If you’ve ever wondered why Darth Vader built a castle on Mustafar, Marvel has revealed the answer.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Star Wars – Darth Vader #22!

2016’s Rogue One first introduced Vader’s sinister fortress into official Star Wars continuity, revealing that the Dark Lord of the Sith built a castle on the very world where Anakin Skywalker died. But as it turns out, there’s much more to the castle than just Vader’s need to get away from it all and have a spa day. It all ties into the return of Lord Momin, an ancient Sith Lord first introduced in the 2015 comic Star Wars: Lando.

This is a spoiler-free review for Netflix’s Bodyguard Season 1. All six episodes are currently available to stream on Netflix. 

The UK’s most-watched drama in 2018 (so far), which premiered on BBC One back in August, has finally made its way to Netflix subscribers in the US. There’s been plenty of hype surrounding the series, not only as a popular hit with viewers across the pond, but also an exceptional thriller, helmed by showrunner Jed Mercurio (Line of Duty). Thankfully, we can confirm that all of the praise is well deserved, as Bodyguard, starring Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden, is a first-rate show brimming with terrifying, unpredictable twists and turns.

No doubt some readers unfamiliar with the source material will dismiss Books of Magic as a blatant Harry Potter ripoff. That’s unfair, since the original comics predate Harry Potter by a number of years, but the simple fact is that the popularity of this franchise was long ago dwarfed by that of the Potterverse. Heck, spend much time on Twitter these days and it becomes painfully apparent that some people have never read a book not penned by J.K. Rowling. This new series needs to do all it can to distinguish itself and find a unique spin on the “magical boarding school” archetype. It doesn’t. The basic formula remains as appealing as ever, but this series seems content to retell a story we’ve read before.

It looks like Microsoft’s popular unlimited access subscription service Xbox Game Pass will be coming to PC in the future.

As reported by Game Informer (via Windows Central), Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the news in a fiscal year 2019 Q1 earnings call.

Though no details were given on how this will make its way to PC, it’s a solid bet that Game Pass will be used in conjunction with the Microsoft Store. Game Pass currently has over 100 games to download for $10 a month, with Microsoft ensuring that all first-party titles launch on the service upon release. Microsoft exclusives released earlier this year, like Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon 4, launched day-and-date on Xbox Game Pass.

Peter Parker has really come full circle in 2018. Where a year ago he was one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the Marvel Universe, now he’s back to being a broke, struggling, perpetually unloved loser. He’s gone from bankrolling the Avengers to being a loner again. If anything, the current volume of Amazing Spider-Man has oversold that transition a bit. Spider-Man is treated like a pariah in the superhero community for no real reason. Luckily, issue #8 takes full advantage of Peter’s outsider status as it establishes a new threat to the Marvel U.

The stakes in this issue are much higher than in the previous, Boomerang-focused storyline. An old enemy has returned in a new form, and Spider-Man is quite literally the only hero equipped to do something about it.

The success of Old Lady Harley may depend largely on what you want out of this new miniseries. If you merely crave an extension of the main Harley Quinn book, one that features a similar tone and sense of humor but a radically different setting, then Old Lady Harley delivers the goods. But if you’re hoping for a somber reflection on Harley’s life and legacy a la Old Man Logan or The Dark Knight Returns, you may come away disappointed. It’s a fun read, but not one that runs as far with the premise as it could.

Building on the initial Old Lady Harley storyline form the main series, this spinoff takes a deeper dive into the alternate future DCU where Power Girl is President of the United States, Canada is overrun by poutine-loving zombies and Harley is a few decades older and exactly as weird. The big selling point this time around is that Harley and her faithful sidekick/Deadpool clone Red Tool have to hunt down Joker, who apparently managed to cheat death yet again.
