far it’s spread and why it would work with Pariah. If they want to stop the Great Darkness from swallowing the Green, they need some extra help…ENTER: SUPER SWAMP THING.

CHAPTER FIVE: TOGETHER
WAR AT THE HALL OF JUSTICE! After the shocking events of the last issue, Pariah has won. And now his Dark Army is poised for the invasion of our world. It’s up to the Titans to rally the remaining heroes to defeat Deathstroke’s ever-growing forces and avert total destruction! An epic war starts on the steps of the Hall of Justice, and only a miracle could help the heroes now. But all hope is not lost, as the worlds without a Justice League have begun to loosen their grip…but can the heroes return to Earth if it means one member of the Justice League could be lost forever?

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;NRC host, Eric Brown, kicks off the year with NEMESIS RELOADED #1 by Mark Millar and Jorge Jimenez!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;MINISERIES PREMIERE! The world’s most evil comic book is back! Who is Nemesis, and why does this eccentric billionaire who dresses up in a mask and cape want to terrorize people instead of helping them? Isn’t that how this is supposed to go? Trigger warning: Too violent and too cool for some!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;INTRODUCTION BY MARK MILLAR&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It feels weird to reboot one of your own projects, but kind of nice too. Historicall, pop culture icons get a facelift every fifteen ears or so as the Tim Burton era Batman gets replaced by Chris Nolan&#39;s Dark Knight or Daniel Craig makes way for Henry Cavill or the mighty Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Politics tends to move in these big ten-to-fifteen-year swings too, as the White House turns red or blue for half a generation, and comics likewise ebb and flow with new takes on old ideas. Nemesis was a book I created with the brilliant Canadian artist Steve McNiven. All my favorite Americans turn out to be Canadian and Steve is no exception! We brought this book out thirteen ears ago, right in the middle of Kick-Ass mania, and it sold GANG-BUSTERS. It was only four issues long, but I think I&#39;ve signed as many of these as I&#39;ve signed mv other evergreens like Old Man Logan, Kick-Ass, Superman: Red Son and Civil War.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can watch fan films online and if vou do a Google, you&#39;ll see homemade toys guys have beautifully painted and splattered with fake blood. 20th Century Fox bought the movie rights, first for the legendary Tony Scott and then for the great Joe Carnahan. Once those lapsed it was snapped up by Warner Brothers and it&#39;s been written and rewritten over there for years. What&#39;s the fascination with this project? How did Steve and I make more monev from this concept than we did from even Civil War, Marvel&#39;s biggest selling graphic novel of all time? It was literally just four issues. There&#39;s also so man things I&#39;d do differently now, and this is the curse of being a published writer. Once vour project is out there, there&#39;s nothing you can do, right? Well, that&#39;s the beauty of the soft reboot. Superman was very different by the mid 50s than his Golden Age roots, that new take on the character flipped again in 1971 and John Byrne&#39;s revamp in 1986.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was my chance to bring Nemesis into a new age and tweak the origin, so I had more room to play than the original four issues, and also integrate him into this Millarworld universe we&#39;ve put together, leading directly into the huge series we&#39;re doing in July. Big Game is where every one of our characters cross over in a spectacular summer event drawn by Marvel refugee Pepe Larraz. It&#39;s going to be spectacular, and I couldn&#39;t miss a chance to do the most perfect version of this concept I love and have the character interacting with all my other favorites. The whole experience has been incredibly satisfying, and I couldn&#39;t have asked for a better partner than DC&#39;s greatest artist; the brilliant, brilliant Jorge Jimenez. So, enjoy NEMESIS RELOADED and wait until you see where this book, Night Club, The Magic Order Volume 4 and our new The Ambassadors take vou. I promise it&#39;s going to be the best money you&#39;ve ever slipped me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cheers for now,&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>NRC Reviews A.X.E. Judgment Day #3 and A.X.E. Death To The Mutants #1 by Kieron Gillen!
Judgment Day begins. The heroes know what they have to do. But do they have to do it? They were smart enough to get themselves into this mess. Maybe they can be smart enough to get out of it...
DRUIG, the current Prime Eternal, determined that Earth&#39;s mutants represent excess deviation--and therefore, he has set to destroy them all. Drug unleashed the HEX, giant Eternals, to attack the mutant nation of KRAKOA, triggering war.
A faction of the ETERNALS opposed to Druig&#39;s plan are working together with the AVENGERS and the kidnapped mutant geneticist, MR. SINISTER. Together, they used the Avengers&#39; headquarters, the deceased body of Celestial, to create a new, living god the PROGENITOR. However, once awakened, the Progenitor announced to everyone on Earth that within 24 hours they will all be judged. And if found lacking. all will die!
The mutants are Deviants. Eternals are coded to correct excess deviation. The mutants are eternal, Mars colonizers, ever-spreading. Eternals know what they should do. Our heroes don&#39;t want to, but can they resist the murderous designs coded into their body as surely as any Sentinel? And if they can&#39;t, can anyone survive the coming judgment?
The ETERNALS were created by the alien space gods known as the CELESTIALS to protect the Earth. One of the Eternals&#39; chief directives is to correct excess deviation. DRUIG. the current Prime Eternal, recently determined that Earth&#39;s mutants, with their ability to resurrect themselves, represent excess deviation -and therefore, he has set out to destroy them all. The Eternals loyal to Druig launched a multipronged attack against all mutants. Meanwhile, a faction of the Eternals opposed to Druig are plotting against him, allying themselves with the AVENGERS, who are headquartered in the body of a dead Celestial.

The ETERNALS were created by the alien space gods known as the CELESTIALS to protect the Earth. One of the Eternals&amp;#39; chief directives is to correct excess deviation. DRUIG. the current Prime Eternal, recently determined that Earth&amp;#39;s mutants, with their ability to resurrect themselves, represent excess deviation -and therefore, he has set out to destroy them all. The Eternals loyal to Druig launched a multipronged attack against all mutants. Meanwhile, a faction of the Eternals opposed to Druig are plotting against him, allying themselves with the AVENGERS, who are headquartered in the body of a dead Celestial.

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Fifty-Nine Episode, Samuel Jackson fights back against Quentin Tarantino’s comments regarding The Movie vs. The Movie Star. At the same time, former Black Widow Scarlett Johansson returned to Just Cause for Amazon Prime TV after her early days from the ’95 Adaptation when she was just a kid getting her big break (Man, I feel OLD). Red Dead Redemption 2, having just been declared dead mid-way this year, suddenly surges back up in popularity on PC, most likely due to Steam’s Recent sale. Asher Angel, DCEU Billy Baston, expresses interest in interacting with other characters in the new DCU by James Gunn and Peter Safran, the latter revealing the new dense system of Continuity for the DCEU such as revealing that not only will Film and TV connect, but Video Games and Animation as well, which I’m non-extreme diehard continuity junkies won’t find a problem with it WHATSOEVER.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We learn the would-be Rockstar Games had little confidence in the success of Grand Theft Auto when it was starting out; The in-production Witcher Remake was announced to be a sprawling Open-World Epic much like the first two games. Twitter’s boss, Elon Musk, continues his self-destruction of the platform and makes us ponder what we would’ve done with 44 Billion Dollars. David Cage discusses Star Wars Eclipse and Quantic Dream’s future in an interview; details of Todd Howard’s Indiana Jones start to spring up in the wake of the newest film outing of the legendary game and the Amazon Fallout TV Show. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MultiVersus Season 2 launches with new content and updates. Marvel/Square Enix’s Avengers gets an upcoming Winter Soldier addition to their game as we learn Rockstar turned down an offer for a GTA Movie with Eminem. Disney gets a seismic shakeup with Bob Chapek&#39;s ousting and Bob Iger&#39;s return to The Position of CEO of The Walt Disney Company. Marvel’s Blade hires a new director and writer, with the star having a role in their hirings while Silk, a spider-man character, is set to arrive in live action on Amazon Prime Video. Elon Musk’s Twitter Era continues to spiral out of control when offices are closed during Thanksgiving week, with signs of Twitter’s potential ending.

