Sony has announced the first set of PlayStation Plus games for 2025, which will be available to all subscribers, regardless of which service tier they subscribe to. This month brings Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, and The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe. I can’t say this is the most exciting set of games, but at least The Stanley Parable is a classic, albeit old. The game was first released as a mod for Half-Life 2 in 2011. The official full version was then released in 2013, followed by the Ultra Deluxe version for modern…

If you ask a dozen comic book readers who their favorite member of the X-Men is, you’ll likely get a dozen different answers. Some people may be drawn to icons like Wolverine or Storm. Others choose lesser-known mutants like Sunspot or Cannonball. I’m personally a fan of Kitty Pryde. But one character that doesn’t quite make it onto your favorites list is Nathan Summers, the time-traveling mutant soldier known as Cable. David Pepose and Mike Henderson aim to change that with Cable: Love and Chrome #1.Love and Chrome begins with Cable on a mission to stop a doomsday cult from…
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #28 takes things to the next level with the second part of the “Wakanda’s Web” storyline. Or rather, it takes a few notches as Black Panther and his sister Shuri continue their quest to cure Miles’ vampirism. Part of that quest involves taking Miles before Bast, the panther goddess who gives power to the Black Panther lineage. But in true Spider-Man fashion, that’s easier said than done.I have to give credit to Cody Ziggler and Daniele Di Nicuolo for tapping into the balance of mysticism and science cultivated in J. Michael Straczynski’s The Amazing Spider-Man. That’s true.…
THIS WEEK: The DC Round-Up crew reflects on the year that was for DC with a look at their 10 best comics of 2024. DC Comics had a lot going on this year. From storytelling initiatives like the Absolute Power event, DC All In, and the launch of the much-hyped Absolute DC Universe, to new collected edition formats like the smaller, book market-friendly DC Compact Comics and the long-awaited answer to Marvel’s Epic Collections in the comprehensive DC Finest line, there was something for every type of reader in the publisher’s 2024 offerings. On the monthly comics front, there were…

Happy New Year everyone! This is Crooker, featuring issue 3 of Tate Brombal and Takeshi Miyazawa’s Batgirl, starring my favorite character, Cassandra Cain. What a great way to start the new year? New comic book day? As always, this book made me giddy with joy, so today I’m going to sit down and let you rant about it in a few hundred words.I really like the perspective given in this issue. Here, another outside perspective is shown through Cass’s eyes and the thoughts of her followers on Shiva after the last brutal battle. The multifaceted and many different characterizations of…
Happy New Year! It’s hard to imagine a wilder year than ’24, but somehow we think ’25 is going to full or surprises. And to kick things off, it’s our annual survey of creators for what they’ve got coming up and what’s on their mind. For the last 20 years or so we’ve run this survey to ask creators for a look back and look forward and maybe even throw in a few previews here and there. We’ll be running answers the next few days and announcing the the Comics Industry Person of the Year for 2024 on Friday. AI….unions….the…
Marvel Comics is embarking on the “What If…?” series. All one-shots about the potential Herald of Galactus. The Silver Surfer makes an appearance, and especially this week, the Hulk becomes a herald. What if…? A series of one-shots is storied, iconic, and even has a TV show, but can Marvel’s latest foray into alternate realities be a success? The answer is more or less.What if there is something else…? In a Galactus one-shot, Hulk is probably the most logical. Gambit, Moon Knight, Spider-Gwen, and Rogue certainly make sense under the right circumstances, but Hulk is one of Marvel’s most powerful…
Image credit: Jason Brown/midlifegamergeek.com Hello, lovely readers, and Happy New Year! I hope 2025 is kind to you. And remember. If you’re reading this on a site other than midlifegamergeek.com, it’s been stolen/plagiarized/reused by some idiot. Where were we anyway? Oh yeah, X-Force #60 teases the beginning of the story on the cover of X-Force #59, and seems to promise to reveal Shatterstar’s origins on the cover. However, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how much you want (or think you need) to know about this brooding warrior, especially since his origins were already pretty widely known by this point, it’s…
