What’s My Shine? Mad #17 November 1954 Before becoming the premiere parody magazine teaching young readers to distrust all authority, MAD was a comic book spoofing other comics. Archie became the juvenile delinquent “Starchie,” who ran a hall-pass racket. “Superduperman” beat up old folks and showed inappropriate interest in Lois Pain, “Girl Reporter.” Political cracks formed when cartoonist Jack Davis subpoenaed Senator Joseph McCarthy to testify on a spoof of the game show What’s My Line?...

With the growth of the internet and information technology, the world has become a global village. Here, people from different languages come together to make a living. Remote work also accelerates the mixing of people from several cultures and languages. Hence, parents are willing to teach their kids in prominent foreign languages so that children can break regional boundaries. Mondly Kids make that happen without squeezing your child. Why Do Children Need to Learn Multiple Languages?...

Nekrokosm will partner Cosmatos with the envelope-pushing A24 for a “phantasmagorical fantasy nightmare”, and although the exact details of the project are being kept under wraps, we were able to speak with the director and get some new info on what we can expect from the movie. “It’s not hard sci fi,” he tells Den of Geek. “It’s very fantastical and bizarre. I think of Mandy as sort of a crowd pleaser, but I’m hoping this one’s going to be even more of a crowd pleaser, because the film I want to make after Nekrokosm is a lot more dark, tonally, and existential....

The book in question, The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is rife with intriguing MCU factoids, which has resulted in twisted narratives surfacing on social media and the blogosphere regarding what it specifically reveals about the official status of Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter—shows created under the auspices of now-absorbed studio Marvel Television—in Marvel Studios’ acknowledged MCU canon. Consequently, Tara Bennett, who co-authored the book with Paul Terry, addresses the inaccurate claim that the book confirms the canonical status of those two shows....

Marvel shows existed siloed off in their own continuities and on different networks like Agents of SHIELD on ABC, Runaways on Hulu, and Daredevil and all his Defender friends on Netflix. Right before the Marvel Television imprint was shuttered in favor of Marvel Entertainment, however, we very nearly got one last creative swing. In a sprawling feature about the history of Marvel Comics character Ghost Rider, ComicBook.com unveils some new details about the now-canceled Agents of SHIELD spinoff featuring Robbie Reyes a....

While Shepard is the star of the Mass Effect trilogy, it’s hard to deny that some of the game’s most compelling characters are the ones who serve alongside him aboard the Normandy and stand by his side during the game’s most dangerous adventures. Many Mass Effect players know their crew better than they know their family, which is both a testament to the quality of the game’s characters and a testament to the quality of awkward Thanksgiving dinner guests everywhere....

Nintendo has historically never been very open in terms of sales figures, but between the official sales figures that have been released over the years and most educated guesses regarding Metroid‘s historic sales figures, we can safely say that Metroid is not one of Nintendo’s best-selling franchises. Not only do most estimates suggest that Metroid barely cracks a list of the top twenty best-selling Nintendo franchises ever, but there’s a possibility that no Metroid game has ever sold more than 4 million units....

He’s a complex character who now has almost 50 years of comics under his belt. As a result, it can be a bit daunting if you’re looking for a way into his Marvel Comics history and aren’t sure where to start. Luckily, we’re here to help you as much as we can by isolating some of his best offerings to date! Werewolf by Night #32 (1975) Doug Moench and Don Perlin The issue that started it all!...

My good doctor, we don’t like you now! And nothing that occurs before the credits roll changes that. This might seem harsh for what on the surface is intentionally light entertainment—an attempt to mingle the bloodlines of modern superhero flicks with the far older lineage of vampire cinema. There are, indeed, elements that have as much to do with Bram Stoker as Stan Lee. During the opening sequences set in the jungles of Costa Rica, a then-disabled Dr....

