Marvel has established a clear trend with major, multiverse-spanning Spider-Man crossovers in recent years. Before the main event begins, there’s the obligatory “Edge of…” miniseries to kick things off. Edge of Spider-Geddon #1 does little to suggest this latest crossover will stray very far from the beaten path. But anyone who craves another glimpse of Spider-Punk and his strange, anarchic Marvel Universe, this issue will satisfy.
Old Man Logan’s story will officially conclude with the 12-part limited series, “Dead Man Logan.”
Per Newsarama, “Dead Man Logan” will see Old Man Logan tying up loose ends by going after Mysterio, who tricked Logan into murdering his fellow X-Men in the Old Man Logan timeline. This forced Logan to retire (for a time) while disavowing the Wolverine name.

Walmart has some of the best the Switch has to offer on sale right now. Not only can you save on great games, they also have free 2-day shipping. I don’t know about you, but that’s my absolute favorite kind of shipping. There’s also a great deal on a new Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Labo bundle.
These are pretty much the lowest prices these games have ever seen, or they match the historic lowest prices. And the Switch plus Labo bundle is a huge way to save, too. It’s not quite as great as the earlier bundled Switch and game deal, where you could pick from one of several games for $29 with a new Switch, but in terms of raw savings, it’s a better deal.
Sony has announced a limited edition PS4 celebrating a huge milestone, making for yet another in a line of special edition consoles this generation.
In honor of the console and its reveal, IGN has taken a look back at many of the special edition PS4’s, PS4 Slims, and PS4 Pros. Take a dive into the history of the special consoles in the gallery below.
A couple caveats — we opted not to include many of the special edition consoles that were offered in extremely limited supply (ie, a special PS4 Pro of which only one or a dozen were made). We also, because of limited assets to use, did not include the Final Fantasy XIV Heavensward, Hatsune Miku, and Dynasty Warriors 8 special editions due to a lack of available, clean images.
Alpha’s not the movie that most moviegoers have been waiting desperately all summer long to see and it’s sliding into theaters with comparatively little fanfare – it’s certainly not the leader of the pack when it comes to the season’s major studios releases. That said, don’t dismiss this as a dud that the studio is trying to hide or purely a family movie aimed at being little more than a distraction for kids at the tail end of their school holidays.
Directed by Albert Hughes and set in the Ice Age, Alpha is the story of a young man, Keda (played by Kodi Smit-McPhee) who is left for dead by his tribe when his first hunt goes wrong and tries to survive alone in the wilderness. Befriending a lone wolf abandoned by its own pack, they set off together to make it home before the harsh winter kicks in, facing various hurdles and strengthening their bond.
A new Spider-Man gameplay trailer is debuting exclusively on IGN, and it centers on the open-world New York City that Spider-Man calls home.
The trailer, called Just the Facts: Marvel’s New York, consists of Spider-Man swinging, spinning, and swan-diving through the upcoming game’s open-world while a radio show hosted by J. Jonah Jameson plays in the background. In it, Jameson smack-talks everyone’s favorite web-slinger while Peter Parker calls on the show to defend his alter ego.
Some major landmarks are shown off in the trailer, both fictional and real. The video gives us a closer look at the Sanctum Sanctorum, the famous residence of Doctor Strange, and the Avengers Tower, headquarters of, you guessed it: The Avengers. As far as real-world landmarks, the Radio City Music Hall and a riff on MoMA called the Manhattan Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) are both shown off.
If you’ve been keeping up with Marvel’s latest comic event — Infinity Wars (not to be confused with Infinity War, the movie) — you’ll know that fan-favorite Guardian of the Galaxy Gamora recently had a major reveal, and a pretty dark one at that. So dark, in fact, she may have just solidified her future role as one of Marvel’s next big bads, just like her father. The question is: how did she end up here, and, more importantly, what does that actually mean?
Warning: this post contains spoilers for Infinity Countdown, Infinity Wars Prime, and Infinity Wars!
Unsurprisingly, Gamora’s descent into madness (?) begins well before all the Infinity Gem chaos really started to ramp up, all the way back in the mid ‘70s before the original Infinity Gauntlet event where Gamora’s consciousness was absorbed into the Soul Gem after her body was killed. In the ensuing years, Gamora’s soul was projected from the Soulworld housed within the gem and given new physical form, essentially resurrecting her and paving the way for the modern Gamora we know and love today.
DC Entertainment is celebrating the upcoming fifth annual Batman Day in a big way.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is the 11th core game in the franchise, averaging one a year since the original’s launch back in 2007. Considering this, it’s no surprise that they’ve honed their collective skills to a fine edge when it comes to crafting digital reproductions of historic locations, and that in addition to creating one of (if not the) best-looking game in the series, Ubisoft Quebec has poured more effort and detail than ever into their rendition of ancient Greece – and nowhere in it’s massive world map is a better example of this than the city of Athens.
“It’s that booming city of antiquity,” says Odyssey’s Creative Director Jonathan Dumont during a recent interview, “That we tried to picture as a city of light, as a city of the future, for them.” As the cultural, social and political hub of the Grecian world, Athens was many things to many people. A trading port, a center for academia and philosophy, an artistic haven or hotbed of political revolution and more, the diversity of 430 BCE Athens is difficult to put together. This largely stems from the fact that while one of the most famous cities from the era, it had already existed for thousands of years, constantly changing hands between rulers and societies, and would exist for thousands more before Ubisoft’s research teams could begin exploring it.
When asked if EA was still thinking about one day returning to making baseball video games, EA Sports Executive Vice President Cam Weber simply says “the answer is yes.”
“I would love to have a baseball game in our portfolio,” Weber says. “It’s something that once again, every couple years, we take a look and we talk about and theorize about what it might look like to get back into something like baseball.”
In this month’s IGN Unfiltered (see the full interview above), Weber sat down to discuss his career journey, from The Simpsons: Road Rage to managing the world’s largest sports game company.
