The Future Is Looking Up for DC’s Teen Heroes

How long has it been since DC has had a great ensemble comic focused on teenage heroes? The Teen Titans franchise has been repeatedly overhauled since the advent of the New 52, but to no avail. You really have to look all the way back to Geoff Johns 2003-2005 Teen Titans run to find a period where DC was truly doing right by these characters. And that’s despite the fact that DC has been finding so much success in the TV realm thanks to shows like Titans, Teen Titans Go! and Young Justice.

That’s where the new Wonder Comics imprint comes in. The hope is that the newly DC-exclusive Brian Michael Bendis can help spearhead a major push to revamp and revitalize these teen heroes, while at the same time adding a few new faces to the mix. Who better to turn to than the man who helped welcome Peter Parker into the 21st Century with Ultimate Spider-Man. Young Justice #1 doesn’t have quite the dramatic impact Ultimate Spider-Man #1 did almost 20 years ago, but it does suggest a much brighter future lies in wait for these characters.

Is DC Comics Teasing a New Crisis?

DC Comics’ Young Justice #1 does far more than just bring back a classic teen superhero team.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Young Justice #1!

This new series opens with the warriors of the alternate dimension known as Gemworld laying siege to Metropolis, taking advantage of Superman’s absence to invade Earth. Fortunately, teen heroes like Robin, Impulse, Wonder Girl, Jinny Hex and Teen Lantern all happen to be in town and ready to repel this invading army.

The Best Capture Cards

If you’re an aspiring content creator or streamer, then you absolutely need a capture card for recording and broadcasting game footage. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One make it easy to get streaming with their respective Mixer and Twitch apps but if, say, you want to set up complex scenes with overlays, chroma-keyed backgrounds using high-end camera equipment, you’ll need to upgrade to a PC capture device. Think of it like the GPU for your budding streaming career: you can’t work without one.

Aladdin: Sharknado Studio Making a Mockbuster Version

The Asylum, the independent movie studio responsible for famous knock-offs like The Atlantic Rim, Tomb Invader, Independents’ Day and the original disaster franchise Sharknado, is revving up to film a mockbuster version of Disney’s Aladdin.

As reported by /Film, this version of Aladdin (a story in the public domain included in the Middle Eastern folktale compilation One Thousand and One Nights published in 1706) is set to start filming in Los Angeles this week.

The cast breakdown of the film reveals each major character, as well as a surprising amount of plot spoilers. Of course, Aladdin and Genie are both accounted for, but Jasmine and Jafar are Disney creations, so they have been switched out for the characters Shahzadi and Vizier Maghreb (respectively) who may closer resemble the characters of the original story. Four other characters that are a part of Aladdin’s street performer group are listed in the cast list as well.

AC Odyssey: Second DLC Pack Release Date Announced

The second episode of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s Legacy of the First Blade DLC will be released on January 15, Ubisoft announced today.

Titled Shadow Heritage, this latest chapter continues the story from Episode 1, Hunted, and sees players investigating “a blockade initiated by the Order of the Ancients around the port city in Achaia.” In order to begin Shadow Heritage, players will have to complete Hunted, progress beyond the Naxos portion of Chapter 7 in the main story, and reach at least level 28.

Legacy of the First Blade is available as part of the $40 USD Season Pass or as a separate $25 USD purchase.

The Daughters of Lalaia and A Poet’s Legacy, the fourth and fifth episodes of Odyssey’s free The Lost Tales of Greece DLC, will also be released this month, in addition to a new level scaling setting. This new option, available on all difficulty settings but Nightmare, allows players to adjust “how drastically the enemies will scale to their level.”