MultiVersus may still technically be in its beta period, but the game is quickly expanding its library of playable characters. Currently, the title sports 17 playable characters with an additional two confirmed fighters, Rick and Morty, on the way. Given all the leaks we’ve heard and progress we’ve seen, it’s only a matter of time until even more recognizable characters make the jump to MultiVersus. While it’s going to take a while for MultiVersus to rival Super Smash Bros....

Recently, the official MultiVersus Twitter account announced that the game’s first season is finally ready for its big debut. Currently, MultiVersus is in the middle of a kind of elaborate “preseason” designed to give players a warmup before the real fight begins. Not only will this upcoming season mark the beginning of a new Battle Pass (meaning this is the last call to earn that Cake the Cat skin), but also new playable characters and game modes....

Paula Hawkins’ novel The Girl on the Train was a cultural phenomenon when it was published back in 2015, and a movie adaptation swiftly followed starring Emily Blunt in the lead role. Blunt plays Rachel, a depressed alcoholic who travels to London every day because she’s ashamed to tell her housemate she’s lost her job. Rachel is a blackout drunk obsessed with a couple she sees from the window of the train, but when the young woman goes missing Rachel insinuates herself into the investigation, despite having been seen in the area the night of the disappearance and having no memory of what happened....

Netflix’s take on Resident Evil is unlike any other adaptation of the long-running game series. Not just in its change of format but in its approach to blending the franchise’s zombie-ridden world with a semi real-world setting in which everyday conversations run the gamut from Covid-19 to Dua Lipa. It’s a strange cocktail of a show that can be patchy and imbalanced at times, and yet oddly fun, irreverent, and surprising as well....

Having said that, this is an MMO we’re talking about, and even in New World‘s earliest days, it’s already becoming clear that there are a select few “class” builds that are at least comfortably among the best available options. So while we’re happy to share some of the best New World builds that players have found so far, keep in mind that this is still a very young game and we won’t know what the most powerful overall options are until the meta settles sometime down the line....

Here’s how they inform One Night in Miami. One Night in Miami Trailer Here is the trailer that gives you an idea of the film’s unique approach… One Night in Miami is a breakout role for Ben-Adir who is a revelation as Malcolm X. He’s previously enjoyed small roles in King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, The Commuter, and Noelle. On Showtime’s The Comey Rule, he played President Barack Obama....

“We believe it’s necessary to change the name of the hero currently known as McCree to something that better represents what Overwatch stands for,” says the Overwatch team in a recent tweet. “We realize that any change to such a well-loved and central hero in the game’s fiction will take time to roll out correctly, and we’ll share updates as this work progresses. In the near term, we had planned to kick off a narrative arc in September supported with new story and game content, of which McCree was a key part....

What a sorrowful hour. Maybe after that, all those Peaky Blinders fans who aspire to be Tommy Shelby will see that beneath the sharp cheekbones and the sharp tailoring there’s nothing to envy. Scrape away the cash and the cars and the power and there’s just pain, grief, and now, a deadline. One year to 18 months. To change the fucking world. If Dr Holford and the country’s top three brain surgeons are right, Tommy won’t live to see the outbreak of World War II....

During a mandatory quarantine in New Zealand prior to shooting X, Ti West and star Mia Goth fleshed out an origin story for Pearl, the murderous elderly woman in that movie played by a prosthetically aged-up Goth. Improbably, the outlines of those discussions became the script for Pearl. Shot in secret immediately following the filming of X, the prequel looks and sounds like no other horror movie you’ll see this year and features a jaw-dropping performance from Goth, whose psychotic grin will be burned into the back of audiences’ minds for a long time to come....

The first kindness the monster encounters in life comes from a drunken actor, long past his prime. The actor was Shakespearean trained, was once the toast of London, but now, acts out of a lesser venue. A venue where blood and treachery rule the night, brooms and mops rule the day. Where audiences cheer as blood runs over pretty ladies and refined gentlemen. This actor looks past the monster’s tortured visage and gives him drink, food and more drink....