&lt;p&gt;The New Golden Age from DC Starts Here!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Spinning out of the Conclusion of Flashpoint Beyond, The New Golden Age Starts The Strangest Mystery to Ever Plague the DC Universe. From the 1940s to the 3040s, great heroes across the DC timeline take on the great evils of their era. But in the aftermath of Flashpoint Beyond, those heroes and villains will have their lives turned upside down, from the past to the far future. The New Golden Age one-shot from Geoff Johns lands at comic book shops on November 8th. It will unlock DC’s epic and secret-ridden history of heroism, launching a new group of titles with Justice Society of America and Stargirl: The Lost Children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I’m happy to be writing these two titles, each one of them focused on celebrating and expanding the history (and far future) of heroism in the DC Universe, exploring unseen heroes, villains, and adventures alongside the ones we all know and love,” said Geoff Johns. “Our goal is to delve into the neglected corners of DC with this new group of titles, from the JSA to the Legion and all those who operate between. It’s the story of where superheroes came from, where they’re going and why they’re always needed.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DC’s future...and its past...will never be the same again. But how are Mime and Marionette connected to this? Why are Rip Hunter and the Time Masters the most unlikable heroes in the DC Universe? And who or what is...Nostalgia? Don’t miss the start of the strangest mystery ever plaguing the DC Universe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THE NEW GOLDEN AGE #1&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Written by GEOFF JOHNS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After making their long-awaited return in the pages of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #3, the Justice Society of America (JSA) is back in “Justice Society of America: The New Golden Age Part One.” Or are they? A long-lost hero from the JSA crashes into our era with a grave warning...but it’s too late. A mysterious and malevolent enemy has invaded the entire history of the JSA, and an all-new team must come together to defeat it. But what deadly secret does this messenger from beyond keep? Where are they from? And why is all of this happening now? Only the Time Masters know.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After making their long-awaited return in the pages of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #3, the Justice Society of America (JSA) is back in “Justice Society of America: The New Golden Age Part One.” Or are they? A long-lost hero from the JSA crashes into our era with a grave warning...but it’s too late. A mysterious and malevolent enemy has invaded the entire history of the JSA, and an all-new team must come together to defeat it. But what deadly secret does this messenger from beyond keep? Where are they from? And why is all of this happening now? Only the Time Masters know.&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Fifty-Seventh episode, Stargirl on CW is canceled after three seasons while Marvel expands the gaming portfolio with Electronic Arts with a three-game deal, citing Star Wars, despite the Battlefront 2 controversy, as a significant factor in doing this. We get extensive details regarding HBO MAX&#39;s Upcoming The Penguin series by Matt Reeves, with timeline placement and casting details, James Gunn and Peter Safran reveal in their meeting that they, with some of the best thinkers in Hollywood, charted out an 8-10 Year plan for the DC Universe, stretching across mediums beyond TV and Film! Netflix announced a Gears of War movie and adult animated series, with Dave Bautista clamoring to be Marcus Fenix for the upcoming project. Still, nothing is confirmed at this present time. Remedy announces Control 2 along with a $52 Million Dollar Budget as The Russo Brothers declare their intention to be away from The Marvel Cinematic Universe at least until 2030; still likely they should&#39;ve stayed on board due to the fact they plan for the Live Action Hercules to be inspired by TIKTOK of all things!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After many conflicting reports, Netflix&#39;s The Sandman is renewed for the second season of Neil Gaiman&#39;s Graphic Novel epic. Ryan Coogler reveals what the original Black Panther 2 would&#39;ve been had Chadwick Boseman never passed away. Winne The Pooh: Blood and Honey&#39;s Director is set to make a Peter Pan Horror film because we need to destroy our childhoods with deconstructive storytelling nowadays. And finally, we get some release dates for HBO&#39;s The Last of Us and the video game Atomic Heart! All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!&lt;/p&gt;

In the Fifty-Sixth Episode, Resident Evil 4 Remake unveiled already confirmed cut content involving a dog from the original game that uproars the community over the ordeal. Following Queen Elizabeth II&#39;s death, Fallout London announced a previously vowed cut of content from the mod in this event before the game came out. The Hierarchy of the DCEU Changed forever in the wake of Walter Hamada&#39;s Departure following Black Adam, as Henry Cavill returned as The Man of Steel himself in a mid-credits scene. James Gunn and Peter Safran were appointed as Co-CEOs of DC Studios to oversee all future Films, TV, and Animation content save for Matt Reeve&#39;s The Batman Universe and Todd Phillps&#39; Joker 2.
Meanwhile, HBO MAX&#39;s Green Lantern Limited Series gets retooled to focus on John Stewart instead of Alan Scott and Guy Gardner, leading to departures and creative changes. Xbox&#39;s Phil Spencer aims The Metaverse as CD Projekt Red made some announcements concerning Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Witcher Remake, and Netflix&#39;s The Witcher series recasting The White Wolf with Liam Hemsworth in a fourth season, removing Henry Cavill from the role.
Elon Musk has taken total control of Twitter, and everyone is concerned. House of The Dragon, with a planned Season 2, is set to return in 2024, where The Dance of The Dragons truly takes flight. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!

                <itunes:summary>NRC Reviews A.X.E. Judgment Day #2!
...THE WICKED WILL BE PUT TO DEATH! As the world shakes, an unlikely group of heroes and less-than-heroes gather to find a peaceful solution. Sadly, the best laid plans of man, mutant and Eternal oft go awry…
DRUIG, the current Prime Eternal, determined that Earth&#39;s mutants, with their ability to resurrect themselves, represent excess deviation--and therefore, he has launched his opening salvo. The assassin JACK OF KNIVES targeted the Five, the mutants responsible for resurrection, while URANOS attacked the X-Men&#39;s allies on Mars, resulting in many mutants&#39; temporary deaths. Druig also unleashed the HEX, giant Eternals, to attack the mutant nation of KRAKOA.
A faction of the ETERNALS are working together with the AVENGERS, currently headquartered in the body of a deceased Celestial, to oppose Druig&#39;s plan. Along with the kidnapped mutant geneticist, MR. SISTER, they plan on using AVENGERS MOUNTAIN to construct a new god capable of ending the conflict.

