DC's Best Comic Ends on a Fitting Note

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

It's hard not to approach the twelfth and final chapter of Tom King and Mitch Gerads' Mister Miracle without a fair amount of trepidation and sadness. Not just because this issue marks the end of what has quite possible been DC's most consistently great comic over the past year-ish, but also because we're finally faced with the ultimate mystery of the series.

Is this story real? Has this massive war between light and dark gods actually been happening? Is Scott Free hallucinating some sort of alternate life as he bleeds out after failing to escape death? Is this all some fractured reality generated by the Anti-Life Equation? At some point it's difficult to picture a truly satisfying answer to these questions. And so it's only fitting that King and Gerads' answer boils down to "It doesn't really matter."

Warframe Review

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

There aren’t many games that make me feel as cool as Warframe does when I’m bullet-jumping through the air at breakneck speeds. While this free-to-play co-op shooter has wildly outgrown its original “space ninja” reputation since it first game out in 2013 – adding open-world areas, deep story missions, and even a hoverboard with a Tony Hawk-style scoring system – it’s the way it makes everything you do feel fast, powerful, and just plain awesome that keeps me coming back to its almost-endless well of loot.

Warframe is a dense game – a tangled ball of yarn made up of almost six years of updates, additions, system reworks, and content drops. Its different bits and pieces overlap and twist together in a way that can make it overwhelming to even think about trying to untangle it all, but it also means that there’s an almost inconceivable amount of deep and often extremely entertaining content to discover once you do.

Uncanny X-Men #1 Doesn't Live Up to Its Name

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

The past 18 months have marked a rare period in Marvel's history where there's been no ongoing Uncanny X-Men comics. Sure, there have been plenty of other X-books during that time, but no clear contender for the flagship book of the line. Therein lies the appeal of the newest volume of Uncanny X-Men. Not only does it just feel right to have Uncanny as a regular part of the Marvel lineup, it'll be nice to have the franchise re-center itself around one book and one central conflict. That was the hope, anyway. Judging from the first issue, Uncanny X-Men won't be the cure-all solution this franchise has been needing.

With this relaunch, Marvel is basically applying the Avengers: No Surrender formula to the X-Men line, bringing together multiple writers for one weekly epic. That story in this case is called "X-Men Disassembled," an obvious nod to 2004's status quo-shattering "Avengers Disassembled" storyline. The hope is that this new series will have a similar impact on the X-Men, providing a fresh jumping-on point, an exciting new mutant conflict and a general quality boost for a franchise that's been all over the place for the past four years.

The Avengers #10 Teases a Thrilling Future for Earth's Mightiest Heroes

The latest game news from IGN - one of my fave channels ever - check it out

Marvel is taking a surprisingly subdued approach to the release of The Avengers #10. This issue also happens to be the 700th Avengers comic overall. But rather than officially renumbering the series yet again or drawing in all sorts of guest creative teams to celebrate the franchise's long history, this issue simply focuses on the road ahead. It's impossible not to be excited for the future of the franchise after reading this issue.

One of the great things about Aaron's Avengers run is that it taps into elements that fueled two of the best Avengers runs of the 21st Century - Brian Bendis' original New Avengers and Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's The Ultimates. You can see the former in this small, eclectic band of heroes Aaron has assembled for this new incarnation of the Avengers. It's a an enjoyable blend of traditional favorites and unusual picks, with the end result being a fun and slightly dysfunctional team dynamic. It's not everyday you see Thor turning to Captain Marvel for help in his middle school-level relationship with Hulk.
