Sins of Sinister #1 Spoiler Review
Sinister's many machinations unfold in first issue.
Written by Kieron Gillen and art by Lucas Werneck, Geoffrey Shaw, Marco Checchetto, Juan Jose Ryp, David Baldeon, Travel Foreman, Carlos Gomez,Federico VIcentini, David Lopez, Joshua Cassara and Stefano Caselli. We begin to see the many ways Mr. Sinister's shadowy actions begin to take place. Using his "Moira Machine" Sinister creates "save points" where his plans may not have gone how he wanted and restarted where he wished. And from the looks of things, he' s managed to take down the X-men Councils, reincarnate them with his DNA included, infect the human populace, destroy the Fantastic Four, leave the Juggernaut hurtling through space while taking Thanos out at the same time, Tear down the Avengers and make the X-men in his own image. However, not everything has gone to plan for Mr. Essex. It seems three lone mutants took very careful measures to ensure that they weren't a part of Sinister's plans. With the fall of Krokoa already at play, much of the human populace in the thralls of Sinister is there any hope for the remaining mutants? I definitely recommend this one!!

New Lex on Season 3 of Superman and Lois
Michael Cudlitz next in line to play live action Lex
Michael Cudlitz (The Walking Dead, Southland) will be portraying billionaire and antagonist Lex Luthor in the third season of the CW series "Superman and and Lois". Stated by EW, this incarnation of Luthor maintains his public identity as “the visionary billionaire behind LexCorp.” But he is still “a brutal psychopath who terrorizes anyone he crosses paths with,” and he is greatly feared by the criminal underworld. Luthor’s official character description also suggests that he will be drawn out of seclusion to get revenge on Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch). It has also been reported that it wasn't specified how many episodes he would be slated for, it's a safe bet that Lex being an important part of the Big Blue Boy Scout's mythos as his greatest enemy. It's likely he will be around for awhile.

Post-Launch support to end for Mavel's Avengers
A lackluster start and a fizziled out finish
Crystal Dynamics launched Marvel's Avengers in 2020. To the dismay of many gamers and fans alike, Marvel's Avengers did not live up to the hype. A poor launch, lackluster gameplay and DLC patches that were far and in between essentially lead to the game's soon to be demise. It was announced that Crystal Dynamics would halt support and any future post-release content by September 2023. It was also recently announced that the most expensive pack for players would come at an $80 dollar expense. Obviously, this hasn't gone over well for players of the game. Since this news came days before the announcement of the post-support news.
In a blog post from Friday.
Final Update on the Future of Marvel's Avengers - Marvel's Avengers Game (crystald.com)
To our amazing community,
After two-and-a-half years and introducing twelve of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, following Update 2.8 on March 31, 2023, we will no longer add new content or features to Marvel’s Avengers. All official support for the game will end on September 30, 2023.
Even after official support ceases on September 30, 2023, both single- and multi-player gameplay will continue to be available...
...As a show of our appreciation for our community, starting March 31, 2023 we will make all the game’s Marketplace, Challenge Card, and Shipment cosmetic content available to all players for free. Every single Outfit, Takedown, Emote, and Nameplate from the Marketplace, Challenge Cards, and Shipments will be free for all players from this date onwards if you own a copy of the game.
Gifting the full library of Marketplace cosmetic content is a way to thank our community by letting everyone experience the breadth and depth of content in Marvel’s Avengers.
We know this is disappointing news as everyone in our community has such a connection to these characters and their stories. We’re so, so grateful that you came on this adventure with us. Your excitement for Marvel’s Avengers – from your epic Photo Mode shots, to your threads theorizing who our next Heroes would be, to your Twitch streams – has played a large part in bringing this game to life.
We hope you continue to play and enjoy Marvel’s Avengers. We can’t thank you enough for your support and for being part of our super team.
– Marvel’s Avengers Development Team