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Fifty-Fourth Episode, in this episode, Activision&#39;s CCO Frances Townsend, someone who was criticized for her comments and actions during the company&#39;s lawsuit, has stepped now in her role and serves in an advisory position to the board and CEO (Sadly). At the same time, Tencent plans to expand its tendrils across the gaming industry by buying more majority stakes overseas. For some reason that makes no sense besides Sony being greedy, Horizon Zero Dawn joins The Last of Us Part One in an unexpected remake for the PlayStation 5, which has been jailbroken two years after release!
Fandom makes unexpected purchases by acquiring GameSpot, Metacritic, and Giant Bomb. Michael Waldron, who has written Loki and Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness, is now tasked to follow up Avengers: Kang Dynasty with a more significant Multiversal Threat known only as Avengers: Secret Wars. House of The Dragon&#39;s seventh episode was known for carrying an old Game of Thrones tradition, which makes the episode too dark, not in terms of storytelling and tone, but in lightening, revealed to have been intentional. During all the corporate politics, Xbox launched a website to showcase the benefits of Xbox buying Activision-Blizzard. They are also faced issues with the launch of Overwatch 2 with DDOS attacks and The National Labor Relations Board confirming that the publisher withheld pay raises.
CD Projekt Red has announced THREE Witcher Games, a new Cyberpunk, and a new unnamed IP, while Cyberpunk Orion is set to have hundreds of developers work on the game. DC Comics announces their next event comic, which, I must remind you, Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, is still ongoing. It will explore the fallout of Mark Waid&#39;s Batman vs. Robin limited series, known only as Lazarus Planet! And in sad DC-related news, WarnerBros. Discovery enables Ezra Miller&#39;s terrible behavior by having them return as The Flash for reshoots to the titular film, but don&#39;t worry. They apologized, which means everything they&#39;ve done is a-okay! All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Fifty-Third Episode, Ryan Reynolds shocks the world by revealing in his emotional video about the production of Deadpool 3, set for release on September 6th, 2024, that Hugh Jackman will return to the role of Wolverine from The X-Men Fox Franchise after being killed off in the emotional farewell film, LOGAN, whom its director promises fans he isn&#39;t mad about. They promptly give their massive explanation as to why and how Wolverine is back in Deadpool 3; while that&#39;s happening, Overwatch 2 puts new players at a disadvantage by locking out the classic Overwatch heroes unless they complete 100 matches because, of course, Blizzard needs to continuously shoot themselves in the foot amongst the mountain of problems they already find themselves these days, meanwhile, Marvel Studio&#39;s BLADE loses its director, Bassam Tariq, due to continued shifts in the production&#39;s schedule, which the central star, Mahershala Ali, is reportedly very frustrated with.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marvel also shifts plans for the Armor Wars Disney&#43; series to become a full-length film released in theaters as WarnerBros. Discovery shocks the entertainment world with good news and their full support in the Blue Beetle Movie! The alleged 17-Year-Old GTA 6 Hacker has pled Not Guilty to the crimes they&#39;ve been accused of and awaits trial. With the announcement of Hugh Jackman&#39;s Wolverine returning, Elizabeth Olsen, MCU&#39;s Scarlet Witch, spoke in an interview about how she would want her character to team up with the X-Men in a future film. And lastly, Google Stadia, the maligned cloud gaming streaming service, has announced plans to wind down and eventually discontinue entirely in January of 2023, offering full refunds to consumers of the service. Oh, and something about the never-will-die Elder Scrolls Skyrim releasing on Nintendo Switch out of nowhere like they&#39;re Randy Orton pulling an RKO. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! We’re back after a brief hiatus to kickstart Season Three! In a week, we’ve got some surprises, such as Grand Theft Auto VI’s early development videos being leaked to the wider gaming public, resulting in an uproar over the quality of extremely early builds of a game not due within half or a full decade from now. Fantastic Four has found its writers and director for the non-origin story of Marvel’s first family to kickstart Phase Six of the MCU and The Final Phase of the Multiverse Saga! Tom Hardy secretly entered and won a martial arts tournament because he’s Tom Hardy!
Microsoft’s planned bid to merge with Activision-Blizzard hits some snags in the slow scrutiny process. Still, it remains confident in the endgame of all this corporate politicking as EA believes in the opportunity for Battlefield in the concept of Call of Duty going Xbox Exclusive as their EA Motive Studio announces Iron Man! And just saying, one of the few praises Anthem got was the flying mechanics, so maybe round up some of the developers of the part of the failed game and craft it for Iron Man. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands has done so well for The Embracer Group’s Gearbox Software that Randy Pitchford has declared it a new franchise! Harley Quinn’s current comic volume will get a new creative team in 2023, while Ubisoft confounds people by saying the upcoming Splinter Cell Remake will ‘update its story for a modern audience!’ cue The Act Man’s KOTOR Remake talk clip.

