In recent years, reflecting on the past 12 months has seemed to bring back nothing but woe. Surprisingly, though, 2024 saw a higher number of candidates for good things in tech than bad. In spite of the continued AI onslaught, widespread dissatisfaction and worldwide political conflict, there were some bright spots this year that put smiles on faces and took minds off things. As we get ready to start saying “2025” when making plans, here’s hoping that reminiscing about the best things in tech in 2024 can help us remember joyful times.LocalThunkYou likely don’t know the name LocalThunk, which is…
LG plans to bring a lamp to CES 2025 that can also be used as a small garden. This “indoor gardening appliance” is designed for apartment dwellers and those who don’t have access to the benefits of homegrown produce in their backyards.During the day, a lamp with a circular lampshade illuminates the plants you want to grow with LED light at five different intensities, according to LG. And at night, the light turns upwards, creating a cozy atmosphere in any room you place the lamp in. If you prefer something more compact and armchair height, LG also has a side…
When I started reading Spider-Boy (which is one of the all-time great series of books in the Spider-Man family), I never imagined that Spider-Boy would end up not only partnering with Daredevil, but also competing with him. at a “Enter the Dragon” style tournament held in Madripoor, Wolverine’s home base.The tournament officially begins with Spider-Boy #14, written by Dan Slott, with art and colors by Paco Medina, Humberto Ramos, and Eric Arciega. It features a wide variety of fighters representing different cultures from around the world. The variety of combatants makes this issue so interesting that you could easily create…
Making the dream comics list is a difficult prospect, especially for a publisher like Marvel. Not to mention the breadth of characters, and the 85-year history to consider. Marvel: Unforgettable Stories manages to pull off what should have been an impossible feat, thanks to the labor of love from Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum. The two are not experts in the world of comics. They served as showrunners on Hulu’s excellent but short-lived MODOK series and most recently created Dark Horse’s Minor Threat series.Oswalt and Blum recently sat down with AIPT to discuss the recently released Marvel: Unforgettable Stories and…
Shopping can be difficult for gamers. Even if you know the types of games they usually play, there’s no guarantee they’ll like a particular title. But I have no hesitation in recommending Astro Bot to anyone on your list with a PS5. I don’t have a lot of time to play games, so I’m careful about which games I choose (mostly I play whatever I review on Engadget). So when Jess called Astro Bot “one of the best games Sony has ever made,” I thought it was a safe bet. That was an underestimation on my part. It’s a lot…
The following contains spoilers for “Joy to the World.”If there’s one thing Steven Moffat wants to do with Doctor Who, it’s to find hidden monsters in everyday life. He crafted statues, shadows, lost children, and even the concept of silence into some of the show’s most terrifying villains. Sadly, the mysterious extra doors often found in old hotel rooms aren’t such a universal concern, but they’re still a rich thread of inquiry for him. That’s the inspiration for Doctor Who’s 2024 Christmas special, Joy to the World. What’s something that’s light, fun, and sprinkled with a little bit of what…
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! This Christmas, I received the gift of a hot rod being featured on the cover of this book, so let’s go check it out! Anyway, this is issue #15 of Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felice’s Void Rivals. This is incredible lore, so let’s dive into it. We all have a place at Christmas.There’s so much new material to understand in this issue that it’s hard to know where to start. I think the obvious thing to point out is that this is probably the most Transformers this book has ever gotten. Here we firmly…
The year is coming to an end, and Mark Waid’s weekly “Phantom” story in Action Comics is coming to an end. So how does Action Comics #1081 by Wade and Clayton Henry end? It’s… a little complicated. The setup for this issue is excellent, with Xadu, the self-proclaimed “Phantom King,” escaping from the Phantom Zone and gathering the remaining refugees to defeat Superman. Complicating matters is Mon-El, who is dancing on the brink of death…and his only salvation lies in the Zone.This would have been a great finale, but Wade’s script moves the plot points through quickly like a checklist.…
Joshua Williamson poses a difficult challenge for Superman. He’s had to team up with Lobo to fight an army of brainiacs, temporarily lost his powers during Absolute Power, and is dealing with not one, but two different versions of Doomsday. Superman #21 appears to have Williamson stepping away from his computer and realizing, “I have to give Superman a break.” So this issue is dedicated to the Man of Steel and his wife Lois Lane, aka the newly minted Superwoman, going on a date night.In true Superman fashion, things don’t go as planned. Clark and Lois are working on their…