Fury's Comic Files Review
Black Panther #24 and #25. Wakanda Unbound
Chris Fury here with my comics review!! So, without question in my opinion Ta-Nehisi Coates writing, Brian Stelfreeze and Daniel Acuna's art during this run has been beatiful!! The story arc of Black Panther and Wakanda take them beyond the stars!! (Literally!!) and into realm that had not been reached by this character. Wakanda isn't just a nation anymore, it is truly a galactic empire!! However, T'Challa finds himself without his memory. Only flashes of his previous life and loves visits him in his dreams and he also finds himself a slave to a reborn N'jadaka aka Killmonger who has found himself "partnered" with a symbiote, yes, that one. T'challa finds out through stories told by the downtrodden that one of their own would rise to overthrow their dictator . Through trials, T'challa comes to realize that person is him, naturally and the war begins. We are treated to many shining moments in this arc. Three of them being for me is the "talk" between Ororo (Storm) and Nakia and how she (Storm) will always be the one he comes to, Storm's singlehanded leveling of an entire armada of space warships. And lastly what is probably one of the Blackest moments in comics, damn near every black superhero coming to the aid of Wakanda. I' mean every one from Luke Cage, Misty Knight, The Falcon, Miles Morales, Doctor Voodoo and more!! There is even a great speech between T'challa and Dr.Eliot Franklin aka Thunderball and how he was perceived as the "Black Bruce Banner" and how that made him feel despite his accomplishments. Powerful stuff. This story touches on everything from learning about your past in terms of heritage, history and religion. It is very reminiscent of Coates literary works in "Between the World and Me,, The Water Dancer and many more. This run run of Black Panther ends with issue 25 but Coates go on to write Captain America nad has been tapped to write a script for the next DC live action Superman film project.
Review: Milestone Media returns with Static: Season One #1
The Relaunch of the hero we need for a new Generation
When Mile Stone Media was created, it was 1993. distributed my DC Comics It was founded by a group of African-Americans. They were Dewayne Mcduffie (d. 4/21/2011), Denys Cowan, Michael Davis and Derek T. Dingle. Milestone was created because minorities were severely misrepresented in the comic medium. Characters such Static, Icon and Rocket, Hardware and Blood Syndicate confronted issues that plagued the urban and inner cities and confronted those issues justly. They talked about not just rectifying and wiping out crime in their neighborhood but battling and heling in the social issues as well. Bullying, racisms, police brutality and teen pregnancy among a host of others. Dissolving in 1997, it led many fans of their series to wonder what happened to the heroes that represented them? Fast forward two decades and Milestone is back and better than ever with their first release, Static. A story about a brilliant young black kid, Virgil Hawkins who comes from a supportive and loving two parent household but still faces many issues a kid his age deals with. Bullies, racism and the courage to talk to his high school. While attending a demonstration Black Lives Matter the crowd is deemed a threat (where have we heard this before?) with what was perceived as tear gas, but this wasn't tear gas. It was an experimental gas that killed many people in the crowd and those that didn't die were blessed (or cursed) with abilities or mutations (Bang Babies). In this first issue alone we see Virgil dealing with the aftermath of that night and trying to deal with his powers, his anger, and his bully Frank (Hotstreak). Not to mention trying to find out why an illegal was used and still impress the girl without losing control of his hormones or himself. This deals with issues many teenage/young men deal with and walks through the many emotions we all feel whether white or black. Written by Vita Ayala. Art by ChrisCross and Nikolas Draper-Ivey. Static: Season One is sure to reinvigorate new and old fans alike!
Static: Season One #1 is in local comic book retailers now.

Review: Heroes Reborn and Heroes Return (Limited series)
A great story that is short lived and leave you wanting more.
Every since the Squadron Supreme had been introduced to Marvel Comics canon by Roy Thomas (writer) John Buscema (artist) back in 1971. There has always managed to be a really good story involving the team.. Considered to be the Marvel counterpart to DC Comics Justice League it's members Hyperion (Superman), NightHawk (Batman), Princess Zarda or Power Princess (Wonder Woman), Doctor Spectrum (Green Lantern) and The Whizzer or The Blur depends on which incarnation was based on The Flash. They also had other notable members that were obviously takes on DC characters. In this latest incarnation during Marvel's other big events (The King in Black, Enter the Phoenix) We are treated to seeing Phil Coulson making a deal. A deal with Mephisto. When Coulson was last seen in the event of Secret Empire where he was taken out by a Captain America that was actually a sleeper Hydra agent. Later brought back to life by Mephisto. This made Coulson a cynic to the heroes he once looked up to and by orders of Gen. "Thunderbolt" Ross began to build the a government ran Squadron Supreme. Coulson sold his soul to Mephisto and wanted a world where the Avengers never existed. Imagine a world where Captain America never left the ice or Tony Stark never created his armor in a cave. In this new world the only one who knows something isn't right and remembers the world as it should be is Blade. The world seems to worship Mephisto and none of the Squadron seems affected, at first. As Blade makes his way around the world to "wake up" the Avengers the world has wiped from their memories. The first is Thor. Who he finds in a bar drunk out of his mind and thinks Blade as a fool. Yet, once Blade leaves Thor's powers and memories begin to return. When Blade makes his way to Antarctica where Captain America's body is frozen in ice, it takes Cap to truly wake up and realize what has happened. Once all the Avengers have their memories restored Coulson (Who is the President of the USA) as punishment for his failure is trapped in the Pandemonium Cube. At the end of the story it is revealed by Mephisto that this is just a demonstration to the Council of Red. A collection of Mephistos from different realities. Stating that what could be done if they were all a part of a bigger scheme in his plan. I will say that every time the Squadron Supreme is introduced into the Marvel storyline or even stand alone stories such as Supreme Power written by Babylon 5's J. Michael Straczynski. It's always a treat of a story that's being told. You can pick up Heroes Reborn/ Heroes Return which is a multi-part limited series in your local comic retailer.