INFALLIBILITY MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY &#34;SORRY.&#34; The island-nation of Krakoa was founded under the idea of mutant sovereignty and is governed over by the collective known as the Quiet Council. Hope&#39;s recent ascension to the council following Magneto&#39;s departure has caused quite a stir among its members, but some, including Exodus, have rejoiced. But while the council attempts to navigate their internal conflicts, external threats are piling up. The secret of mutant resurrection is out. Moira has turned her back on Krakoa and, with her new robot body, has sided with the anti-mutant organization Orchis. And they&#39;re not the only ones who have the mutants in their crosshairs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;IN THE LAND OF THE RIGHTEOUS...The X-Men claim they’re the planet’s new gods. The Eternals know that position is already filled. The Avengers are about to realize exactly how many secrets their so-called friends have kept from them. Years of tension lead to a volcanic eruption as two worlds burn. Who has leaked the X-Men’s secrets to their latest foes? Why is Tony Stark abducting an old friend? And who stands in judgment over the whole world? Judgment Day from Kieron Gillen and Valerio Schiti is the apocalyptic emotional event to define the summer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ETERNALS were created by the alien space gods known as the CELESTIALS to protect the Earth. The AVENGERS, Earth&#39;s mightiest heroes, are currently headquartered in the body of a deceased Celestial. One of the Eternals&#39; chief directives is to correct excess deviation. DRUG, the current Prime Eternal, recently determined that Earth&#39;s mutants, with their ability to resurrect themselves, represent excess deviation--and therefore, he has set out to destroy them all. Two Eternals, AlAK and MAKKARI, secretly abducted the mutant geneticist MR. SINISTER from the mutants&#39; island-nation of KRAKOA.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Season One, Episode One: The Heirs of the Dragon:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the last years of the reign of Jaehaerys Targaryen, the Old King, tragedies took the lives of his two eldest sons, Princes Aemon and Baelon, leaving the question of succession open. Faced with this situation, the king convened a Great Council where all the lords of Westeros would choose their future ruler. Two of Jaehaerys&#39; grandchildren were candidates for succession, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, wife of Lord Corlys Velaryon, the richest man at the time, and Prince Viserys Targaryen, Rhaenys&#39; younger cousin and husband of Lady Aemma Arryn.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By Westerosi law, a male descendant always comes ahead of a female descendant, causing Rhaenys to lose even though she was the oldest descendant of the king. Nine years later, King Viserys I reigns under the threat of the Triarchy, an alliance made by the free cities of Essos to obtain the region of Stepstones. In addition, Viserys has to deal with his brother Daemon Targaryen&#39;s misbehavior for practicing brutality against criminals in King&#39;s Landing in command of the City Watch. Queen Aemma dies during childbirth along with her newborn son, who would be Viserys&#39; heir. The Queen&#39;s death occurred during the tournament held for the Prince&#39;s birth, where Ser Criston Cole defeated Daemon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Hand of the King, Ser Otto Hightower, suggests that Viserys name his only living child, the young princess Rhaenyra, as heir to the Iron Throne instead of Daemon. After a falling out with Daemon, Viserys officially names his daughter Rhaenyra the Princess of Dragonstone and has several lords swear allegiance to her.&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;50 Episodes. 50 Episodes since the show came back from the YouTube Daily News Show during the high point of a global pandemic, but we&#39;ve reached a major milestone for the podcast. Hours Upon Hours of Content, Tons of Bonus Reviews, and Sponsored by The EveryDayFans since 40. But we&#39;ve reached it...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Season Two Finale!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hello and Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! And boy, hard to believe we&#39;ve made it this far, and this episode might be the biggest yet since Episode 3&#39;s THREE HOUR talk (Looking back, that should&#39;ve been broken up into three episodes). It features Dwayne Johnson Black Adam drama from a revelation The Rock has made regarding Shazam, a sudden explosive take on Disney Star Wars in the wake of the announcements of Star Wars: Hidden Empire and Star Wars: Revelations in their comic book universe, and further dramas in regards to Ezra Miller and Their Future and The WarnerBros. Discovery Merger Aftereffects (We can&#39;t seem to escape all the drama going on over there.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The CW Network is set to be bought outright. Still, WBD pledges the continuation of Scripted Content on the platform despite cutting 200 Episodes of Sesame Street, Infinity Train, and 30&#43; Other shows from HBO MAX, which ruffled feathers in the community outside of a growing movement to demand the release of HBO MAX&#39;s Batgirl after filming was complete, music was scored, and all that remained was the editing process. Avatar: The Last Airbender seems to be getting a console game soon, while The New Tales of The Borderlands also has a leaked release date in October. Unity rejects a 17.5 BILLION DOLLAR Takeover offer to remain their status quo as The Embracer Group acquires Middle-Earth Enterprises and the video game and movie rights to the whole of Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit as we learn an Iron Man Open World Game was in the works from the creators of Just Cause before Disney and Marvel canned in 2012.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Knights of The Old Republic Remake looked to be in trouble back in July but now seems to have been moved around in The Embracer Group to Saber Interactive from Aspyr. DC Comics, meanwhile, travels back to the 90s with new WildCATS Ongoing and a second Spawn/Batman Crossover and begins a New Golden Age with Geoff Johns at the helm of a new Justice Society of America ongoing and Stargirl: The Lost Children Miniseries. Final Fantasy Director discusses the franchise is currently struggling despite the breadth of content coming out over the next two years alone, such as FF7R Rebirth, Crisis Core, FF16, and expansions in Moblie and PC Gaming. And Streaming in The United States has overtaken Cable/Broadcast Television for the first time ever in the long history of Neilson.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s been a wild ride here on Neo-Reality Collective, and it doesn&#39;t seem to be stopping anytime soon; with 50 Episodes in the can, we look forward to coming back with Season Three, but in the meantime, we&#39;ll be back doing bonus reviews for Event Comics A.X.E.: Judgement Day and Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths along with HBO&#39;s House of The Dragon.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tom King&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Mitch Gerads&lt;/strong&gt;, the Eisner Award-winning duo behind Mister Miracle, The Sheriff of Babylon, and Strange Adventures, reunite to dive deep into the mind of Batman’s most intellectual foe…the Riddler. The Riddler has killed a man in broad daylight for seemingly no reason, but…there’s always a reason. The Riddler is always playing a game; there are always rules. Batman will reach his wits’ end trying to figure out the Riddler’s true motivation in this epic psychological thriller; this is not to be missed!&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News Talk hosted by Eric! In the forty-fourth episode, we are saddened to hear about the passing of Iconic Artist, Tim Sale, best known for the art of The Long Halloween with Jeph Loeb. Starfield, the next big game by Bethesda Softworks and Todd Howard, and after the repeated releases of Skyrim and the war crime level atrocity known as The Fallout 76, it certainly needs to be a win in the Post-Xbox buyout for Todd. Resident Evil and Dying Light 2 get big update plans for the next several while Activision-Blizzard, the company that has had a breadth of controversy, looks to try and sway the court of public opinion with the Diablo 4 Multi-Year Content plan! (Spoilers, it won&#39;t work till the Executives are removed.)

Lady Gaga appears to be in talks to star in...Joker 2, as Harley Quinn, and there&#39;s a method to this madness, as it is rumored that Joker 2 will be a Musical! Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman announce their next creator-owned work named Vanish, a dark fantasy series, while DC Comics continues to oversaturate Batman with a new event dubbed: Batman vs. Robin, written by Mark Waid, set in the aftermath of Joshua Williamson&#39;s Shadow War crossover storyline that will pit Batman and Damian Wayne Robin against each other in a clash for the ages!

The MCU continues its Disney&#43; expansion with WONDER MAN, Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton will serve as executive producer for the series, while Andrew Guest is on board as head writer.

                <itunes:summary>Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News Talk hosted by Eric! In the forty-third episode, Final Fantasy VII had its twenty-fifth anniversary with newfound reveals such as the long-awaited sequel to FF7 Remake along with a Reunion of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII! All players of Lady Dimitrescu will finally experience their dream to play as the giantess woman in Resident Evil Villiage: Mercenaries Mode, while The Cyberpunk 2077 Anime&#39;s main character is revealed to have been mentioned in the video game since it first came out in 2020 as a drink in Afterlife, which by the lore the game, spells a blaze of glory for the Edgerunner.

Netflix, not understanding the social commentary of the show, has announced a Squid Game Reality-Competition featuring the largest prize money and nearly 500 people in the game, luckily, death won&#39;t be a factor (And likely won&#39;t feature Mr. Beast as the host) in the 10-Episode series. Nearly 20 years since it came out, KOTOR II: The Sith Lords will finally get the cut content restored to the game! Avatar Studios announces three animated feature films to be in production set in the Avatar Universe (Not the blue creatures.) Star Wars&#39; next movie by Taika Waititi is given an update and massive tangent from yours truly about how it seems every character in the star wars universe from the Legends Timeline always seemed to have a complicated backstory and big storyline set for them.

Jon Snow looks set to return in a post-Game of Thrones S8 world in a sequel spinoff series with the actor set to reprise his role, provided it goes into full production. Activision-Blizzard absolves itself of all its sins in a likely, not at all biased internal investigation. Meanwhile, Tim Drake is set for an ongoing series in September while Harley Quinn celebrates her 30th anniversary that same month. All this and more on Neo-Reality Collective!

