Tom King’s screenplay, by contrast, reveals its cracks when Justice League becomes a mostly clichéd dialogue caricature.dc comicsThis issue spends most of its time asking the age-old question: “Should superheroes intervene in multinational wars?” This question ultimately distracts from the dire…
The day has finally come to find out how Trinity was born and who her father is in Wonder Woman #14. Tom King writes fun and interesting backup to flesh out Belen Ortega, but how she came to be remains a mystery. Until this week.

The new supervillain, The Sovereign, continues to narrate, and on page two the reveal that Steve Trevor will be murdered is made. Sovereign has been trying to break Wonder Woman on multiple issues,…
I love when DC does Year One stories. In the Batman universe, there are many character origin stories to choose from, and some characters have multiple variations. For Dick Grayson, there are several great arcs to choose from. If you’re going for the theme of “Year,” then “Batman: Year 3” and “Robin: Year One” would be candidates. When this series was first announced, there may have been more excitement about the reunion of Mark Waid and Chris Samney than about the origins of Batman and Robin. So how does this reunited duo make the story dynamic? dc comicsOne of Mark…
John Lewis, the luxury British department store chain, has simply listed a new Kindle that is not available anywhere else. This is the next 12th generation Kindle e-reader that Amazon hasn’t announced yet, but that information has been leaked multiple times before Lewis prematurely posted the product listing.

Apple doesn’t offer many discounts on its product lineup, so it’s exciting to see tablet accessories on sale for a third of the normal price. You can buy the Apple Pencil Pro for just $90 on Amazon, which is the lowest price we’ve seen so far.

The stylus is pressure sensitive. In other words, pressing harder will create a darker mark, and…
Like Professor X and Magneto, Intel and AMD know when to team up against a common enemy. The companies have created a new x86 advisory group to stem the risk of platform leakage due to Arm’s rapid adoption. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, whose company is participating in the effort, said the board will “help drive software consistency and standard interfaces.”Intel and AMD aim to find new ways to increase cross-platform compatibility and expand the x86 ecosystem. Arm, which licenses Apple silicon, Qualcomm chips, and some Big Tech data centers, is now adopting a simpler, more flexible design. Compared to x86,…