                <itunes:summary>Ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)—in which the Jedi were destroyed by Order 66 and Obi-Wan Kenobi&#39;s apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, became the Sith Lord Darth Vader—Kenobi is in hiding on the planet Tatooine, watching over Anakin&#39;s son Luke, when he is called on a mission to rescue Anakin&#39;s daughter, Leia, after she is kidnapped by the Galactic Empire&#39;s Jedi-hunting Inquisitors in a plot to draw Kenobi out. This leads to a confrontation between Kenobi and Vader.

Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi watches over young Luke Skywalker and evades the Empire&#39;s elite Jedi hunters during his exile on the desert planet Tatooine.

Part I
When agents of the Empire pose a new threat, Obi-Wan Kenobi emerges after years of hiding.

Part II
On a dangerous crime-ridden world, Obi-Wan becomes a target.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is an American television miniseries created for the streaming service Disney&#43;. It is part of the Star Wars franchise and stars Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, reprising his role from the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Set ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), the series follows Kenobi as he sets out to rescue the kidnapped Princess Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) from the Galactic Empire, leading to a confrontation with his former apprentice Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen).
The project originated as a spin-off film written by Hossein Amini and directed by Stephen Daldry, but it was reworked as a limited series by Amini following the commercial failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018). McGregor was confirmed to be starring in August 2019, and Deborah Chow was hired to direct a month later. Production was scheduled to begin in July 2020, but the series was put on hold in January 2020 because Lucasfilm was unsatisfied with the scripts. Joby Harold was hired to rewrite the series and serve as showrunner in April 2020, executive producing with Chow, McGregor, Kathleen Kennedy, and Michelle Rejwan. Additional casting took place in March 2021, with co-stars such as Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Jimmy Smits, James Earl Jones, and Christensen reprising their prequel trilogy roles.

                <content:encoded>Ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005)—in which the Jedi were destroyed by Order 66 and Obi-Wan Kenobi&amp;#39;s apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, became the Sith Lord Darth Vader—Kenobi is in hiding on the planet Tatooine, watching over Anakin&amp;#39;s son Luke, when he is called on a mission to rescue Anakin&amp;#39;s daughter, Leia, after she is kidnapped by the Galactic Empire&amp;#39;s Jedi-hunting Inquisitors in a plot to draw Kenobi out. This leads to a confrontation between Kenobi and Vader.

Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi watches over young Luke Skywalker and evades the Empire&amp;#39;s elite Jedi hunters during his exile on the desert planet Tatooine.

Part I
When agents of the Empire pose a new threat, Obi-Wan Kenobi emerges after years of hiding.

Part II
On a dangerous crime-ridden world, Obi-Wan becomes a target.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is an American television miniseries created for the streaming service Disney&#43;. It is part of the Star Wars franchise and stars Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, reprising his role from the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Set ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), the series follows Kenobi as he sets out to rescue the kidnapped Princess Leia (Vivien Lyra Blair) from the Galactic Empire, leading to a confrontation with his former apprentice Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen).
The project originated as a spin-off film written by Hossein Amini and directed by Stephen Daldry, but it was reworked as a limited series by Amini following the commercial failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018). McGregor was confirmed to be starring in August 2019, and Deborah Chow was hired to direct a month later. Production was scheduled to begin in July 2020, but the series was put on hold in January 2020 because Lucasfilm was unsatisfied with the scripts. Joby Harold was hired to rewrite the series and serve as showrunner in April 2020, executive producing with Chow, McGregor, Kathleen Kennedy, and Michelle Rejwan. Additional casting took place in March 2021, with co-stars such as Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Jimmy Smits, James Earl Jones, and Christensen reprising their prequel trilogy roles.

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;HERE COMES THE HARVEST&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The island-nation of Krakoa was founded under the idea of mutant sovereignty and is governed by the collective known as The Quiet Council. The departure of Magneto has left a seat open and many mutants, including Selene Gallio, have been vying for the spot. However, her campaign for the position was unsuccessful as Hope Summers put forward her own name for candidacy. A poor winner and an even worse loser. Selene has made her displeasure at this decision well-known…Meanwhile, amid the chaos, Sinister continues to scheme.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PART TWO: ALL MANKIND&#39;S WOES&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EMERGENCY COUNCIL MEETING! Magneto leaving the council means big shoes need to be filled. Selene demonstrating her foot size by crushing the whole island beneath it is unorthodox, yet compelling. Can the Quiet Council resist?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;About IMMORTAL X-MEN&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IMMORTAL X-MEN will focus on the current leaders of mutantkind known as The Quiet Council in an X-Men series ripe with backstabbing, shady alliances, and chilling revelations that will put everything you thought you knew about Krakoa’s future into question! Already proven to be a master of the mutant mythos on books like UNCANNY X-MEN and GENERATION HOPE, Gillen makes his grand return to the franchise with an ambitious series unlike anything that’s come before in X-Men history. And fresh off his work on TRIAL OF MAGNETO, Lucas Werneck is ready to use his acclaimed talents to bring all the high-stakes action, heated clashes, and intense DRAMA to life in this first-of-its-kind X-Men title.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Quiet Council rules the Krakoan age, for better... or worse. Now, shaken by INFERNO and X LIVES OF WOLVERINE/X DEATHS OF WOLVERINE, they strive to hold together—no matter how much they want to tear each other apart. Take a seat in the room where it happens. “It” being “the most powerful people on Earth deciding the fate of the whole planet.” Prepare for sinister secrets to be revealed and learn that some secrets are more sinister than others…&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Professor X. Emma Frost. Destiny. Mystique. Storm. Nightcrawler. Kate Pryde. Colossus. Sebastian Shaw. Exodus. Mister Sinister. Each of them has their own vision for Krakoa and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it. &amp;nbsp;Will mutantkind survive the experience?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Featuring stories by an all-star lineup of creators including writers Kieron Gillen and Gerry Duggan and artist Dustin Weaver, FREE COMIC BOOK DAY: AVENGERS/X-MEN #1 will lay the groundwork for an event that will erupt across the Marvel Universe in 2022 and drastically alter the relationship between Earth&#39;s Mightiest Heroes and mutantkind.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;X-MEN: LET&#39;S TALK ABOUT KRAKOA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The island-nation of Krakoa was founded under the idea of mutant sovereignty with the goal of giving mutants a place to flourish without fear of persecution. The fledgling nation made a splash on the world stage when it began exporting Krakoan medicine that was leaps and bounds beyond other medical treatments- leading to phenomenal recoveries and revolutionizing the healthcare market. But unknown to the rest of the world. Krakoa harbored an even more miraculous secret: mutant resurrection. No mutant has to die ever again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Batman is a 2022 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Batman. Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Films, 6th &amp;amp; Idaho, and Dylan Clark Productions, and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is a reboot of the Batman film franchise. The film was directed by Matt Reeves, who wrote the screenplay with Peter Craig. It stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman alongside Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell. The film sees Batman, who has been fighting crime in Gotham City for two years, uncover corruption while pursuing the Riddler (Dano), a serial killer who targets Gotham&#39;s elite. &amp;nbsp;Development began after Ben Affleck was cast as Batman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) in 2013. Affleck signed on to direct, produce, co-write, and star in The Batman, but had reservations about the project and dropped out. Reeves took over and reworked the story, removing the DCEU connections. He sought to explore Batman&#39;s detective side more than previous films, drawing inspiration from the films of Alfred Hitchcock and the New Hollywood era, and comics such as &#34;Year One&#34; (1987), The Long Halloween (1996–97), and Ego (2000). Pattinson was cast in May 2019, with further casting in late 2019. Principal photography took place in the UK and Chicago between January 2020 and March 2021. &amp;nbsp;The Batman premiered at Lincoln Center in New York on March 1, 2022, and was theatrically released worldwide on March 4. It was delayed twice from an initial June 2021 release date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film received praise for the performances, cinematography, Reeves&#39; direction, action sequences, and story, though some criticized its runtime. It is intended to launch a Batman shared universe, with two sequels planned and two spin-off television series in development for HBO Max.&lt;/p&gt;

Now, shaken by INFERNO and X LIVES / X DEATHS OF WOLVERINE they strive to hold together, no matter how much they want to tear each other apart. Writer Kieron Gillen (UNCANNY X-MEN, ETERNALS, The Wicked &#43; The Divine, Die) returns to the world of X with artist Lucas Werneck (TRIAL OF MAGNETO) to bring us all into the room where it happens. “It” being “the most powerful people on Earth deciding the fate of the whole planet.” Prepare for sinister secrets to be revealed and learn that some secrets are more sinister than others...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HATED. FEARED. FOREVER.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The island-nation of Krakoa was founded under the idea of mutant sovereignty and is governed over by the collective known as the Quiet Council. Over time, council members have come and gone - but the recent addition of Destiny to the council promises to test the foundations of Krakoa like nothing else before. After all, with Krakoa now firmly established in the world and galactically, it&#39;s becoming more and more clear that each council member has their own agenda...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DEATH IS NOT THE END. DEATH IS THE OMEGA. WEEK 2—If WOLVERINE’s future lies in the past, what does that mean for the present? The reciprocal series to X LIVES OF WOLVERINE, X DEATHS OF WOLVERINE is can’t-miss reading, chock-full of revelations for the best there is as well as the fate of mutantkind!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TIME TO DIE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In pursuit of a better world for mutantkind, Moira MacTaggert deceived them all. To avenge this wrongdoing, Mystique cut off Moira&#39;s left arm and used a specially designed weapon to strip her of her mutant ability to resurrect. Moira narrowly escaped, but is now on the run from a deadly shape-shifter with only one life to lose.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;TIME TO LIVE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wolverine has gone by many different names and lived many different lives in the course of his long existence. Armed with a mutant healing ability and a set of retractable claws, he&#39;s the best there is at what he does, and what he does isn&#39;t very nice. But he&#39;ll do whatever it takes to protect those he cares about.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THE BIGGEST WOLVERINE STORY OF ALL TIME BEGINS HERE! WEEK 1 - Logan. James Howlett. Weapon X. The mutant best known as WOLVERINE has lived many lives under many identities and in many places, but never before has the fate of the future been so entwined with the past! Fan-favorite eras of Wolverine&#39;s saga are explored anew, along with never-before-seen episodes as Logan must travel to various points in time to prevent the death of a key figure in mutant history. But these LIVES are only one side of the story… Be here for the start of the time-shredding saga across all of Wolverine&#39;s history and future yet to come.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Secrets of The Past&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No outlaw has evaded justice more than WILSON FISK, formerly the kingpin of a &amp;nbsp;vast criminal empire, and now the duly elected mayor of New York. Fisk failed to wash his hands of his old life and has set his ire upon the city and every costume vigilante in it -- including the newly elected X-Men, who have just publically lost their leader, Cyclops, while responding to a rampage in Manhattan. Needing to protect the truth about mutant resurrection, Cyclops has taken on the persona of Captain Krakoa and return to the public eye to lead the X-Men, currently operating out of a Krakoa-grown base known as the Treehouse.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE QUEENS OF FEAR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THE QUEEN&#39;S REIGN! Emma Frost has many skeletons in her closet, but only one of them is currently Mayor of New York City. The truth about the White Queen’s secret past with the Kingpin of Crime comes to light. As Wilson Fisk makes his play, will his old ally Emma Frost stand in his way? Or protect the secrets they share?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Penciler: Valerio Schiti, and Stefano Caselli&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TO EMBERS!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jonathan Hickman’s time on X-Men ends with the dramatic conclusion of one of the first and best mysteries he brought to the line. Valerio Schiti returns on art to help bring down one of the foundations of the era.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Professor X, Magneto and Moira MacTaggert banded together, using Moira&#39;s knowledge from past lives that she had lived (thanks to her mutant ability of reincarnation) to build the mutant nation of Krakoa. To secure the new mutant age, Professor X and Magneto hid Moira away -- but now, as the trust between Krakoa&#39;s founders&#39; fractures, the truth of Moira&#39;s existence is revealed to her enemies, Mystique, and Destiny.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Finding Moira missing, Professor X and Magneto followed the tracker they&#39;d placed in her arm straight into a trap, face-to-face with Nimrod and Omega Sentinel, the Al. organisms behind the anti-mutant organization, Orchis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Mystique and Destiny are determined to punish Moira for what she&#39;s done to them, no matter the consequences.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“The Tower” begins! The 12-part weekly Detective Comics event starts here. Arkham Asylum has fallen, and in its place, Arkham Tower has risen in the heart of the city, a pitch made by the mysterious Dr. Wear. Unlike the Asylum, Dr. Wear promises his methods and drug treatments will heal Gotham’s criminally inclined for good—a claim that skeptics like Deb Donovan and the Bat-Family don’t believe. There’s something wrong with the tower, with Dr. Wear’s methods—and with Batman away from Gotham City, the rest of the Bat-Family is going to find out what…but not before everything explodes. Written by critically acclaimed author &lt;strong&gt;Mariko Tamaki&lt;/strong&gt;, continuing her incredible Detective Comics run, and drawn by DC Comics legend &lt;strong&gt;Ivan Reis&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;NRC Reviews The Book of Boba Fett Chapter One: Stranger in a Strange Land!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boba_Fett&#34; title=&#34;Boba Fett&#34;&gt;Boba Fett&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennec_Shand&#34; title=&#34;Fennec Shand&#34;&gt;Fennec Shand&lt;/a&gt; attempt to make a name for themselves in the galaxy&#39;s underworld by taking over the territory once controlled by &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabba_the_Hutt&#34; title=&#34;Jabba the Hutt&#34;&gt;Jabba the Hutt&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Boba Fett Holds Court.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Book of Boba Fett&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is an American television series created for the streaming service &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney%2B&#34; title=&#34;Disney&#43;&#34;&gt;Disney&#43;&lt;/a&gt;. It is part of the &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars&#34; title=&#34;Star Wars&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Star Wars&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; franchise, a spin-off from the series &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mandalorian&#34; title=&#34;The Mandalorian&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Mandalorian&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; featuring the bounty hunter &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boba_Fett&#34; title=&#34;Boba Fett&#34;&gt;Boba Fett&lt;/a&gt; from that series and other &lt;em&gt;Star Wars&lt;/em&gt; media. The series takes place alongside &lt;em&gt;The Mandalorian&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahsoka_(TV_series)&#34; title=&#34;Ahsoka (TV series)&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ahsoka&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temuera_Morrison&#34; title=&#34;Temuera Morrison&#34;&gt;Temuera Morrison&lt;/a&gt; stars as Boba Fett, with &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ming-Na_Wen&#34; title=&#34;Ming-Na Wen&#34;&gt;Ming-Na Wen&lt;/a&gt; also starring as &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennec_Shand&#34; title=&#34;Fennec Shand&#34;&gt;Fennec Shand&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;NIMROD STRIKES!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Krakoa&#39;s troubles don&#39;t attack one at a time. Jonathan Hickman reunites with his POWERS OF X collaborator R.B. Silva for the penultimate chapter of his X-Swan Song.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Together, Professor X, Magneto and Moira MacTaggert banded together, using Moira&#39;s knowledge from past lives that she had lived (thanks to her mutant ability of reincarnation) to build the mutant nation of Krakoa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To secure the new mutant age, Moira was hidden away, and Professor X and Magneto have hidden her existence from everyone. But now, with the recent resurrection of Destiny and the threat she poses to Krakoa, Moira&#39;s existence has been revealed to Emma Frost and the bonds of trust that helped form this mutant society have begun to erode. Meanwhile, the anti-mutant organization known as O.R.C.H.I.S, spearheaded by the A.l. organisms Omega Sentinel and Nimrod, stands more unified than ever ready to exploit any sign of cracks in Krakoa&#39;s foundation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rising out of the ashes of &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/32954/inferno_2021_-_present&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;INFERNO&lt;/a&gt; and emerging out of the vital time-traveling mission in &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/94101/x_lives_of_wolverine_2022_1&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;X LIVES OF WOLVERINE&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/issue/94095/x_deaths_of_wolverine_2022_1&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;X DEATHS OF WOLVERINE&lt;/a&gt; comes The Second Krakoan Age of X-Men: DESTINY OF X! Mutantkind’s future is reshaped once more, as Krakoa’s greatest triumphs and most crushing challenges still lie ahead. As last week’s &lt;a href=&#34;https://twitter.com/Marvel/status/1466859806128582665?s=20&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY&lt;/a&gt; teasers showed, the possibilities are endless!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This new era will kick off with new titles such as IMMORTAL X-MEN, KNIGHTS OF X, LEGION OF X, and X-MEN RED, a stellar new creative team takeover on MARAUDERS, and revolutionary status quo changes for continuing titles &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/31324/x-men_2021_-_present&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;X-MEN&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/27564/x-force_2019_-_present&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;X-FORCE&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/27557/new_mutants_2019_-_present&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;NEW MUTANTS&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/series/28051/wolverine_2020_-_present&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;WOLVERINE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fans can get their first peek at what’s to come in a new promotional image by &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/creators/758/leinil_francis_yu&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Leini Francis Yu&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/creators/11579/sunny_gho&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Sunny Gho&lt;/a&gt;, an epic group shot starring some of the major players of the franchise’s upcoming sagas!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The journey of the Krakoan Age is far from over!” Senior Editor &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/creators/8822/jordan_d._white&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Jordan D. White&lt;/a&gt; promises. “Our long-term plan that all our creators have been working on in our secret Council Chamber has only just begun to come to fruition. With the filling of the two empty council seats, the Reign of X has ended, and it’s time for mutantkind to reach for their destiny!”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The wait is over, and the entire story of the Amazons can finally be told! Millennia ago, Queen Hera and the goddesses of the Olympian pantheon grew greatly dissatisfied with their male counterparts…and far from their sight, they put a plan into action. A new society was born, one never before seen on Earth, capable of wondrous and terrible things…but their existence could not stay secret for long. When a despairing woman named Hippolyta crossed the Amazons’ path, a series of events was set in motion that would lead to an outright war in heaven—and the creation of the Earth’s greatest guardian!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Legendary talents Kelly Sue DeConnick and Phil Jimenez unleash a reading experience the likes of which you’ve never seen, with unbelievably sumptuous art and a story that will haunt you—with subsequent issues featuring art by modern masters Gene Ha and Nicola Scott!

&lt;p&gt;An entire medieval world will be forever changed when a spaceship crash-lands from a doomed planet.

&lt;p&gt;From worldwide bestselling writer Tom Taylor (DCeased, Nightwing, Superman: Son of Kal-El) and acclaimed artist Yasmine Putri comes a generational tale of good and evil within a brand-new DCU!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CULMINATION OF JONATHAN HICKMAN&#39;S X-MEN BEGINS!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“There will be an island—not the first, but the last…” Destiny’s foreboding words have stuck with &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/characters/mystique&#34;&gt;Mystique&lt;/a&gt;—and fans—since the very beginning of the age of Krakoa. Now, a day of reckoning is upon mutantkind’s leaders, and the shocking payoff to seeds planted in &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comic-events/house-of-x-powers-of-x&#34;&gt;HOUSE OF X and POWERS OF X&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;arrives in mastermind writer &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.marvel.com/comics/creators/11743/jonathan_hickman&#34;&gt;Jonathan Hickman&lt;/a&gt;’s brand-new X-Men series: INFERNO!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;figure&gt;Promises were made and broken. The rulers of Krakoa have been playing a dangerous game with a dangerous woman, and they are about to see how badly that can burn them. Having been denied her wishes yet again, Mystique is ready to follow through on her promise to burn the nation of Krakoa to the ground. Mutantkind’s bright future is threatened like never before as Hickman brings his game-changing plans to a head. Fans can expect more revelations from the lives of Moira MacTaggert, Nimrod’s revenge, vicious power plays, and more in this pivotal chapter in X-Men history.&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;HABEAS CORPSES! Heroes of the Marvel Universe came to Krakoa for a memorial. Now they’ve got a fight. Magneto pushes Krakoa and the Council to the brink! Also...there’s something wrong with the body...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CONDOLENCES TO THE BEREAVED&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Scarlet Witch has been killed, and all evidence points to Magneto, even as he heavily petitions the Quiet Council for her resurrection. Meanwhile, the murder investigation has been fraught with tension as X-Factor and the X-Men both attempt to head the investigation on their own terms. The investigation is further complicated by the fraught nature of Scarlet Witch&#39;s history with mutantdom, with many on Krakoa celebrating her passing. More concerning, something is happening to Wanda&#39;s body -- and X-Factor is going to have to uncover the mystery fast because the Avengers have just arrived to recover their fallen teammate.&lt;/p&gt;

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;THE STORY THAT WILL SHAKE KRAKOA TO ITS CORE! A horrific murder. A shocking revelation. A trial that will divide the new mutant nation. Leah Williams and Valerio Schiti bring you a new epic that threatens the Reign of X and will upend the world of mutants. The truth is hidden, the danger is far from over, and the trial has begun!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dial M for Wanda&lt;br&gt;
FROM PARTIES TO FUNERALS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Hellfire Gala was meant to be a joyous occasion where mutants and non-mutants alike came together to celebrate Krakoa. But when the night ended in murder, everyone is left asking: Who killed The Scarlet Witch, and where is Magneto?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;X-Factor has been called to investigate the death of Wanda Maximoff, using their detailed forensics work to uncover the precise moments leading up to her attack and murder.&lt;/p&gt;

Heyman stated that Reigns had defeated all of SmackDown&#39;s top contenders and that there was no one left to challenge Reigns. Edge then made a surprise return after a two-month hiatus and attacked Reigns and also took out Jimmy Uso, who had come to Reigns&#39; aid. On Talking Smack the next day, it was revealed that Edge had confronted WWE officials Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville and demanded a one-on-one match against Reigns for the title at Money in the Bank, which he was originally supposed to have at WrestleMania before Bryan worked his way into the match. Pearce then granted him the match.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only that but rumors of a certain WWE Megastar is on sight to fight Roman Reigns in the next big chapter in The Tribal Chief Epic at SummerSlam as Roman Reigns will make it to a near year-long reign as WWE Universal Champion.&lt;/p&gt;

Pearce then granted him the match.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not only that but rumors of a certain WWE Megastar is on sight to fight Roman Reigns in the next big chapter in The Tribal Chief Epic at SummerSlam as Roman Reigns will make it to a near year-long reign as WWE Universal Champion.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;He took that first step; one week ago “Hangman” Adam Page took that first step in facing down the fears that The Dark Order laid out before the world a week prior to that. It&#39;s not fear of Kenny Omega, it&#39;s not fear of The Elite, but rather fear of failure at the highest level that eats at him. It is the fear of repeating the past and failing to capture the AEW World Title as he did in 2019 at the very first ALL OUT when he and Chris Jericho squared off to become the first. It&#39;s the fear of coming up short should Adam actually hold onto this number one spot in the rankings and be slated as the next challenger for Kenny Omega and that championship.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;But last Wednesday night, Page did something that he has not done since November when Omega beat him at FULL GEAR 2020 in the World Title Eliminator Tournament Finals, something he has gone out of his way to avoid doing, Adam actually looked his former World Tag Team Championship partner in the eyes. He did not back down or turn away, Hangman did the one thing his friends in The Dark Order encouraged him to do, he faced his fears, and guess what? It wasn&#39;t Hangman who blinked, it was the AEW World Champion who bailed, and that leaves the question of if Omega, who so callously disregarded Page back in November, now finds himself scared of his former championship partner?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;On Wednesday night, Hangman will join FYTER FEST 2021: NIGHT ONE to share what&#39;s going on in his head following this confrontation, and wherever he may be in the arena, no doubt Kenny Omega will be all ears for this one!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

In the debut episode, we cover NXT&#39;s Great American Bash &#39;21 with the main event being Adam Cole vs. Kyle O&#39;Reilly while Johnny Gargano confronts Karrion Kross! Malakai Black arrives to AEW a month after his release, but usually is supposed be on a no-compete clause for 90-Days, what happened?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Source: &lt;a href=&#34;https://cultaholic.com/posts/report-explanation-for-how-malakai-black-got-out-of-wwe-non-compete&#34;&gt;https://cultaholic.com/posts/report-explanation-for-how-malakai-black-got-out-of-wwe-non-compete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Malakai Black, the former Aleister Black, debuted for All Elite Wrestling on Wednesday night, attacking Arn Anderson and Cody Rhodes on the special &#34;Road Rager&#34; episode in Miami.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Black had been released from WWE on Wednesday, June 2, 35 days ago. While stories emerged that some recently-released talents were trying to bargain their way out of their non-compete clauses, there appears to be an interesting story as to how Black got out of his.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Though Black had been on WWE&#39;s main roster since early 2019, there seems to have been an error in his contract. Whereas a released main roster talent has a 90-day non-compete period, released NXT talents only have a 30-day non-compete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.pwinsider.com/article/148547/how-the-former-aleister-black-was-able-to-debut-for-aew-.html?p=1&#34;&gt;Mike Johnson of PWInsider&lt;/a&gt;, Black&#39;s contract was never properly &#34;upgraded&#34; upon coming to the main roster in 2019. This means that his non-compete period lapsed after 30 days instead of what should have been 90.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Johnson wrote, &#34;PWInsider.com is told that back when Tommy End was moved to the main WWE roster several years ago, the company failed to update his contract from the standard 30 day non-compete that NXT level talents receive to the 90 day non-compete that main roster performers are given. So, what can only be described as a bad clerical error allowed End to be free and clear in time for the first episode of AEW Dynamite on the road and surprise everyone.&#34;&lt;/p&gt;

So, what can only be described as a bad clerical error allowed End to be free and clear in time for the first episode of AEW Dynamite on the road and surprise everyone.&#34;</p>

                <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Tales of The Wrestling Tapes hosted by Eric! In the debut episode, we cover NXT&amp;#39;s Great American Bash &amp;#39;21 with the main event being Adam Cole vs. Kyle O&amp;#39;Reilly while Johnny Gargano confronts Karrion Kross! Malakai Black arrives to AEW a month after his release, but usually is supposed be on a no-compete clause for 90-Days, what happened?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Source: &lt;a href=&#34;https://cultaholic.com/posts/report-explanation-for-how-malakai-black-got-out-of-wwe-non-compete&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;https://cultaholic.com/posts/report-explanation-for-how-malakai-black-got-out-of-wwe-non-compete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Malakai Black, the former Aleister Black, debuted for All Elite Wrestling on Wednesday night, attacking Arn Anderson and Cody Rhodes on the special &amp;#34;Road Rager&amp;#34; episode in Miami.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Black had been released from WWE on Wednesday, June 2, 35 days ago. While stories emerged that some recently-released talents were trying to bargain their way out of their non-compete clauses, there appears to be an interesting story as to how Black got out of his.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Though Black had been on WWE&amp;#39;s main roster since early 2019, there seems to have been an error in his contract. Whereas a released main roster talent has a 90-day non-compete period, released NXT talents only have a 30-day non-compete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.pwinsider.com/article/148547/how-the-former-aleister-black-was-able-to-debut-for-aew-.html?p=1&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&gt;Mike Johnson of PWInsider&lt;/a&gt;, Black&amp;#39;s contract was never properly &amp;#34;upgraded&amp;#34; upon coming to the main roster in 2019. This means that his non-compete period lapsed after 30 days instead of what should have been 90.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Johnson wrote, &amp;#34;PWInsider.com is told that back when Tommy End was moved to the main WWE roster several years ago, the company failed to update his contract from the standard 30 day non-compete that NXT level talents receive to the 90 day non-compete that main roster performers are given.

                <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News Talk hosted by Eric! In the first-ever Bonus Episode of Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News Talk, Eric reviews the first season of Marvel Studio&#39;s Loki, starring Tom Hiddleson as Loki, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Renslayer, Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15, Tara Strong voices Miss Minutes, Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius, Sophia Di Martino as Sylvie and Jonathan Majors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Loki takes place after the events of Avenger&#39;s Endgame Time Travel to Avengers (2012) where Loki inadvertently creates a branching timeline that draws the attention of the TVA (Time Variance Authority) and sends the titular character on a time traveling thriller and altering the future of the MCU, which may mean something more regarding The MCU&#39;s place in the Marvel Multiverse as it seems The Secret Wars is fast approaching.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
